I think the site just increased in quality for banning this idiot.

The only part where I somehow agree with him is "cant giveaway certain steam games" (I completly ignored the car part because it's not so good (and i'm nice here)). You will say people will abuse some games. No. The ones that are now on the blacklist will not increase the contribution, basicaly if he had 20$ contribution he will still have 20$ contribution if he is making a giveaway with a game that's on the blacklist. The ones entering a giveway for a game on the blacklist will spent 1P (think it's the minimum). And now for the last part, the fact that there will tones of giveaway with particular games, the giveaway with games on the blacklist will be displayed only if the user check an option (not login => those giveaway will not be visible). Filters can be used not to show giveaway with games you already have, so an option with games giveaway on the blacklist can be easily added (I think the entire code it's already there, only in this case it will be a global list for all members).
So:
1) if someone make a giveaway with a game on the blacklist he will not gain contribution
2) to enter a giveaway for a game on the blacklist you will use 1p
3) if you don't want to see those giveaways you will not see them because by default they will not be visible unless you agree to see them and you will have the option not to see them if u want to change it in the future

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.
