Lots of fake giveaways around

Boy, that escalated quickly.

I didn't lie, I promised that game and I sent it. The guy that received it was grateful. I don't want to screw with anyone.

And if you wright a comment, that the giveaway is fake, you'll get ban. NOT the one, who creates the fake giveaway, but YOU get banned!

And this guy i like most of all. He created 2 fake giveaways, and after they was deleted, he created one more. All this time his steam nickname was "Gift me dark souls 2".

Crap, and I've been looking up all this time! ;)

Well to be fair I once did have a game fall from the sky and hit me on the back of the head. Wasn't bad, it was Dawn of War. Did make my head bleed a little.

Games don't fall from sky silly, they 'down' from internet

what is realy strange to me ist the fact, that not all fake GAs are created by new users. some of them are registrated for over a year and have participated in some GAs and then, out of nowhere they create a double or tripple GA of a new, expensive game thet they don´t own for themself..... sure.

people actually think that? Sometimes I forget about people on the internet....

I guess this might be the reason for many cases.

The most funny thing in that is, that you are right. But, they don't even read! "Create Giveaway". "GIVE AWAY". You don't have to think too much D:!! But yeah, probably most of them are like you said :)

No they don't

u have a lot of bad luck with reddit...

oh so they are everywhere :/

that just means less people can join up. It doesn't guarantee the percentage of clueless people that create fake/false/incorrect giveaways within that smaller group is going to change.

.... internet logic....? More money spent = how smart a person is.....

Whodu thunk it? I learnt sumting nu 2day

that minimum isn't for idiots, its for people who would just create many accounts just to win

Sign up limit is bad because... the fuck, nearly everything is on the bundle/exploited list by now.

If there's room for any sort of limitation, then it should be the ability to create giveaways be bound to your steam account counting more than (lets say) 35 games or at least a not so humble bolt red hint making things clear if that criteria is not met.

I might be going against the trend here, but personally I feel the restrictions we have in place already (steam account worth etc..) are enough. I'd rather loose a few giveaway points here and there on erroneous giveaways, instead of making the registration process really tough and putting people off.

Maybe a slight adjustment could be made to the Create a Giveaway form, asking the user what form the gift takes, without it actually affecting anything. This might allow skim readers more of a chance to realise they're giving away a game. Mocked up demo here

Also, welcome to SteamGifts oujisan2236 & thanks for the giveaway, a friend recommended Ace of Spades a few months back - so count me in :D

make it a 1000$

Also need a loud sound alarm with that words.

quiz made from the SG rulez :P?

Take a deeper look maybe ;)

If it's fake you get points back.
