People can create an GA 7AM, but with starting time to 10AM

AFAIK, the GA was created 7 houras ago, but started later, something like 2 hours ago. I may be wrong about it
You can test it when you make your next GA: Schedule it to start in the future, and after the GA start, see if it shows the time it was supposed to start or the time it was created.

Well, if it's how you state it, then I think it is not the clearest marking. Maybe then SteamGifts should add "started at" to better clarify this?

Why?
You come to SG, you browse the giveaways that are visible to you, you enter those you really like. What would be the point of knowing when the giveaway started?
In case you really, really want a game, you can check the archive for giveaways that have been created but did not start yet, although most of these delayed ones aren't public but private ones in preperation of events.

To most people, doesn't matter what time a GA was created, only the ending time. But you can always suggest it to CG

This is a joke and unfortunately I have to state this.

I'm confused. Are you saying my initial post is a joke?

What if 2 hours ago, when I logged in, there was a giveaway created 3 hours ago that was about to expire? I wouldn't be able to get into that giveway.
This is a fundamental truth of being a Steamgifts user: there will be some giveaways that you can't enter. Best to just accept it and appreciate the ones you can enter.

That's just the way it is. If I created 20 GAs right now, but scheduled them to start in 2 hours, they would have the time I created up on them.

the time is the time people make them not the time it starts

I've noticed something strange on SteamGifts. Just today, when I checked steam gifts at 7:30 AM, there was only one giveaway available. However, when I logged in at 10:30 AM, I noticed there were more giveaways. Not weird yet, right?
WRONG!
These giveaways were created 7 hours ago. That's messed up. What if 2 hours ago, when I logged in, there was a giveaway created 3 hours ago that was about to expire? I wouldn't be able to get into that giveway.
Just something to munch on.
