I thought the mods indicated they did not approve of this even in private giveaways. They indicated that we should report anyone doing this even privately or in group giveaways.
Regarding your preference for sausages, I think your charity work is totally awesome and more than compensates for a slight brain fart concerning this :)

edit: So it seems it's not allowed in any giveaways including group and private ones too...

exor125 has only been here for 2 days so there's at least an ignorance argument there.
Freaky, you have been here for 5 MONTHS. You absolutely deserve a suspension because this has come up MULTIPLE times, has been reiterated CONSTANTLY for the Humble Bundle and Indie Royales. There is simply no excuse for you posting those gifts. Especially given your first gift was a potentially exploited multiplayer MM key.

The first thing I do when joining a site like this is to read the rules / FAQs. When rules like this are as plain as they are on this site, even "only 2 days" isn't much of an excuse.
That said, not everyone reads the forums, and unless things have changed very recently (or I missed something), there isn't any obvious mention of the rules elsewhere....

"Oh Sorry. Murdering people wasn't against the law when I was born. I'm sure you can turn a blind eye on it this time." Not. An. Excuse.
You're gonna be suspended. Case closed.

The rules sticky is very clear on this policy
http://www.steamgifts.com/forum/91wob/faq-and-guidelines
Humble Bundles:
Do not publicly submit Humble Bundles or games from them while they are being sold.
When you submit a Humble Bundle, it is only acceptable to have an unactivated gift URL to provide to the winner. Members giving away Steam keys and the like will be warned, have their giveaways removed, and if they continue, may result in a suspension.
These rules also apply to additional keys within the Humble Bundle. Please do not giveaway separate keys, such as SpaceChem, or create a giveaway for the leftover Desura keys. Unused URLs for the original Humble only, please.IndieRoyale Bundles:

Yes, it is clearly laid out (as I said in my post). But it's clearly laid out in the forums, and not anywhere else (as far as I could tell.)
My point is that not everyone reads forums. They expect the rules to be easy to find - such as a link in the main nav, or on the submission page.

This is stupid, it's not a charity. It's you buying a pack of games but whatever.

I was told multiple times that private giveaways will remain unmonitored, even if the group giveaways are altered.
Given that many people likely posted with this information, I find that this is rather harsh.
At any rate, this is a pretty crappy bundle.

My god people are stupid.
How do people think that's it's okay to do?
It seemed like common sense to me.
We will see lots of giveaways anyways because
1)A lot of people don't use the forums ( I didn't for awhile )
2)People will do it anyways
3)They just aren't that bright

But i don't think the Indieroyale ones do anything to charity :>

Since we always seem to have to repeat this every single damn time. Let's reiterate
DO NOT GIFT SINGLE KEYS OUT OF THE INDIE ROYALE
ONLY GIFT UNUSED INDIE ROYALE URLs
Thank you for your time.
For everyone else not reading this, enjoy you bans.
