1:1 ratios are impossible to maintain for a group. Single member making some good giveaways and then leaving could mean that ratios can never be corrected. Or it has to be at expense of some other members.
As such some sort of inflationary component is required...

Very much this. It is nearly impossible for everyone to keep that ratio, Given that, it makes sense that no one would want to enter GAs for games they didn't really want.
Also, that spreadsheet shows someone getting kicked and (encouraged to be) blacklisted for having 31:32 ratio. WTF. That's not what a leech looks like.

Join a better group and forget about it.
It sounds "easier said than done", but it's really not. Tons of groups, tons of people, and not worth making a thread about (imho).
Aside: I really dislike the word "leech" in the given context. I wish people would stop using it.

Don't worry about one group, and the "friends" you believe you "lost" .
A drop in the ocean my friend :D

You are free now, from such a stressful group experience. I'd consider that good news.

I know its hard to get many entries in 1:1 ratio group, but is it really that hard to have at least 1 entry?
Im also a member in that group (pretty new) But luckily I havent experienced the same problem as you.

Im not saying this to piss you off now but I checked a few of he GAs you made for the group.
There are about 50 users in the group. About half of the group already owned them. I think 0 users had your games on their wishlist. The games I saw were 1-2 dollar games in steam store that had mixed to negative review. That kind of games that they usually give away on mass gleam giveaways.
If you are going to survive in pretty much any group. Especially if its 1:1 ratio, you have to do better then that. :)

I didnt say others do better, just shared my thoughts of that there should be better quality to survive in a 1:1 ratio group. Im not saying I only make GAs for AAA games but when I do group only I try to find games that will get at least 1-5 entries.
I only enter gibs that meat a certain criteria and always try to have +5 gift difference and 50$+ value in my groups.

I'm late to the party but I am in this group and I personally haven't hit any brick walls however I can totally see where the issue comes in hand. This is one reason I try not to enter very many giveaways in the group although I sometimes accidentally enter a few when I don't check which group it's from and sometimes I'll enter if I really want something. I saw someone say 31:32 ratio was labelled a leecher. That is pretty drastic. I do feel maybe some things should be fixed for sure. Thinking on this and how maybe some suggestions could help fix the group. I'm bad at talking so I'll probably never actually get anyone to change anything but still a thought.

If you are a leecher, then I guess I have a leecher on my whitelist!
