My two cents. If anything you can "spend" contributor value to gain access to certain giveaways thus lowering your overall value so people who do more giveaways can join these higher point total giveaways more often. Great site so far though.

That's why I think that givaways with higher contributor value then you have should be hidden for people who don't qualify.
Another idea is to make the contributor value based on the actual woth of the game not on the steam price (the ship for example) or on the sale price. Though it'd be a bit unfair for some people.

Has this man been denied his fair share of fuzzy? Who would be so cruel to do this?

You should seriously write a support ticket for that as system seems to be bugged on your case. Each completed giveaway should bring you a healthy package full of warm fuzzies. My personal favourite flavour is orange sweet candy.

Looking at all the replies above it seems like the ones who should read this post, aren't visiting the forum.

My value, you say? Well, let's see- the clothes I'm wearing right now are worth roughly 10 dollars (because, hey, I sure wouldn't buy clothes that have been worn for half a decade for more) and I myself am worth 1 dollar (because we all know that's how much a human costs). So my "value" in the moment is about 11$... damn, I'm cheap. Oh, wait, found some gum in my pocket- 11.10$!

Aye, though I would personally count a working organ to be more valueable than its decomposition.

Surprised no one commented saying "BUT", I guess they don't wanna get flamed on. I guess the SG users are evolving afterall! lol

It isn't a good investment? Scheiße. I'm firing my financial adviser tomorrow. :-)

One of the few giveaways where you actually get more comments than entries :D

Contributor giveaways are something that was instituted to give people the option of rewarding people who were already contributing to the SteamGifts community in the first place. They were not intended to be something that would cause people to try and abuse the system by inflating their contribution value. That's why measures were taken and continue to be taken to prevent the worst forms of this abuse. Most of you probably already know all this.
What really makes no sense, though, is how people are still trying, and how much so many people obsess over their precious 'value.' Honestly, if you're just trying to get your value up to enter contributor giveaways, leave. Just stop. Grab your things and go. This is not the place for you. Contributor giveaways aren't even that exclusive unless you get a ridiculously high value. You're better off just saving your money and buying the games you want if you're only trying to raise your value for selfish reasons.
tl;dr: Stop wasting your time and money worrying about your value. If you think it's a good investment, you're an idiot.
Edit: For those of you who don't understand the reasons behind this post, it's mostly in response to how many people I see whining about issues with their contributor value who obviously would never make giveaways at all except to try and raise it. As stated previously, take it somewhere else. This is not an investment or a trade-off. Stop expecting to get something in return for your contributions, warm fuzzies aside.
Second edit: Really guys? Only 11 entries? I just italicized the link letters in my post. I wouldn't even call this a puzzle. You should be able to spot these by now. SteamGifts, I am disappoint.
