What is your definition of a good SteamGifts profile?

Why is trading a factor in a good SteamGIFTS profile?

• polite people
• no leeching (8:1 ratio = bad)
• no konrad
• no lv11

good looking people can ignore those requirements. <3

Good Steamgift profile: Good trade feedback, not hacking, activating their gifts and maybe kind words as a bonus.
Ratio means nothing.

About me not talking much..

Not checking the forum much, mainly because..

• There is no option to sort all threads by date created (or there is?).
• Based on my Steam profile, yep I don't talk much.

I join in and check the forum only when..

• I have no point left (Rarely, because most of the time My SG shows only 5-6 pages of giveaways (3K+ games owned).)
• Looking for a deal.
• Looking for a puzzle to kill times when I got bored.
  I leave a comment only in a thread that someone specifically mention my name, or Not many replies yet.

• No level requirements.
• Active/Kind/Helpful individuals on the forums.
• Ratio? I could care less about there ratio as long as they play the games. Card farming does NOT count as playing a game.
• Even though I don't trade, having lots of red is a big no-no.
• Most important of all?! Following SG rules! It's not hard, just rreeeeeeaaaddddd them!

Lately I've been filling my whitelist. My only criteria is that I need know the guy(duh) and that I like them because they are cool nice dudes. Level and ratio is not a criteria for me, or I would be a very hypocrite person more than I already am.

That's it. Simple.

Give mostly to whole community in public GAs or some events rather than participate in one or two 1:1 ratio groups (that's more than raffle with making GAs as buying "tickets" than giving games to strangers to make them happy).

And have activated all wins / don't have multiple wins. That's my "definition" of good SG profile. I don't care really about forum activity, not everyone is loud extrovert who loves to make tons of more or less needed topics.

Can I access to your whitelist?

Only a few things for me:
-sends valid gifts to the winners
-activates won gifts
-typetiquette: no spamming, no harasing, no begging,...

A good Steamgifts profile? One with no regifted games and a good ratio. A pretty avatar to look at helps. BAM! Done.

I guess no one reason in particular. I've added people I've found a connection with here, people with things in common with me, helpful users to myself or others, etc. So many great users here. :)

*level one+. I don't care about ratio, but they should at least contribute something.

*not a leecher. too me, it's a "you know it when you see it" type deal.

*shouldn't have marks on trading ratio.

I don't have much qualifications to a good profile, I usually just add nice, funny, any interesting people from the forums. These are kinda just disqualifiers, when I go to someone's profile to whitelist them, if they don't have theses qualities, I probably won't whitelist 'em.

On my whitelist are different people. I added people who are active in the puzzles, people who voiced opinions in the forum I agree with and sometimes people who I realize have put me on their WL.

As to a spot on your WL:

Level 1 or higher ✔
Good ratio. Sent more than won. ✔
Created recent giveaways (in the last month or so) ✔
Giveaways include unbundled and highly acclaimed games ✔
Recent giveaways are not all for private groups ✔
Untainted trade ratio... since I don't trade it's still good ;-) ✔

A good profile IMO doen't have not activated wins, multiple wins or other infractions. Rulebreaker I put on my blacklist... which sadly is a lot longer than my WL.

• I don't quite care about ratio unless of course it's something like 1 sent 100 won and the guy joined 3 years ago.
• I WL nice guys because they deserve it! Among them are forum lurkers mostly.
• I also don't care if their giveaways were private or group exclusive (unless they all are below 10 entries or so). I myself only post giveaways on the forum :D
• Ohh, and last but not least I WL whoever has me on WL. I believe that's only fair to do so.

To me, a good profile is simply a profile that follows the rules. Having good ratios, being higher levels or anything else is just irrelevant.

Ratio means nothing if you have only given away a few tens of gifts imo.

Who has a better profile, a guy with 2 gifts won and 9 gifts sent, or a guy with 500 gifts won and 450 gifts sent?

Who has a better profile, a guy who has given away a 100$ AAA game and has won 5 1$ bundle (or even free) games, or a guy who has given away 9 1$ bundle (or free games) and has won 2 100$ AAA games?

The number and value of giveaways are meaningful, the ratio alone means nothing imo.

Answering to your question, my criteria is whitelisting people who have whitelisted me. I haven't created a whitelist giveaway yet though because I only have 3 people on my whitelist lol

If their names start with the letter M, you should insta-trust them. You will never be betrayed by those people, and they tend to be very intelligent, funny and original.

1. Active poster (and quality poster) on the forum. It's my main "guideline" when adding users to my whitelist.
2. Give/win ratio. Doesn't have to be amazing, but the giveaways count should be at least close to the wins. I won't add leeches to my whitelist. :P
3. Good background. And by that I mean; no attempt at farming CV in the past, no bad behavior, no questionable Steam profile or trading rep.

I'm not extremely strict in my whitelisting, because, being in a financially unstable situation myself, I am aware of how even giving away a small bundled game can be really hard. Heck, without TremorGames, I would probably barely ever give anything away.

However, at some point when I was close to winning more than I had given away, I simply stopped entering giveaways. It isn't so hard. When I see a profile with 100 wins and 10 giveaways created, I usually go "Oh, come on... seriously." At this point, it's not about being "low on funds", but just being plain old greedy. And that's why some users here don't get on my whitelist even though they are fairly active community members. :P

As long as no rules are broken I'm fine.

Fulfill my wish in description , and not being a dick have to be informed to click received.

For me I have a simple one, if you are a nice guy in the forums, or around other places, easy whitelist! But if you are an ass, or begging, or any other not so good stuff, blacklist. I also base it off of what they giveaway, if they give away a lot of bundle games, and they don't have too many games themselves (or mostly indie/free games, like me) then I will whitelist them. They are giving away what they can afford to give away. I'm not going to judge people if they only give away bundled games. Just if they have won a ton of games, and haven't given away any/a low amount.

Hmm, this is something i've yet to distinguish. This is could be why i do NOT use this whitelist feature, it's a tad redundant imo. I've seen many nice people here, and I can't really rank either them higher than the next. The Blacklist feature on the other hand is okeys since I have a good Thousand or so people there (@=

Ratio is not important to me as long as people are not using this site to increase their libraries. I prefer people who play their wins (not IdleMaster) even if they don't give back much. Giving away games is not an obligation, although people who get involved in this community through discussions will eventually give away something. When I joined steamgifts it never crossed my mind that I'll be buying games to give to strangers, I was here to get free games until I found the forum.
If they have broken the rules they don't have a good profile to me, giving away free games to farm CV will get them on my blacklist.
I can understand people who give games exclusively to groups if in the past they have made public giveaways. I'm getting sick and tired of asking for re-rolls myself.
When a user has some negative trade feedback I read the comments and judge for myself. I've seen some me and my whole family, definitely not alt accounts, will blacklist/-rep you threats before.
