Double space after a line for line breaks, or use something like Paste Bin or whatever that text site was called.

Also, claiming they will get banned is little better, since that is scare tactics for something that isn't true. It sucks that you didn't get a game, but that doesn't result in a ban.

Let me guess. It results in a suspension for 2 days. Am I right?

No, it results in a not received on your profile and pretty much nothing else. Especially not after a first offence unless the gifter is clearly trolling.

"have it in my labolatory 10:59:32" :o

However, You can just mark the gift as unreceived after 7 days, that's all you can do for now...

OP doesn't realize the guy actually does have a copy of Half-Life 2 in his laboratory.

He could just take the 'not received' mark on SG. Trying to frighten him with a ban to get a game you want/won just isn't right since he won't be banned for it.

To be fair, 'sfar as I know Steamgifts doesn't give you a guide on how to properly gift things before you actually go to the "make a gift" window. It would probably help a lot of users, both gifters and giftees, if there was a proper guide. Up until recently, I didn't know how to redeem stuff or gift things on Steam, simply because I never looked into it. Some Steamgift members probably think about wanting to make a giveaway here, and create one without being aware of how it really works, which create situations like this that could be avoided were more information provided.

This is the my attitude to most things. When I give job interviews to people I hope the interview goes really well or it goes really poorly. If it goes really well then I have a new employee that I like. If it goes really poorly I have a nice story to tell people. If the person is just mediocre I won't hire them and there's no story. That makes me sad.

What? The dude broke the rules, blatantly, I was pretty disappointed and you imply that I might be calling out? Perhaps I should receive a ban? How twisted that would be....

Well, it does happen. Calling out is calling out. And besides, like I pointed out about, you tried scare tactics to get a game by telling them they would get banned for not giving the games. Don't act like you are pure and can do no wrong.

You're breaking the rules. That other dude was too, but that's irrelevant.

steamgifts isnt that harsh, but you were.
He obviusly made a mistake and instead of talking this out you were pushing him to give you your game and saying youll ban him.
Be happy he tried to give anything away, you shouldnt be so harsh on such a stupid mistake.
