As long as the bots continue to give away hundreds of dollars worth of games I'd prefer them to many humans.

Just look at all of those bots here:

OK

Wait...so commenting ups some kind of ratio? What ratio? What do comments do? This one giveaway I saw some dude say 10 thanks all in a row, and wondered why..I thought he may have just had a bad internet connection.

Thanks for making this thread so I can post an useless comment and improve my entry/comment ratio.

You tried giving something away with 0 entries and 16 comments. Why think whoever comments is a bot? You are giving something away, being GENEROUS. They're thanking you but didn't enter.

Cry, cry, cccrrrryyy.

thanks!

Thanks for Bad Rats

Thanks for Skyrim

I've said thanks plenty of times and then later removed my entry for points for a different game that I had a better chance at winning

So...there's no giveaway.
Thanks for the chance!

Sometimes I say thanks then end up winning the game in another giveaway, so I go back and remove my entry.

After playing Digital: A Love Story, I happen to be a friend of bots.

I wanna be a bot when (if) I grow up.

What is this ratio you speak of???

Giveaways Entered 3,847
Gifts Won 23
Estimated Wins 19.74
Comments 567

"To me people who say thanks just for their stupid ratio deserve the same fate as pedophiles"

....

If I was a bot, just entering every public giveaways which I can. Comments does not affects winning rate as I know.

Thanks not enough!

First off, you're paranoid. I regularly thank people for giveaways I appreciate, even when I don't enter them. It's called being nice. More importantly, you're being unnecessarily rude with no good reason. To top it all off, you're equating a random inconsequential reply on a web page to pedophilia. Congratulations, you're a horrible human being.

It's called being nice.
I sometimes say thanks for giveaways I don't enter when I see that it doesn't have any comments yet but has entries.
Although I haven't taken much time to look at the front page and lots of things get filter out now.

Must be witchcraft, there's no way a bot would do such a thing.

In regards to that last edit: you pretty much went full retard. Normally said phrase is accompanied by "never go full retard", but to be honest i want to see how this keeps going.

I always saw games with no entries but with tons of comments and always wondered why. Even if it is a bot, why?

What's worse than using bots is judging everyone who says "thanks" by your own cynical standards.

You might be a bitter pre-pubescent whiner, with a chip on his shoulder, the magnitude of which would keep Ronald McDonald supplied with wet dreams from now until doomsday, but that doesn't mean everyone else in the world is too.

Thanks for Skyrim.
