Because they never learn.

ban them forever.

The free points are great but it's still frustrating.

It makes no difference when everybody else gets them as well ;)

Free points are the best, just learn to add it to the filter and we're all good.

• Giving away an exploited game (or one which is freely available) will result in your CV being reset to zero.

I think this is a brilliant idea! Look at what it accomplishes.

• Those who want to give the game away regardless of the consequences may still do so.
• Any flood of free games being given away still benefits the community with "free points."
• Those trying to abuse the system to accumulate CV are punished in the most painful fashion.
• The tide of freebies and exploited keys will be lessened due to the consequences.
• SteamGifts will quickly acquire a reputation for being "a cut above" all those other sites which have become dumping grounds.

I think lifetime ban would be perfect for 2nd or 3rd time offense. Discussion is more for fun than anything constructive but you never know who might pass by and read it and actually put an idea into action.

np someone called me retard because i like a game that he doesn't like.
Not even warned.

thats a good idea, negative cv per entry
would vote for that

Funny how this isn't the first suggestion. Says a lot.

YEAHHH

I can't give you a good answer on that. I know the game is eventually removed from the give a way list so it can't be given away. That probably removes the CV the gifter receives. However, it doesn't stop the wave of greed we have to tread thru when free games first hit.

They don't have the staff anyway.

It's one of the first things I do. But why ignore a problem when you can make a change?

Agree

This is far to reasonable. Please, let everyone jump head first so they may use their pitch forks and torches.

I suggest you take this down, there is no calling out policy on SG and posting a link to profile can get you suspended.

watch out for calling ppl on forums. you could get a ban for that.

I just reported one guy who has already given away 4 copies of Racer 8 (free keys) and now 5 copies of Deadbreed (aslo free).
Steamgifts attracts the worst kind of people. Most come here for generosity but some only come cause of greed.

They do serve that purpose pretty well.

That's how I found out that Deadbreed was being given away for free if there was more variety I would just assume it would be due to the fact that a new bundle dropped.

Free games are retrospectively getting a bundle treatment, so one won't get full CV from them above $25.

That is basically what happens now. Free games get added to the exploited/bundle list.

That seems to be ideal to me as well. Didn't cost anything? No points. But feel free to give it away, because maybe someone missed out when it was free (it happens). I don't see a downside.

It's not gifting if they got it for free.
