Should I give the games away anyway?
Join Lootboy SG and use the keys for Group GAs. The group rules require members to agree to delete failed GAs (otherwise they are kicked from the group). At least, that's what I have chosen to do with any dubious keys, that I believe, may be of interest to some folks. I also add my blue heart friends, as I trust, that they will also agree to remove a failed GA. Otherwise, I would either feed some ninjas, or risk ugly arguments with some random user.

It depends on your winners.
I had one case, at my cakeday thread, where i gave away one key that wasn't ok. The winner told me that but i hadn't a other key for the same game to replace it. I questioned him if he is ok with the deletion of the GA because i can't replace the key. He don't answered, at later sentences from me no answer too and exactly after 7 days he marked it as not recieved.
Brought him a blacklist so i don't know what he won with it but it was a lot of unneeded work/loosed time and a not so nice cake day present [That lower the chances that i make again such a low level public GA].
The deleted GA's kill one of your possible GA slots and you earn one for each 3 GA's you made and the winner marked as recieved.
So at the begin can this be a problem, when you made 900 GA's it isn't.
In the end i would only recommend GA's from safe sources and if you are really unsure then put the keys into the description of a other GA. Maybe a whitelist one.

If you're in doubt about a key, you have one safe option and one relatively safe option.
Safe option: drop it in the key drop thread. You won't get credit for a giveaway, but you'll earn some good karma.
Relatively safe option: join the Lootboy SG group, as mentioned above by Aydaylin and make a giveaway for that group.
Contrary to what people seem to believe around here, you're expected to deliver the win. If someone allows you to delete a giveaway, it's a courtesy, and not an obligation. Rather, I consider it my personal obligation to deliver what was won, so I don't risk questionable keys.

Hi everyone! I just found a huge list of old-ish steam keys forgotten in a txt in my dropbox folder...
I'm not sure if they still works (i didn't activated them bc already have the games which they are for), just not sure if they are still available (various sources including freebie websites).
Should I give them away anyway and ask to remove the giveaway if its not available? i didnt want red giveaways on my profile...Is there a problem if i ask to remove many times?
(and i dont want to spend everyone's time and points for nothing)
Please, advice.
Thanks
