I have been notified that I won a giveaway. I am really happy as this is the first time I won anything. However, I noticed that the persn who is meant to gift me the game is suspended. I want to know if he knows that I won and if he can still gift me.

if he was willing to gift you on the first place...

Anyway, the gifting process is manual, so the gifter even suspended can talk to you to send your game...

There is a possibility that you may receive your game, but chances are this will not end well for you :(

The real question is, can the suspended people see the green banner?

No, they can't. I was suspended like 10 month ago while I had an open giveaway and I couldn't see it. Recently I was accidently suspended again for the same reason because of a mistake in the ban system and I couldn't visit the View Created page, so I guess there's no banner.

He can't see anything accept a page where his bans are listed and the support forum. You can't even look at the FAQ, which is imo a very bad idea, you should at least be able to read the rules while you're suspended. This means that he can't see who won the game. But if he's only suspended and not banned, he might come back in a couple of days and you might receive your gift then.

You can still read the FAQ if you log out.

He can gift but if he's suspended cannot see if you won. Wait till he is unsuspended or add him to Steam to discuss.

I doubt it, as you get redirected to a page that says you've been suspended for xx reason for xx time so they'd have no way of knowing they were supposed to.

You can still add him yourself and let him know... though maybe screenshot it or something so he knows you're not a fraud. I obviously don't know what he got suspended for but I wish the best for you.

Indeed. Gifting will come when it's its time, nor sooner nor later.

Harrassing the gifter is a real ballbag move.

Who said to pester or harass the guy? If I do a giveaway and someone just politely reminds me I don't mind at all. Also I said that particularly because the guy is suspended. If it had been a case of someone just being impatient I would have told them to wait the 7 days. Though to be honest I didn't look into how long ago the giveaway was but if it's the case that the suspension is over 7 days, I don't see what's wrong with just adding he guy and politely asking if he was still willing to do the giveaway.

You should appreciate that you have the chance to even enter the giveaways, let alone win anything on this site. The entire foundation is built off of random generosity and it bothers me that anyone would feel entitled enough to try and rush or force that generosity out of someone.

That's my opinion at least.

+1, it's not really pestering him at all.
