Do you feel insulted by rule-breaking "contributor" giveaways?

I don't stress myself over these things.

I ignore them. If I don't like what I see, I move on. If I have reason to believe it's a fake or a scam, I report them. I don't lose sleep over things like these.

"Calling people out" means posting a comment on the giveaway accusing them of breaking the rules. That is not allowed. It's perfectly fine to use the report button to flag the giveaway if you think it's an individual key from a bundle.

It does kind of amuse/annoy me when I see things that are most likely from a bundle being given away as contrib giveaways. But I don't actually DO anything about it.

Free games , why to bitch about it ?

it's annoying how those people get into high amount contributor giveaways and getting like 200$+ value by spending like 1$..

Only thing that annoys me is those rulebreakers entering contributor giveaways of fairly large contribution amounts when in reality they have contributed a much smaller amount. I usually just report the giveaways and move on unless the user has submitted a lot of bundle keys, in which case I report the user to support.

I'm reporting some of them and become angry because this contributor thing is becomes toothless.

I dont really go overboard with i just reprt and continue with my day

It bothers me mainly because they become capable of entering higher contributor giveaways when they didn't actually deserve it.

I report and sometimes rant on chat about how my life is soon going to turn to God Bless America.

Meh...

That topic again :/

It does bother me, because I find it unfair to those users who follow the rules. I usually report them, but there are sooooo many that I grow really really tired. :/
Also, reporting a rule breaker on this site (or on Steamtrades, for that matter, with the exception of scammers) does not really seem to accomplish much. I get the impression the mods don't really care that much to be honest.

I prefer people giving away bundle keys a million times to those just leeching (even if they could afford buying them).

I usually report those giveaways. If I see a pattern, I make a support ticket about the probable infractor.

Bundle or not, a lot of the bundles have repeat keys. Everyone has a chance to buy the bundles. There is no scam going on. One bundle game won on this site wont cripple the bundles, as well as the probability the winner would have bought the bundle over one game. Report the giveaway if you care. Don't call them out or make a thread to feel like some internet hero or crusader. For every reported giveaway I see, I see 1000 entries...

Game with no use + giveaway site = useful game.

As a person who was ignorant, and did give away bundle games (To which, I am trying to make up for), it does annoy me. Ignorance isn't really an excuse, and often times absolutely is not ignorance. I'm usually very insulted if they've been on steamgifts for more than 2 months, and/or if they've entered more than 200 entries. Chances are, after 200 or so entries, you've seen a lot of "This is not allowed! Bundle giveaways are not permitted!" comments in first couple comments of a lot of your entries.

Very insulted

If someone like this wins one of your giveaways, ask for a reroll. Their contributor value doesn't mean squat if giveaway creators police their winners.

We honor rerolls if the user has bundle key giveaways. We expect to have a new way to handle bundles soon when the admin is available. As of now, there are hundreds of giveaways every few hours and it's getting to be very difficult to keep up. We suspend those that have truly exploited the system, e.g. someone submits 10 bundle keys in a day, instead of focusing on every single giveaway, which is very time consuming. I understand the frustration here, believe me, I've been dealing with it for months, but things should be changing soon in a big way.

I've reported over 100 users directly to support forums either for multiple offenses of individual key giveaways or for boosting (private giveaway with 2 entries (or 1 if they're ignorant of how it works)). Out of all those what pisses me off the most is when a user is clearly submitting bundle keys yet they have some lie about every giveaway about how it's legit. I saw one user (not mentioning names) submit a giveaway for the iTunes support DLC for Beat Hazard and said he BOUGHT it on another site. You can ONLY buy that DLC ON Steam or through the old Bemine when it was active. It isn't for sale on any other website (that I've been able to find, at any rate, and I did check all the big websites as well as google searching). It also pisses me off when they use bundle keys to promote something.

Anytime I look through the giveaway list searching for prey, I end up checking those once bundled games and report them.

Yeah, it kinda insults me too. It's not a legitimate contribution to the site, yet you're forcing me to contribute to enter anyway? Yeah... no. That's report time. I can't count how many things I've reported now. It honestly pisses me off to see people getting into (and winning) and contributor giveaways when all they've gifted are individual bundle keys (I've seen some $100+ contributor giveaways go to people with lots of bundle stuff. Great, eh?).

The site started getting flooded with keys immediately after the contributor giveaways were added, so it's very obvious they're just trying to cheat their way into contributor giveaways and not just an honest mistake anymore. Mistakes/misunderstandings don't piss me off. People cheating their way into a contributor status do.

I tend not to worry about it too much. I generally give people the benefit of the doubt and assume they're trying to be generous and just don't realize they're breaking the rules. I'm sure I'm often wrong about that, but whatever.

The one thing I've seen a few times lately that's really pissed me off is people submitting The Ironclad Collection as one of the individual games in the bundle, because it strikes me as a pretty blatant way of trying to get around the fact that the collection was devalued to 1 point in an effort to get more contributor status.

I stopped reporting because there's just way too many. Instead, my giveaways now have a rule if 75% of the winners giveaways are single games from indie bundles, I get it rerolled. Only had to do that once.
