Look at the list of open giveaways. Not a small percentage of them are from bundles -- usually either very recent ones, or even those currently on sale. Okay, so their creators might be just ignorant of the rules, or they might be stupid, whatever. But when I see someone posting something that obviously breaks the site rules (and more seriously, it often breaks the Terms of Service of the respective bundle as well), and making it a "contributor" giveaway, I seriously take that as an insult. It can be viewed as a statement "I have contributed and some of you haven't". I see it as hypocritical elitism.
rant over

Your thoughts? Do you report them, or are you getting too tired to care? Do you comment on them, or do you consider that "calling people out" (by the way, what exactly is meant by that phrase)? Does it affect how you create your own giveaways? Do you add their creators to your personal blacklists?

If I understand, you are mad because people that contributed get better games that those who didn't, correct me if I'm wrong, but be happy with what these people give to complete strangers

You're wrong. The OP isn't complaining about contributor giveaways, or legitimate contributors. He's talking about people who are breaking the rules by submitting individual bundle keys who also have the audacity to put a contributor requirement on those giveaways.

I used to report a lot and I've seen actions taken against rule breakers. However, there are so many rule breakers that some of them can slip through. I tend to ignore them nowadays. Moderators are doing the best they can. Don't forget that they do this in their free time.

Blacklists are generally disliked by me but I am afraid I will have to create one sooner or later.
