If I win a game, is that game automatically linked to my account, or can i give it to one of my friends?

I couldn't find this info in FAQ so i'm asking here

It is in the FAQ. You MUST redeem it immediately. You cannot give it away or trade it away. If you don't redeem it, you will be banned from Steam Gifts.

How long should we wait for reporting someone for not activating a game? And then how do we report them? Someone who won one of my games 3 or so days ago still has it in his inventory.

From the end of the giveaway, it's 7 days for both giving and activating (not 7 days for each).

You cannot gift it to your friends apparently you didn't read the FAQ too well.

But if you add it to your library, as you're supposed to if you win (as Memoir noted, it's in the FAQ), you can't give it away, it's tied to your account (also explained in the FAQ).

True, if it's not put into your library, you could give it away again, but as you also said, it breaks SteamGifts rules. jbwyatt1 did say "add it to your library first" though, so I wanted to point out that if you do that, you can't then gift the game.

It's not automatic, but the rules do say that you need to add it to your own library. You aren't allowed to regift the games you win here. If you want your friend to have the game, tell them to join this site and enter the giveaway themself.

I forwarded half of my won games to Zombie's account because he's my alt acc. That way i'm pretty sure i didn't break any SG rules

You shouldn't be pretty sure, because you did. Read the FAQ again.

It's not me who should do anything if someone doesn't follow the site rules, but the mods.
The only thing I can do is not giving you the gift in case you won a giveaway I created (unlikely since from your account it seems that you more than probably have any game I could gift anyway), or simply avoid making any more. Not much.

Still, unless I'm misreading something in the rules, the behaviour you describe is against them, and should be dealt with if it is true you do it and the rules are applied to each member in equal conditions. Again, only the mods can be sure of both, so that's not my war.

Bullshit, you can definitely give your won games to someone else, BUT you can't giveaway the won game on this site or anywhere else. Give it your friend privately, I've seen many of my pals from this site do it, yet they are still safe.

I love how so many people have total disreguard for other people. The joys of the internet and youth these days. Just because some inconsiderate people gift won games (which is wrong both morally and by SG rules) doesn't mean everyone has to do it.. Talk about Sheep syndrome. Several people line up and walk off a cliff for the lolz.. You going to join in too? If you don't want the game, don't bid.. Simple as that.. Have some bloody consideration for others and bid on games you actually want yourself to play. Friends want games? then they should be on SG and bid too. Don't win? tough luck.. try again next time.

Well at least you made an attempt at reading the FAQ, can't say that for most people.
