Welcome to my world: whenever I see a winner's email address end in ".ru", my stomach tightens in a knot. I have no idea why, but the vast majority of the problematic winners I encounter are Russians. (Well, okay, I have a few ideas. None of them are remotely politically correct.)
If the gift was rejected, make a screenshot of it, upload it to somewhere, and send a reroll request to support. The winner obviously doesn't want it (cynical remark: because he probably realised it'd take more effort to sell it…), and if they would have any problem activating it (should not be as ROW games can be activated anywhere as long as the game itself is not banned in a country) they would have responded. Just move on.

Same with me, seems like every other of my low level giveaways is won by someone from russia. And if there is ever a problem with some one of the winners or they're just extreme leechers it's usually one of them. Kinda wish for a way to blacklist whole countries sometimes. I even thought about timing my short giveaways so they favour SA, NA or Asian people ;)

In Greece, we use the word "racist" with a more generic meaning. So, when I say that someone is racist, it means that he thinks that a specific group of people are inferior. Example: He may think that homosexuals are inferior, or Indians are inferior, or Muslims are inferior, or emo people are inferior, etc. I know that you're not supposed to know what I mean when saying this word, because that's only a Greek meaning, but I'm really not gonna learn 1000 more words to describe each kind of racism. xD

You call homophobic people racists? O.o That's weird. People would frequently misunderstand you.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yep, we do. Greek meaning, as I said. So, nobody will misunderstand me in Greece.

I didn't say it in Greek though. :B xD Anyway, you can't see the forest for the trees. Does it matter how I say it? They're all bad people, no matter if they are xenophobic, sexist, racist, etc. I just say it the way I learned it - and this way isn't wrong here. Would I give a f*ck if homophobic people would get offended because I called them racist? Nope, I wouldn't. They're bad people too, so I don't care about how they would feel. xD

Fortunately, that's not correct!
Many people say different things here in our country, even people who didn't go to school to learn basic stuff. It's the land of democracy at its highest and lowest. However, It doesn't mean they are correct or even further that majority ensures the validity of an argument. ;)
The correct word is xenophobia.

Και τα λοιπά. :P
Έχεις δει πολλούς να χρησιμοποιούνε τον όρο ξενοφοβία; Η λέξη ρατσισμός έχει αποκτήσει ευρεία έννοια, είτε είναι λάθος είτε όχι.
Comment has been collapsed.
Δεν είναι ρατσισμός αυτά, η λέξη ρατσισμός έχει πολύ συγκεκριμένη ερμηνεία και στην προκείμενη περίπτωση είναι λάθος. Η λέξη ρατσισμός δεν έχει ευρεία έννοια, απλά χρησιμοποιείται λάθος από ανθρώπους που δεν ξέρουν άλλες λέξεις.
In English: Racism has a specific meaning, it could never mean something else. People do use many words wrongfully because they don't know other words that describe the fact appropriately.

Επειδή μάλλον σε πειράζει που τα γράφω στα ελληνικά, θα σου τα γράψω στα αγγλικά.
I answered about that in your previous comment. Correct or not, we all use this word with multiple meanings. You can't deny that the majority of people here use it like this. If it's correct or incorrect, I shall agree with you, that it's obviously incorrect. But don't tell me that we don't use it like that, because that's totally untrue. xD I even use tones at τού and τής (when needed obviously) or the double tones (for example, προτεραιότητά της), which most Greeks don't even know that they should do. :P
Comment has been collapsed.
But I totally agree with you! As i mentioned earlier as an example, many Greeks use the word "malakas" for everything when they could use 100 other words, mainly because they don't know their existence and/or meaning. :p
Either way it's just pure illiteracy. ;)

Well in this case hating or not trusting people from Russia is not racist,its xenophobia.

Thank you for the English lesson, although that's a Greek word. Still, we prefer to use the word "racist" though for everything. It's easier. XD Anyway, thank you.

Well nobody does that. But, there are people who do use the word "racist" as they practically don't know the meaning of this and other words. They could as well say "malakas" , it would be very possible due to their (lack of basic) knowledge. ;)

Δεν ισχύει; Δε χρησιμοποιούμε δηλαδή την ίδια λέξη για τους ομοφοβικούς, τους σεξιστές, κλπ.; Μη μου λες τι είναι σωστό και τι όχι. Το χρησιμοποιούνε οι περισσότεροι ναι ή όχι; Πού κολλάει το μαλάκας;
Comment has been collapsed.
Λεω, αν είναι να λέμε εύκολες λέξεις αντί για σωστές, ας πούμε και μαλάκας. Αν ξέρεις τη διαφορά γιατι να μη χρησιμοποιείς την σωστή λέξη κι όχι τη λάθος; Με ποιά λογική μια λάθος λέξη με λάθος έννοια είναι "εύκολη";
In English: Why should we use the wrong word when we can easily use the right one?

Είπα ότι είναι εύκολη, βάζοντας και ένα emoticon από δίπλα, για να χαρακτηρίσω τη βλακεία των Ελλήνων. Είναι πιο εύκολο να χρησιμοποιούμε την ίδια λέξη με πολλαπλές έννοιες. Ξέρω τη διαφορά, δεν είμαι αμόρφωτος. Έχω τελειώσει το σχολείο, έχω και πτυχίο. Το θέμα είναι ότι έχει εδραιωθεί αυτός η λέξη στην Ελλάδα να'χει πολλαπλές έννοιες. Το λένε όλοι και το χρησιμοποιώ και εγώ. Είναι λάθος, δε διαφωνώ, αλλά όλοι το κάνουνε. Μάθημα θα κάνουμε τώρα; Είναι γεγονός ότι είναι λάθος η λέξη, αλλά είναι και γεγονός ότι όλοι έτσι τη χρησιμοποιούμε.

Δεν έγραψα κάτι προσωπικό. :\ Αυτό που γράφεις δεν ισχύει, η λέξη ρατσισμός έχει μια και μοναδική έννοια και για το τι έχει εδραιωθεί στην Ελλάδα έχεις μάλλον λανθασμένη εντύπωση. Το πόσοι κάνουν λάθος είναι αδιάφορο, κι όπως λέμε, "Χίλια λάθη δεν κάνουν ένα σωστό"
In english: A thousand wrongdoings still don't make one right. ;)

But I don't disagree. xD But still everyone uses it. It's about the meaning it got. Many Greek words can get a lot of meanings, mostly because we use too much slang here. xD Even in the Greek wikipedia, it has the generic meaning, not the right meaning: https://el.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%A1%CE%B1%CF%84%CF%83%CE%B9%CF%83%CE%BC%CF%8C%CF%82

I beg to disagree. The so-called "modern" meaning of the word racism (racist etc) is due to the low level of our education system and those aphorisms are being manufactured by the even lower level of our journalists and public speakers.
Anyway this goes over the topic's capacity, imho. ;)

the english transation of the word you use is "bigot", which is someone who is prejudiced against a particular group, whether it be race, sexuality, country of origin, etc.
All racists are bigots, but not all bigots are racist.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmmm, that's actually very helpful. Thank you. :) Still, bigots are shit and racists are shit. ^_^
Comment has been collapsed.
well, yes, they're all scum of the earth.
the problem is that almost everyone is at least a little bigoted, even if they're not aware of it themselves.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, if I'll ever become bigoted, I'll gladly accept being hated by everyone and having everyone mock me. :B

I think it might be called russophobic (xenophobia towards people from Russian/something Russian)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah... Um, no. That's not xenophobia. The definition quite clearly says so. Hating or not trusting Russians is just an opinion, or at best, an irrational fear.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, we don't say Russians are inferior. We say that the Russian winners on this site tend to be the problematic ones. For example, right now I'm in a Steam chat with a Russian guy who now desperately tries to clear a permanent suspension for key inactivation because he traded them.
Comment has been collapsed.
Don't worry. I actually thought that you were just doing a joke. I didn't accuse specifically you. And my photo-answer was a joke. But the other guy corrected me, so I had to explain. :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Agreed, also for some reason a lot of Russians seem to be big leechers. I'm sure there's plenty of good users though too.
Comment has been collapsed.
I cannot say there aren't a good number of decent users among them. There are quite a few nice ones among my winners. It's, just, you know, when a large part of a problematic group is made up of one kind of people, it becomes more and more difficult to view the many, many others of those people in favourable light.

Submit a ticket with proof and then threaten the winners families. Hahahaha.

Not really

Support will help you) and google translate is terrible) correct will be:вы выиграли мою раздачу на SG,проверьте свою электронную почту.And yeah,some russians are terrible,but its no even racial attribute.And if its not big problem for you post him profile in my profile comments,maybe ill can help.But of course support will help you pretty much more)
Comment has been collapsed.
The translation is wrong and would look like a message from a bot.
It should be like this:
Привет, вы выиграли игру в раздаче на SteamGifts. Пожалуйста, проверьте свою почту.
If that doesn't help, wait 7 days and submit a support ticket.
Edit: whoops, GGGGGGG was faster x)

Just make all your GAs level 1. It's a very low hurdle (gift a single game) but it weeds out a lot of these problem people
