Recently cg changed the random char sequence to case-sensitive - it's pretty much impossible to scan everything to find it if the giveaway lasts <1day now. Of course, the bot can get lucky and find it if it's created during the scan... but increasing the char sequence length wouldn't help much there.
An auto-banning feature for bot's IPs would help a lot though, if it's not already in place.

some interesting ideas.... 300pts per invite is alot, but it can be gotten easy enough with fake accounts.
a slight tweak on it would be only accounts that have successfully gifted can get invite codes.
can even make it dynamic, where the more you have gifted then the invite code price decreases.
the speed of this site and sgs have certainly decreased, at the least I think invites should be turned off until the speed problem improves.

I'm not sure if the minimum is really all that great of an idea. If there's a little dlc for a game that costs 0.99, it's already having a limit on the entries because only the people who have the base game can enter as it is. Why make people pay more points for a weapon pack for a game?

there are currently 27,142 members. anything you do will by changing the points will not increase your odds of winning. give it up. The site lag comes with the huge increase. and cg is all over it I'm sure. He has had to upgrade servers and fix things many times now, I'm sure hes got it taken care of. (actually at time of posting 2 days after this thread was made the site is running really smooth. well done fixing things up guys.)

Hi, i'm Redline, and I want to propose a few ideas to improve this nice site.
First of all - points balance. Set invite cost to 300. Set minimum gap of all games. like minimum cost 5P + game cost. If game costs 1$, entree will costs 6 points. That will limit small games from entree spamming. And of course point adding. I think we need to set it lower to 5% of game value.
To balance all this reductions need to set up point returning. I think 10-50% of point cost of the game will be returned into yours account, if you lose entree. After this you may be able to join entree sooner, and get your game.
Second - site lags. I think site need to be upgraded. If we set all system into non blocking site engine, all info will be up time, so people wouldn't refresh pages all the time. We can use system like in friend stream. It uses free non blocking system - Tornado. It'll make site more stable, and site will be able to have more simultaneous connections.
And third - entree properties. Entree needed more flexibility. Gifter need to be able set up limit of users, anti bot system - captcha, or custom question.
I think that's it. Please comment, and propose!
P.S. Sorry for bad language.
