If you can prove the game was actually sent, and the person marked it as not received, just contact support. The person having the game in their library isn't any kind of proof as they can easily buy it themselve after not getting it from here.

The gifter can't force anyone to do anything. Why would the person check the gift as received if it wasn't?

Well I think that it's quite a serious issue. If I were asked I'd definitely suspend him if there's enough evidence. I think that threatening someone to mark a game as received when you haven't gifted it is way worse than many other acts that imply a ban.
If we look at it, the gifter did not only not gift the game, but also threatened/convinced the other person therefore cheating towards Contribution Value. I see there more than one and two possible causes of suspension IMHO.
Ok. I've realised I got the question wrong. I should read more carefully. The winner of the game should be suspended if there is enough evidence that the game was gifted, that he received it and that he has not it anymore.

"My dad works for Steam and owns SteamGifts so you better mark received or I'll get you banned!"
Was that how he "forced" them?
Yes, he should be banned for being a stupid as hell and letting someone bully them into doing something over the internet.

Yes, IMHO. It allows fake "gifters" to get away with cheating the system, and is simply collaboration in a scam.
If you didn't get the game, don't tick the box. Nobody can "force" you to do so.
I can't think of a single situation where doing so would make sense...
Harsh, but that's my opinion :)

A lot of ToS/rules, etc usually state that if you break any rule, either unintentionally or intentionally it'll still be considered an infraction of the ToS/rules. I think this is usually done because in a lot of cases you can't truly tell whether someone had intent or not, other than their word about it. Even so, if the guy who was "forced" to mark receive signed up for the site in any capacity it's partially his fault for not reading the FAQ. (As an aside, all large sites, relatively speaking, that have user content have some sort of rules. So IF they claimed they didn't know there was a FAQ, then that's a pretty piss poor excuse)

The gifter forced the suspended person to check the option to "receive" the gift, but it didn't get gifted. The suspended person had played the free weekend and unlocked the achievements only. He doesn't have it in his library.
