I think it would encourage people to start giveaways - maybe double the price of the item value? So if you start a giveaway for a $20 item you get 40 points. Just my 2 cents.

That would only increase the spam of fake giveaways I suppose..And I don't think that for people who actually want to contribute points are that much of a concern. The inflow is quite high.

Make running a single fake giveaway bannable and prevent the steamid from ever re-registering, require new accounts to have X number of non-free games on their Steam profile, maybe 30 (I think this might already be a rule? I forget, been a long time since I signed up). Problem solved.

Making fake giveaways is already bannable. Doesn't stop the dumbs.

The answer has always been no in response to this suggestion.

Yeah yeah... i dont like where this is going. I'm fine that people who make giveaways get an extra quantity of points (instead of the usual 10%, perhaps 20% or 25% of the entry value on your giveaway). Fake giveaways would be reported and would lead to a ban, so people abusing this wouldn't win anything at all for being cheap.

The amount of points you earn is actually 5% of the title's value not 10%.

I've never thought this was a good idea, but I finally have a few giveaways of my own now so that people might consider my thoughts differently :P

A lot of fake giveaways make it through the system. Adding more to the list would increase the number that get by the mods. Not to mention that most people who are giving games away don't really need the extra points.

Oh great, I'll just Create a Deus Ex Human Revolution giveaway and get 100 Points!

Which is, too much, so nope

I do think that they should get a slightly increased amount, maybe double the normal amount, but not as much as double the game's value. And yes, this may increase the number of fake giveaways, but that also means that the people posting fake giveaways would be cleared out faster (hopefully).

It could work if the submitter received the points from a giveaway after the gift had been verified as being received.

Why not? Sorry, if I missed the thread, where this was answered, but it seems reasonable to me.
200% is waaaay too much though, but sth between 5% and 10% would be appropriate and of course only for public giveaways.

Create a group with you and another account. Create gifts. Have your alt 'win' and give positive feedback.

Pretty sure Group and Private Giveaways don't generate points for anybody.

I meant just for Public giveaways to generate points. Guess it doesnt matter though as "we've been through all this" before.
