so recently ive gone on a man hunt to find people breaking rules, and just in the last hour ive found and reported like 5 people who have been winning games and not activating their games or retrading them

the last one i found really pee'd me off....
he has won almost 25 games, and people are still sending him his wins even though about 6 or 7 of his giveaways have not been activated on his steam account!!!!!!!!!!!!@!@!@!!!

seriously? would you say he deserves his wins? does anyone deserve their wins when they break the rules?????

please for the love of all the greek gods.... start inspecting your winners before you send them free games!

im begging every one of you to just take 1 minute out of your time to make sure the person getting your game absolutely deserves it!

i think ill spend most of my day inspecting every user i can find on this site..... it just breaks my heart to think someone lost a giveaway that deserved it more then the person who won it that might not even activate some of their wins.......

EDIT im actually proud to see many of you have checked your winners just for funzies and found rule breakers, thats great news and im at least happy to see some light is shining on the issue ^__^

EDIT2 lots of you have found rule breakers in your very own giveaways, thats rather saddening but im glad they were found... this is why we cant have nice things, people who dont follow rules at least some riffraff is getting caught lol

EDIT3 why cant cg just make it so after you win a game, if it doesnt appear in your sync list within a week when you get auto synced.... that the system bans you instantly? this would solve this sites problem of pirating wins and not activating them v__v cant be that hard to make it so that your wins must match your sync...

Two wins of crazy machines 1.5 2 months ago, seriously? And a few more double wins. I kinda expected your profile will be perfect. So, did you already got suspension for that?

yea whats up with that? i usually think to myself that anyone with 50+ wins is usually legit, but this guy has changed my mind

There is nothing wrong with that. It is possible to win 2 of the same games within short period of time - it's just derpy luck especially during bundle games storm. As long he requested re-roll on one of them there is no cause for alarm here.

I have not activated my Fortix key yet, but that's because I can't access my Steam client atm. My laptop's on the fritz, and I don't have a lot of internet access where I am. I still plan on activating the game, I'm just unable to do so at this moment.

Dude, chill. You have a week to activate it.

You can probably also let support know so that they don't ban you if you are still having legitimate issues once your week is up.

OK, finally got the game activated. I'll be sure to fulfill the obligatory "Win a Fortix, gift a Fortix" rule as soon as I can. I want to make it a bit interesting...

I don't get why people are making fun of OP... :(
It's a valid point he's making after all

He's got a valid point, sure. He's also being kind of pretentious by making a topic about it.

Just report the people and move on with your life, y'all. You don't have to make a topic about how super cool and good you are for helping the site out.

He did get me to check my last giveaway and discover it's been regifted, so I think it was worthwhile.

Thanks for the urging. I just went to check the winner of my last giveaway, and turned out he immediately regifted it via a private giveaway. Reported.

Edit: And support handled it really quickly. Thanks, Kaitlyn.

Guys, remember that there are some games that are buggy-ish and won't show up on your profile... i've purchased A Game of Dwarves months ago, and i still had to filter it with SG+ because it won't show up in my game list :( luckily it was my own purchase and not a giveaway, else i could have some trouble with SG...

Thus far, everyone who has won one of my giveaways has activated their game immediately (thank God). Of course, other people who win the giveaways I enter may or may not activate their won games, but I just report them after a week.

I already know one of my winners never activated the game I gave them, I'm still not happy about that.

Well, most people I gave the games to have it where it should be. Can't check for dlcs. Although one guy who won Dota2 doesn't have it in their list. I don't know if Dota even appears in the list if they haven't played it. And the other person has a private profile. But meh...its Dota. I don't really care since they are everywhere nowadays.

Some DLCs show up. Like the expansions for Borderlands.

Pretty sure DOTA is one which only shows up if it's been played.

I know you said it just takes 1 minute, but that adds up - since I've done 9 giveaways it would take me 9 minutes to check them all. And in 9 minutes I can do something very important - like take a short nap.

why risk giving your game to someone who doesnt deserve it? does that make you feel good?

I think winners of half of my public giveaways did not activate/traded their wins.

if that is true that would be really sad. :(
This is one of the reasons I make only contributor giveaways, If I make any public ones.
(you will notice more comments and the people who are entering acting according to the rules more likely if they win.)

After reading this thread I discovered that the guy who won my Men of War DLC giveaway had already won it before, LOL!

I will check my winners then. I'll be back with results.

EDIT:
Games not activated: 3
Regifts: 1

Well, I'm surprised. Time to report.
One user was not online for 6 months now, but I think I still need to report him. In case he would come back to this site.

I gifted over steam and checked whether the winner activated it. Worked for me, though I haven't done many giveaways, only 1 so far.

I always activate my games, even though I've only won 5 out of 2,535, and 2 of them were 10k giveaways.

Thanks, barely checked my 8 first giveaways and already found an asshole.

Mods might have some work once I've checked them all :/

Edit: Checked all (excluding high CV/group/private ones) and I reported 4 people :(

Also they have been destroyed by our awesome team of moderators! Fast support for the win ^^

Still gonna check some of my higher CV's and group ones. I do regret doing so many giveaways, takes ages to check them all but after seeing regifters and people who didn't activate loads of things it seems its worth it :p
