Yeah, one of the contestants is a friend of him, and he's on the giveaway.

What do you suggest me to write on the re-roll request?

If he "wins", just link to your list, and this thread in the support ticket, explaining that the giveaway was only for those listed, and this other guy cheated his way into the private giveaway. If the person who leaked the link wins, then if it was me, I'd do the same, and get it re-rolled :)

No worries. Hope you get it sorted without too much hassle :)

Also, good luck for you on my Lucky 7 giveaway (for what I created a group, just to prevent leaking)

He won Zero Gear twice, to boot. Reporting him as we speak.

Good deal, I would imagine something will come of this. You've done some really cool things lately for SteamGifts, and I'd hate for someone to take advantage of your generosity that you did NOT invite to do so.

Report it through "Support>Submit a question" and not through user report, as user reports are not yet available to mods to see.

Unless the rules have changed you can't report an username here publicly on the forum, so please remove that link.
As already said by others, you can request a new winner to exclude him and who has leaked the giveaway link.

What a ballbag.
He has one of the other contestants on his friends list, but that just may be a coincidence...

I've already contacted the contestant about this. I think would be wise for SG staff to just let me delete contestants from my giveaways...

Was just trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, and not call anybody out unnecessarily :)
I suppose the uninvited guest might have been trying to solve a puzzle giveaway and randomly stumbled upon this one...?
Oh, alright then... Burn them!

So, for us non-english speakers, I think it is a way to sound casual :)

Because they want to grab your attention. This practice of starting sentences with "so" has its origins in Silicon Valley, apparently, where it entered academic circles and eventually found its way to the internet where it festers and thrives in its current obnoxious state. I consider it poor form and highly annoying, and wish people would refrain from doing it.

I was not aware of that when I wrote the sentence; in fact, I'm from Brazil, and although I'm a literate one person, I always try to use a informal way when I write in english, as I've seen in so many english publications. In my mind the "so" was used with no intention to grab attention. It feels natural for me to use it.

I dIdn't want to imply that you used it to seek attention, but rather was trying to come up with an explanation for the phenomenon. Starting sentences with "so" has become a widespread practice (especially on the internet) and while it may be passable to do so in speech (within reason), I don't think it should be encouraged in written English, even in an informal context.

Well, the user went off the giveaway. I thank him for that.

This giveaway was done based on rules defined here, but a user has found it. He clearly can't be participating on it. What can I do if he wins? There's some way to report him for founding the link?
