I wouldn't say I am really active in the forums. I am only really active when I am giving away a game. Just too busy working, gaming, browsing Imgur, etc. Nevertheless, I wouldn't mind being part of this group. You can check my bonafides and see I qualify. Created a lot of GAs last month and as I write this I've purchased a couple of copies of Wasteland 2, one of which I will be giving away! I'm MuthaFukinCrazy!

I've done 122 comments in four months... I think do 878 comments in two days it's too much for me xD
I want to join your group but maybe it's better to do it in the next recruitment =)

Just add a "+1" to every comment in a thread over 1000 replies and noone will notice. :)

I have to say its a strange requirement from my point of view. Encouraging spamlike behavior on the forums. Quality > quantity imo. What is the purpose of this req anyway? You'll be excluding a lot of potential great members for no rational reason as I see it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Think of it as mid-long term measure of, hmm, interaction with other members of community. Community is the code word here, at least as I see it. It's not another giveaway group, more like a place for like-minded people that would not have met otherwise. Rules try to cover that and at the same time leave no place for personal likes and dislikes.

we are not encouraging 'spam' as you say.
Here is what I posted to another person ... if i can find it...

Funk:
Maybe this group should be renamed to spammers inc."Thank you for sharing", "Thank you for sharing", "Thank you for sharing", "Thank you for sharing", "Thank you for sharing", "Thank you for sharing", "Thank you forsharing", "Thank you for sharing", "Thank you for sharing", "Thank you for sharing", "Thank you for sharing","Thank you for sharing", "Thank you for sharing", "Thank you for sharing", "Thank you for sharing","Thank you for sharing", "Thank you for sharing", "Thank you for sharing", "Thank you for sharing","Thank you for sharing", "Thank you for sharing"
Dkny:
I passed your comment because it is a little bit passive aggressive but I don't want to be rude and leave it without a reply. Spamming thank you is not the same as being active on forum and talking to other people. Both Rachel and I are lurking on forum daily and it is not hard to spot regulars there.
I already mentioned in a different comment that I believe that spending time on forum or commenting in general may sound like a waste of time but this is what makes us a community.
It is hard to explain what being "active on forum" means so we put a certain number of comments as entry requirement. Obviously some of them will be meaningless "thank you" comments.

Going off of what dkny has stated, spamming "thank you" is not what characterizes this group. As a community member, you have a voice, and that voice is much more useful for verbalizing your opinions instead of saying "thank you for sharing." Of course, you are more than welcome to say that repeatedly, but what dkny and I mean by community is that you are engaging in useful conversations and dialogue with others. I make threads on the deals page, for example. People comment on their opinions on the bundle. Sometimes they will add a small "thank you" at the end of their message after expressing their opinion. Sometimes people respond to other's comments, offer suggestions, or make jokes. Sometimes there are flame wars and arguments and misunderstandings and debates. This is still considered being active, does it not?
Additionally, what is wrong with saying thank you? You SHOULD be thanking people for making give aways. Sure, maybe you don't say thank you to everyone, but out of courtesy, it's best if you do. Dkny and I see that as an important part of being a community member. You don't HAVE to thank, but if you do, it shows your appreciation for that person. If you don't believe in saying thank you, well, I won't judge you for that. We all have different ways of expressing ourselves. Keep in mind though, some people actually DO want you to say thank you. It lets them know that you have read their GA description if they do ask for a response. Otherwise, they may black list you in the future.
I am not trying to be rude here, and as dkny said, we initially skipped your comment because we didn't see it as very productive towards our goals nor towards the community, but now I think it's a good idea we respond to your inquiry in case others have the same question.
We are not encouraging users to be spamming people. We encourage them to express themselves and let their voices be heard. Forums are open conversations, and we want people to not feel as if their opinions are being oppressed by some entity that tells them that they must fear having their voices heard. Saying thank you is a powerful thing, and so is participating in conversations and posting your ideas about something.
I'm glad you took the initiative to express your opinion above, as it allows me and the community to question our reasons for commenting.
I hope you have a great day and find some personal empowerment :)
Community participation is quality commenting, not "useless spam"
Comment has been collapsed.
At this point the OP is just arguing for the sake of it. No solutions offered. They are looking for members who at least participate. If their level of participation is simply thanking the GA creator who are you disregard that as spam? Who are you to judge what is a "quality" comment?
Comment has been collapsed.
oh honey ... I don't know if you are either agreeing with me or telling me to get off my high horse T_T lol.
Comment has been collapsed.
Haha! I can see how that's confusing because I was a bit confused. I am agreeing with you and speaking to Funk and those asking for quality over quantity but if you are on a high horse Rachel you need to get off. That dude is soooo wasted!
Comment has been collapsed.
Haha omg thanks for the clarification. <3 I felt bad because i thought you were telling me to stop being so bigheaded >_<
lol I definitely am not on the high horse XD he's just ... wow.
And seeing as this question has been asked like 5 times in this thread ._. ... sigh.
Comment has been collapsed.
Sorry about the confusion. I don't understand the hate towards people saying "thanks". It seems like some GA creators want entrants to write an essay kissing their rear instead of a simple thank you. Geez, we are just giving away games here not the cure for cancer.
Comment has been collapsed.
Agreed! I always say thanks ... but some users don't like the idea of feeling obligated to say thank you for what they enter :/ I usually try to include a message in all of my GAs, but hey, if the entrant doesn't want to read what i put, they are missing out :/

I'd love an invite if possible. Think I meet the req's.

I am a bundle addict, though I'm trying to tone it down.
I don't tend to enter group giveaways often (due to guilt/backlog) but I hope that doesn't rule me out. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I seem to have 1:15 ratio but since im an one week l2 rookie, according to ur rules im out. Maybe i should copy "thx" all the ga's i attended, even i didn't too. Btw i d like to reach higher levels, only God knows when l5 i ll be, but i guess i ll still lose the chance coz of my lack of comments. I have never been a talkative in public, so i ll remain same here probably. Too bad u re excluding introvert, less talker nerds :p
I wish u a happy community. Dont forget the share the love!
Comment has been collapsed.
All you have to do to get the comments is socialize a bit on the forums. How'd you find SteamGifts?
Comment has been collapsed.
we do not discourage introverts, my friend. We are just looking for people who actively participate in the community! even a little comment here and there helps every bit. And since you are quite new to the site, don't expect yourself to have commented a lot already!
I am very introverted myself, so there is no shame there :) introvert or extrovert, we value people for who they are and what they do!
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm an introvert, to the extreme! I found that its easy to socialize behind a screen! I mean after 2 months I have almost 3000 comments. If you met me in person we probably wouldn't have much conversation! Don't be afraid to talk here. They are all lovely people (most of them I mean), so you will find your place among us introverts :D

Join the club! Just search the forums and leave random replies to people! You get to know people that way and people might enjoy what you have said and you could get whitelisted in the process! Its worth coming out your shell for!
I'll give you a knife so you can start the stab spams also (Thats what I'm known for being sadistic and all xD)
Comment has been collapsed.
thx, u sound convincing but approaching wrong way! if i used knife, id first stab myself and then.. boom! would like to throw molotov flowers of banksy instead.
just tell me how to make links attached like u did, later i may think increasing my current 100 to 1000 (within 5 years)...

No problem! I'm glad, I enjoy people being more active on the forums! :D You have to get over that, you must only murder :)

Bundle Addicts Anonymous (BAA)
Rachellove, KTS and I decided to create a small group for people who are as addicted to bundles, deals, gifting games, making friends, and the SG community as much as we are.
What is BAA?
This is not a ratio-based giveaway group, nor do we focus solely on giving away games. Initially, when we formed this group, we aimed to unite kind-hearted, generous SG members to share giveaways with. However, it has since grown into a friendly gathering of users who feel comfortable chatting, playing games, and sharing thoughts and opinions openly with each other.
Over time, we have adjusted our old rules to accommodate the needs of the group and to incorporate the helpful suggestions of our members.
We strive to build a tight-knit community of people who give much more than they take or receive, enjoy talking to other members, and love the SteamGifts community in general. Most importantly, we expect all members to be active within our group.
Why BAA?
This is, in essence, a smaller community within the greater SG community comprised of individuals with a variety of unique personalities and backgrounds – so all introverts and extroverts are welcome!
We take all of our members very seriously and expect them to follow all rules, including maintaining a real CV ratio and respecting all members of the group.
However, we are also a fun-loving group of people who realize that SG and friendships are more than giving away games – it’s about finding people to connect with, play games with, talk to, and forge lasting relationships with.
When joining, please consider YOUR reasons for joining this group, as we do not accept those who want to use this group as a +1 or to simply give and win games. We take a holistic approach to selecting members, taking into consideration people’s contributions to SG, their personalities and unique attributes, and whether or not they mesh well with our values.
How and When can you join BAA?
Please ensure that you meet all entry requirements listed in the section below and post all necessary information, along with an explanation as to why you would like to join. We will review your application when we begin to accept new members and spots become available.
Member limit: around 100
Entry requirements:
Level 5+
$1 won : $2 sent in Real CV value, not the quantity on your SG profile.
1000+ comments and continuously active on forum.
At least 30% of your GAs have to be public or “invite only” forum GAs (not just giveaways for private groups or all region-restricted GAs).
No multiple wins or unactivated games.
Once you join:
If you want to join us, please let us know in comments below by posting # of comments, your Real CV ratio, any relevant information as stated in the Entry Requirements section above, and why you would like to join BAA. We’ll send you an invite once spots are open again if you are accepted!
