I don't get it. You're excluding people with a particular num_sent or a specific level with some of your sgtool links. Apparently this is aiming at some very specific members. Why don't you just put them on your blacklist?
Anyway have a friendly bump :)

I assumed it was just for fun (?) I mean, changing one's exact level or num_sent is as easy as creating just one more GA ;)

Ah I believe I do understand now. I didn't realize you had parts of the IG-key in the giveaways (Sorry for not reading properly). I thought those were just additional and the drops were posted in the thread here.
It is in fact a very creative way to block single users (while I do believe a temporary blacklist spot would do the same trick while not blocking anyone else by accident).

Yes, the idea of these drops is that they're each linked to SGTools-protected GAs. Part of the key is posted here, the rest is in the GA, sometimes hidden behind some puzzle (that's why the last two took more than 20 minutes to find). The SGTools links allow me to track who entered (and if needed, do some detective work using the log), while the indiegala gift links allow me to "encourage" the person who took the key to say so, otherwise their email address remains visible. It's effective enough that none of the drops remained unclaimed.
Temporary blacklisting is an option, but it blocks these users from joining my other GAs and it sends the wrong message. I need to think about it some more...

We all like key drops, but in most cases the person (or bot) that took the key doesn't say anything, which is a bit annoying. The drops in this thread are different. Each is linked to a GA and only part of the key (typically indiegala link) is visible. To complete the key, you need to go through an SGTools filter and pick up the rest from a comment in the target GA.
Another difference is that every person who gets the key is asked to not take additional keys. This (and the type of rule I'm using) is the reason why every drop so far was taken by a different user, as you can see in the table below. In these drops, you actually have a chance, even if you're not the fastest ninja.
Since each key drop is linked to an SGTools protected giveaway, every user who tries to get the drop is registered in the list of users who got the link. This means that if you took the key, you'd better acknowledge it (I shouldn't even have to tell you this). See additional instructions in each drop.
Finally, to catch key drops, wait until the title of the thread changes to "New round!!!", then go to the last post from me. If you're not quick enough, don't give up. You'll have a better chance next time (the quickest ninjas already got their share).
