Registered 1 hour ago=fake giveaway.

When I joined this site, the first order of business was to give away a game, and I did so without hesitation.
I didn't get one person saying "Fake!" perhaps they checked my inventory previously, or were just really trustworthy.

Regardless, people really shouldn't be so frugal with their free points.

Click me!

Is that hypocritical or what

It's more the "Registered 5 minutes ago. Entered 6 giveaways. Made a 50-copy Skyrim giveaway, and has Skyrim on Steam Wishlist" people :p

If they simply incorporated not being able to create giveaways of Wishlist items, it'd reduce these fake giveaways significantly :)

Even if I spot an invalid giveaway, I just report it. No point wasting my time harassing the person responsible to inflate my e-peen. If you post anything other than a brief informative message about whatever rules they might be breaking, or what they seem to misunderstand about the site, you're pretty much trolling or witch-hunting. There's really no need for it. Just report it and the mods will deal with it. /thread

all give ways are FAKE i am yet to win anything entered 28 WON 0 they must be all FAKE

actually i won Faerie Solitaire :P ( but i guess so did everyone else )

Yes , i'm too registered on steamgifts , and instantly ,make giveaway , when i don't have the game on list , but have gift.:)

One of these days, I'm going to make a new steam account just for the purpose of making a 10-copy skyrim giveaway right after I make the account on Steamgifts. Everyone will think it's fake, so they won't enter it, and I'll just sit there with 10 copies. :|

I don't say "FAKE" when I suspect something. However if I notice somethings that see off such as a new user, a giveaway for a game that is relatively expensive and has not been on sale recently, and if it is not in their inventory (or if it is in their wishlist), I may post something about how there is a chance that it may not be a real giveaway with the evidence (I only did this once or twice though)

My fucking face when divinemango makes a post and is absolutely right.

giveaways need to be ENFORCED meaning the person that is doing the give needs to show proof they have the game in there steam library or screen shot a picture of where they are buying the game at with the time and date on it. there is too many fake ones going out

I think its the most hilarious when people scream "FAKE", but just in case they're wrong, enter it anyway.

Anyone ever witness one of those jackasses winning, in a screw-you sort of ironic fashion?

Its a little annoying seeing people claim fake all the time and its funnier when you see them still entering them. I say if you think its a fake don't be dramatic just avoid it and not enter, and then be on your way to the next giveaway.

you don't get points back when it finishes and is a fake. sorry.

Saged, reported, hidden & called the cops.

Seriously, 99% of giveaways mentioned in OP posts are fake, or made by people misinterpreting this site. If I see a potential fake giveaway, I just report it, no bitching. I may leave a comment in cases I am absolutely sure, just to warn other people, but who reads comments and descriptions anyway, majority of people just click "Enter giveaway" button and piss on everything else.

Divinemango for president!

Now, seriously. Those "zOMG, fake!!11 peoplez enterings ar n00bz" idiots are really annoying

I think you are taking things out of context here...... MOST people will check things about the person - whether he has been VAC banned? Does he have it in his inventory? His is profile private? How many games does he have? Is it on his wishlist?

These clues can tell us whether its fake or not - and if you have ever won a give away with 2000 entries, and it turns out to be fake THEN you WOULD'NT be bitching about this right here.

You know people usually check if the user has the game in his inventory or not... if not then the giveaway is most likely fake
