Suggestion: Increase Mod Power and Responsibility

Glapos just got real.
Also I agree

I agree too. It's just sad that certain people in this community try to take advantage of such a great site, that was made by a great person. Wish more people had respect for the hard work he has put into it.

I approve this!

Minor suggestion: If you invite someone and this person is doing a successful giveaway you should lose your responsibility as this person proves to be a great addition to this site. Won't really affect those of us, who only invited friends :)

Agreed. Cult has been doing some really kick ass work, but he's just one man. Living with his girlfriend. And he takes frequent naps.

Indeed.

Fully agree, it's getting out of hand.

cave johnson here and i approve this message

Seems fair to me, nice idea !

Moderation is required in any community. Even more when it involves a bunch of trolls who consider giving people false hope "fun".

I agree, it really is getting out of hand.

Go ahead !

Ok!

Guys, I agree. Could you please tell more - which ones were fake? Were they those with the 11 year old, or something else I missed?
Thanks!

GLaPOS we all stand behind you! Go ahead!

With the gears turning and the every machinery all getting rusty, now i see all of you guys have finally come to your senses. I'm all for this idea and dearly pray this won't become like as it has for SGS. My only regret is that I still miss that o'l community we all used to share and love dearly.
btw keep up the good work Cult, Rj, and especially Cg. :D
Always watching,
Fail

A clear and resounding yes. I appreciate the work Cult and CG have been doing a great deal. Some helping hands for them would be good.

I agree things should be a bit more strict. Ban those with fake giveaways as well as those who invited them! I have invited two people here and I can vow (if that's the right word) for them.

I just saw a black ops giveaway vanish, I believe the user was blocked?

Anyway, I think some karma/rep status could help, maybe lock the number of giveaways you can enter/create, according to acc. age and participation, althou you can't consider the # of posts to that, everyone will keep posting "Thank you" and that's not a contribution at all.

The idea of forcing a giveaway before entering any is also something I'd consider, even if it's just portal.

One other thing is force the first X giveaways to be games you own. I wouldn't give Farcry2 if I didn't already own it, for example..

I agree as well.

I agree that those that create fake giveaways should be banned, but not that people that invite said members. I know a lot of people are invited through reddit communities like r/playitforward, and someone should not be punished on top of someone posing as decent screwing them out of an invite - I and many others check the post histories of people we invite, but that doesn't keep a determined troll from faking one. Maybe if the person that inadvertently gave a troll an invite has a legitimate completed giveaway, they should be cleared of responsibility.

It's all about priority. CG's gotta decide whether or not implementing mod tools is more or less important than other things right now. He'll certainly get around to it when he's ready.

Indeed, I've always felt that people who sold invites, or invited people who did, should be banned to kill of that kind of cancerous behaviour - I feel the same regarding those who create fake giveaways.

I should be responsible for the actions of those I invite, and so too should anyone else be responsible for those they invite.

Minor suggestion: Only people who maded a (real) giveaway can invite other people. This would solve several problems. They would certainly be careful about who they invite.

Free society.... bah! A little dictatorial policies never hurn anyone! Dear admins: strike with the power that you have been given! Ban everyone you dont like! I support you.

Couldn't fucking agree more.
