lol :D your comparison is wrong.
as u said: rule concerning the need to activate the game within 7 days of winning it (= its like someone telling you that you need to drive the Ford Mustang within 7 days of winning it) this means in game point that u must play game within 7 day from winning it's not activating it's playing as your comparison says. also if u win ford mustang and u dont go to lottary company for some time they will reroll your win here is same thing. if u wont activate game or not accept gift giveaway will be rerolled.
activating game is most important rule of steamgifts cos say u are in group with few people like 30 people. u can make giveways for that group and if when somebody wins game he makes giveaway for won game and it goes again and again and people from that group not really receive any game but they accumulate contribution in this way nobody will make real giveaway they will just accumulate contribution.
rule: u cant enter giveaway of game u own. this is second most important rule cos if u have game and still enter there is no point for u else u want to get money from other person who actually spent money on game. this is just robbery. say u bought some AAA game and u gaveaway it here and winner already had it and u see in some trade site that he is trading your game which u gaveaway and he won it. he actually gets profit from your. if somebody else won who actually didn't had game and activated it, u will know that person who won it will play it some day.
u didn't like rules so why complain? as u said there is competitors so go there. nobody will miss u :D

OP is not the one who made the comparisons, he merely saw someone on another forum making those arguments and shared them here. :)

Well . . . he has a point, only the wrong point. I think he just did not understand the rules of the site.

Hats off to you, you resumed my thought accurately reading this complain, on the top of that, without aggressivity.

I didn't think it was possible to get brain cancer from reading. The more you know.

It amuses me when people get so upset and post how it's 'going to shit' like it's some great important part of their life. If steamgifts closed or 'went to shit', I'd be a little sad because I actually enjoy this community but I'd be like any other mentally stable person and get over it.
Drama queens.

I guess he forgot that when he signed up, he agreed to activate all wins within 7 days of winning. He doesn't have a valid complaint.

competitors? What, galiagiveaways? That's the closest thing I can think of and that site is a pile of shit.

GalaGiveaways is a joke. Playblink and Gameminer are not bad but both are designed to get people to contribute in order to get access to the most interesting giveaways. I do participate on giveaways on all 4 sites, but IMHO SG is the only community worth hanging around.

Oh, there are better sites than Steamgifts?
Do tell Willy Wonka face
Yeah, this bloke is an idiot. Not the OP. The OP gets a cookie for giving me a nice chuckle xD

He has point if it was a Ford lottery. But it is a Steam's Games lottery. And it seems he cant accept that.

"I have the feeling Steamgifts is rapidly declining in quality. so it is not that bad to be banned"
there a lot of things declining in quality today, ea, cartoon channels, pewdipie, but steamgifts is the last thing i would thing would be declining, i think in fact is going up more considering there is a lot of AAA games being gifted, also incredible lots of hate on that site with mods, never had a problem with them and i bet 90% of the users here neither..
however, the faq needs to be updated a bit, since (i think) there is some stuff not mentioned

He implies that the SG community was ever good. ;) lmao ;p

I found this one in a forum. Take a look at this frustrated guy's opinion about steamgifts:
"I personally dont like steamgifts.com, after buying and gifting my games there I got banned for not activating a few games that I have won. I gifted more games, much more expensive, then the ones I won. This didnt matter and my account was banned. Thats it. DONT RISK INVESTING INTO THAT SITE BECAUSE YOU CAN LOOSE YOUR ACCOUNT IN AN INSTANT BY THE DIRECTION OF SOME STUPID TEENAGER (aka. administrator).
The site is very clunky compared to their competitors which have much more relaxed restrictions.
Besides steamgifts.com restrictions are purely dumb (what is basically a lottery). They dont personally donate the games that people win, the users do and most (perhaps besides some stubborn Russians out there) dont really care if someone activates their game or not, or just passes it along to someone else (I never did even though I was gifting $20-50 games on a regular basis). The pure pleasure of winning is mostly fun for me, not playing the useless games that are mostly listed there.
Let me show you, from my point of view, why the rules on steamgifts.com are dumb. Considering that the site is basically a lottery, let me put adopt their rules for a lottery involving a Ford Mustang.
e.g., rule concerning the need to activate the game within 7 days of winning it (= its like someone telling you that you need to drive the Ford Mustang within 7 days of winning it)
e,g, cant enter into a giveaway f you own the game already (= its like someone telling you cant enter into a giveaway for a Ford Mustang because you already have one, assuming you do)
e.g., cant giveaway certain steam games, despite the fact that anyone can activate them on a steam account (= its like a giveaway organizer telling you you cant make a lottery for a Ford Mustang because you bought it cheap or at a lower price as it was part of a lot)
I hope some of you can see eye to eye with me on these regulatory issues with the site. I suggest you check out the competitors sites since, I think, they have a better future and its more worth investing your time and money into them rather than the ego drive and bureaucratically rotten steamgifts.com"
LMAO! He thinks the games he gave away should have protected him from the banhammer, and he compares steamgifts' gifts to... to a CAR! And he talks about steamgifts being a lottery, that's true, but steamgifts is a GREAT LOTTERY, cause you can increase your chances by giving away games, participating in groups and even resolving puzzles, and then sooner or later you will win GREAT GAMES.
