Surely SG wouldn't even be a thing if Steam didn't exist?... Just food for thought lol.

You can use the 'logic' you just came up with to 'thin out' ANYONES theory for literally anything.. Debunking what you just said :). You sound butt hurt and young... SG even has steam in it's name smh. It's an extension of Steam, sorry if that offends you lol. Move on, find better things to be angry about.

Can I just say, as I said above - >>>> THIS SITE DOESN'T SUPPORT MY IDEA <<<<
My idea is to purely give away games, no strings, nothing and for >> MY FRIENDS << to partake in giving away too, I can't expect everyone who posts codes in my group to sign up to here. I'm not promo'ing, I just want cool people to enjoy cool games, shoot me.

Everyone supports your idea, you're fine to do as you please, however, going on a website saying "Hey, go to my group and use my service instead of this service I'm on right now!, I'm only here cause it's popular!" is simply, disrespectful af. To make it worse you tell people to share keys in your group ...
It's as if all of a sudden mySpace went on facebook and went "Guys, come to mySpace, we're cool here! Facebook doesn't support our way of doing things though :(, I made a facebook account just to tell you guys to come to mySpace"
Is that the sort of person you respect?
If you end up getting any bans from the actions you take, it's because you break the site rules, which you didn't follow, that's not their fault, it's yours.

It's not about everyone, it's that the site doesn't implement it. Smh, and also, it's not MY service lol. I don't own Steam. I just hand out keys and so do friends/other people in the group. It's not even always keys, it's people gifting or trading, but it's through the group. People can make their own groups if they want idm, doesn't even have to be through mine, I just like sharing and want to encourage other people to do so without going through a long winded process that doesn't even work specifically with the group. But yeah comparing Steam and SG to Myspace and Facebook is dumb. SG wouldn't even exist if Steam didn't, Steam is obviously the superior, it would be more accurate if you said Steam and Origin, then fair enough if I was on Origin tryna advertise Steam in some way (shit example but a more accurate one than yours). SG is not a 'seperate' platform, it's an extension. I figured it would be ok with people who just love games for what they are, which is what I'm after. If I was taking advantage by partaking and not giving back it would be different, but that's not my style. I'm not hurting anyone, and am giving away cool shit to cool people. Have beef? Gtfo.

I didn't know the SG team was required to implement whichever idea you personally thought was better or that made them the bad guys. While I personally love the way SG itself is worked out, because it helps in a lot of areas which would take me too much time to write, I understand that we have different opinions on the matter however I fail to understand how you can support a system where people can steal keys then trade them further, to a system where people get punished for something like that simply because you gotta use the steam auth extension steam itself created. What a hassle for people who want free games, right?
It's not that your idea is bad, it's just one more thing to a website that is already basically perfect in it's system, and it would just interfere with a system of rules set in place and get in the way of tracking the needed information. It allows giveaways based on regions, levels, + other customization such as having a giveaway start a week from now and end a week after not having to worry about it in the meantime, and it tracks all the information to see who leeches, who activates their gifts, and issues suspensions for those who just win a key and just trade it away. You're either asking for SG to split into a system of both rules and no rules, or just completely abandon the rules, and that simply doesn't make sense, in between the 3 anyone should choose rules.
Regarding the one argument you keep insisting on "SG wouldn't exist if Steam didn't exist.". Why does this matter? You're trying to create an excuse for promoting your group that isn't related to the service SG provides on SG while dissing SG in the process for not following your ways while claiming this isn't promotion even though you are linking to your group. This is what I would call "ENTITLED". I'm wondering do you go into other steam groups and post a link to your steam group? For instance if it has 100k users and it was a Steam group would you go make a discussion forum there too? Since they're all the same I assume you already posted on the Valve&Steam facebook pages, their twitter pages, etc. including in basically any indie game forum launched through grenlight because if Steam didn't exist, most of these games wouldn't exist, right?(If I have to consider your comment, then all of these are just extensions of Steam, which in my opinion is not correct, I certain Steam itself would run away at the thought of the Bad Rats forum being called an extension of Steam after all it went through) So why post your stuff here and not in 3000 spots? It's your argument after all.
It's not really as if you can use Origin and Valve since It's not Valve CEO's coming in here saying "Guys were giving away stuff! go to our page, also we don't like the way SG does stuff", so using facebook and mySpace I was trying to give an example of two similar parties, wasn't really pointing out to facebook and mySpace specifically but I suppose it was too ambiguous even though I said "it's like". I meant to say it's you a giveaway group owner, and by all means it doesn't bother me at all and I don't see why it would bother the mods here too. But you're coming to the biggest giveaway website saying this websites way of doing things is wrong and that they don't respect your way, which you have no way of knowing, they just have their way of doing things that has worked for years. Instead, you're suggesting they should join your group where you too, such as other users here, give stuff away and "maybe" make giveaways of their own tin your group.
Also, comparing SG to Steam is wrong, they do different things, Steam is a multi-purpose platform while SG is meant for giveaways. SG doesn't sell games in the first place, and the information it operates on is from Steam. I don't know why you had to claim Steam is bigger than SG, because Steam doesn't have an organized place for giveaways as big as SG does(other than random people posting keys here and there which are taken by bots and no one says even one thanks, or when it goes to a group giveaway, where it's an enclosed space and the giveaway owner picks the winner), and SG has pretty much no other functionally other than helping users with giving/receiving Steam gifts while hopefully you know the extent of Steam.
Compared to you, I have no beef with you, I'm explaining why your practice of promoting your group while dissing on SG makes you look bad. That's not beef, I am nice, so I wont say things like you said to me. However, you can't expect me to agree with you when this is how you display yourself. Thanks.

I'm at work and don't want to write an essay back so key points -
I'm not saying 'my way' is better, 'my way' isn't in that different from theirs, I'm just saying that it's not catered for, so what am I supposed to do? Nothing? Sue me for liking to share. I want one centralised location where ANYONE can post ANY key they want, even in a thread itself, just to get rid of it, instead of going through a loborious process. Which isn't loborious when used for actual give aways groups. But mine ISN'T that.
Great, I get it, SG is perfect. Happy for you lol. It still doesn't specifically do what I need it to do so why should I be scrutinised? I'm not taking anything from here, if anything I'm giving back in the form of more content. I'm not leeching off of people to get free shit, at all. As I keep saying >>>>>> I LIKE SHARING <<<<<.
I never said it was wrong, you keep telling me I'm saying they are wrong, I never said such a thing. Youre deluded and reading what you want to read -_-.
SG is an extension of Steam, you can't have SG without Steam. And I don't use Steam trades, at all, I just give away codes of duplicates that I get, my friends can give away anything they want in any way they want. If they want to go through trades on Steam that's their choice. But I give away codes.
I'm not dissing SG, they initially dissed me when I wasn't hurting anyone and I pointed out that it was pointless. Stop forcing yourself to be butt hurt lol, it's pretty weird.. Go outside for a bit, stop being so bitter, when you stop you'll realise that the whole world isn't against you, and stop reading everything negatively.

What you're supposed to do is NOT advertise your group on unrelated sites. I don't get what's so hard to understand about that. You're free to share keys with your friends, just don't come to other giveaway sites to promote your totally unrelated group.
SG is an extension of Steam, you can't have SG without Steam.
SG is a completely separate website dedicated to giveaways of Steam games. Of course it wouldn't be what it is now if not for Steam, but the same could be said about your group.

This site has clear rules and you choose to break them. What did you expect?

You're allowed to not do giveaways on SG if you're not able to, why would that ever be an issue? Also, you can do group giveaways here which effectively restricts the giveaways to your group while you're allowed to have pretty much any rules or no rules at all within your group so that's not an issue either.
But you expect them to sign up with Steam (you know, one of those third parties that log everything you do..) and if you already have a Steam account anyway, signing up with SG is just a click away..no hassles or jumping through hoops involved.
By posting here you're encouraging hordes of people who may or may not want to give back to join your group, what's the difference?
Again, you expect them to sign up with Steam and that's way harder and far more intrusive than signing up with SG (cause you already did the hard part when you signed up with Steam already). By signing up with SG you're not really sharing any information that isn't already made public by Steam.
Personally I don't really care what you do, I just find your reasoning a bit...curious.

You are free to make a giveaway group and send out keys through steamgifts .. well, steamgifts makes things easier other than people to post ''im in'' on the giveaway thread and you to randomize someone. And i assume you want things to be easier when giving away games and that's the reason website like steamgift exists. Sure if you are not comfortable with steamgifts, you should then make a group and get your friends there ( you have 300 friends so that should be enough) and they invite more , not the way you are approaching here with your own system of giveaway. Since you dont want to use steamgifts itself, you shouldnt post it here as well.
Good Luck.

So, you just signed up here to promote your group?

Oh I'm sorry, maybe I shouldn't give away my dupe codes to ungrateful people. Would be the equivalent of stopping a good thing for the sake of the few miserable people who like to rain on others parade. Am I murdering your child or hurting you in any way? Gtfo.

Get over yourself, I count everyone as cool people but it's quickly dwindling being that I seem to get bombarded with self righteous assholes. I don't just pick who I think is the best or some shit, I don't have time to judge people like that, I literally close my eyes and pick like that, although am doing it through random.com now. But it's not about me giving away codes, it's that my friends can too and they can trade too. Quite a few seems too dumb to understand that I'm not just some random giveaways group, I made it for people who actually enjoy games, and for the sake of sharing, not just me giving away codes at intervals. It's for EVERYONE.

Giving away ma spare code of NBA 2K17, I'll announce the winner on Monday :D, but my group is about sharing, if you have any spare codes you want off of your hands, feel free to post too :).
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/KittyCatsSharingClub
Getting maself banned - I understand that this is steamgifts, but honestly, if people have other ideas and as a result can't functionally give away codes through you, you should allow that. I don't want the hassle of a third party logging errything I do, and also making eeeveryone who wants to post even the most minor code have to sign up with you and do it through here is ridiculous and expecting that of people would kill my group, and the sharing vibe dead. But I want to share the extra codes I have every now and then with cool people. Am just a basic person with a basic group bc I like sharing. I'm not a professional giveaways group and I dont want it to be that. I want my friends to be able to partake in sharing too which they do. It's not just me that shares codes. So gtfo and maybe support groups that don't just encourage hordes of people who don't want to give back, and not share, as opposed to people who just like sharing and want everyone to do so. Steamgifts does not even support my idea bc ANYONE who's not me would have to sign up for this site too and I'm pretty sure they cbf, I also wouldn't ever expect that.
