I can ACTUALLY help you with questions you may have about SteamGifts. (Well, most of them.)

both :-)

you won skyrim and fortrix you have games to play for the rest of your life first is the adventure of your life the other is time eater

It appears that you have won two everlasting games. I suggest you play the games you've already won some more.

This is not an accurate response, as this is an opinionated statement. I suggest you think for yourself.

to much

An impossibly large number.

which tickets? real urgent, or only urgent for you?

Too many, since you deemed your "HALPI'MNOTWINNINGGIBWAYS" support tickets as 'urgent'.

enter some giveaways and don't waste time here

By entering giveaways and getting lucky.

It happens by not asking how to win games.Now you know..

"You're welcome."

Your answer.

Because the majority of bundles prevent this in their ToU (Terms of Use), and also, most people who giveaway Steam keys that come out of bundles only do it to get a larger contributor value.

In most bundles, you get a DRM-free download as well as a Steam key. Giving away the Steam key means you still have the DRM-free download, essentially cheating the developers out of a game.

It's abusing a system that is based on honesty and (sometimes) good will. And of course a great deal of generosity from the people who are making them possible.
Those keys should be for personal use and therefore giving them away can be considered close to piracy.

Concerning the contributor status it is not normal to be able to make a giveaway for Ironclads Collection, initially 50p, when the person paid ~5$ for that key and a few more.

It also spams the giveaway page and makes it harder to find anything else. Not to mention that it "inflates" the points gained.

Lastly it is false generosity used just to get ahead with the contributor status.

We dont hate them anymore since new rules are up.

People used to use buy a pack for a little amount of money, and then sell the keys individually pushing them up on the contributor amounts.

I am unsure of how to answer this comment.

It appears whether you are asking that you can get free things from Steamgifts. The answer is "yes". You must, I will remind you, read the FAQ to fully understand this site.

Create a support ticket and ask for reroll...? :p

The game is a key? Then there's no option for you except for you to ask support to reroll the giveaway - unless the key produces a giftable copy (game goes to your inventory rather than directly to your library).

If it does, then you can activate the key, and send the resulting gift from your inventory to the winner. (This works since Steam allows you to gift Steam-inventory copies through regional limits).

"In your fridge."

Read below. Half of those questions may or may not have been directed to support, requiring the use of a mod or admin's time in order to answer them, when that time may be better used for other, more urgent tasks.

It's a help thread. Please pick a number.

Hence why I linked to the FAQ in the first sentence of my post.

No. I am unsure of what to do in this case. You might considering closing your current support topic about the giveaway being rerolled and reopening it.

You may need to contact a member of support directly for assistance in what to do in this case.

Yes, private giveaways inflate contribution as well, but they require at least 2 entries in order to count towards contributor status.

I would suggest making a new thread in the forums with your concerns, as any further response I make would be opinionated, and therefore, biased.

There some measures taken against some ways of cheating.

Other than that private giveaways are valid and will give you contribution.

"When your body ceases to sustain life."

Wouldn't that be better directed at SteamTrades? If not, then I'll reword that. What's a better example of a stupid question?

They can be banned in different ways. We rarely ever see them. Note how the threads are mostly clean of them? They only show up in support. By diverting them from there, they'll be forced out into the open for people to see. And THEN they get banned.

I'm not positive on the answer, but I believe mods can ban people. I've only seen people suspended, but it's likely that they can ban, or if necessary, suspend for a very, very long time.

"I am unable to answer that at this time."

baby don't hurt me

It depends on how much you want your chances to be improved, spend some time looking at what games you want go for what contributor amounts. But my guess is that the contributor amounts for good games will keep rising.

I cannot answer this question without it being biased due to it asking for my opinion.

In my opinion, do it only if you want to actually give away games. Don't do it if you're doing it just for the contributor value.

I don't understand what you mean.

If you're asking whether you can gift a game from your library, the answer is "NO". You must have a giftable copy or key.

They're too busy to answer stupid questions.

This is more to dissuade the people asking questions like "How shot gun?" or "Should I try getting to $100 contributor points or stick with lower?".

Easily pointless questions. And would you want to see a thread for EVERY single question asked in this topic? It'd be a bit... flooding.
