Thanks bots

My rule can help with that, but it won't work with public giveaways. I've re-rolled those that have said "Thanks."

I usually use the same version of thanks for one day, but change it from day to day. Its been Thanks, tanks, spanks, spanx, cheers, obrigado, danke, many thanks, etc.

Its not about bot saying thanks,its about abusing Level system-bot get lot of contribute while not really sending that gift to other bots

Thanks

I recently made 3 (!) giveaways and wrote in every description that if they want to comment something they have to post a GIF to make me laugh. Only 1/4 of the people that commented did this. The others used their copypaste thank yous.

When I comment on a giveaway I try to post sth original that let's the creator know I mean it, but all those Copy+Paste/Bot guys annoy the shit outta me. Seriously.
I rather want no comments than this fake crap.

Okay, I'm done raging.

Edit after reading the comments: People thank you after they have won? Never happened to me.

If you start banning people for this, they would easily in a day change the program to write a randomly chosen comment from a list of comments or just write no comment at all. They could also set the bot to not enter a giveaway until it has been created for a certain period of time. This time could also be a random time between 2 set values.

There is nothing anyone can do about it unless the person who creates the giveaway requests that everyone who is real does something, but that would take too much work to verify everyone and it would be too much work for about 90% of the people that enter the giveaways considering they probably enter about 40-80 per day and they don't want to waste all that time. And then you have to consider that probably like 80 or 90% of the people that enter giveaways do not read the description of the giveaway.

And on top of all that, does it really matter if someone uses a bot? If they have no intention of giving away any games, then they are not going to give away any games whether they use a bot or not. And if they came here manually and entered giveaways every day, they would probably enter the same ones that the bot is entering them in. So there is no difference other than the people using a bot will not see the description of the giveaway, but then again, they would not read it anyway even if they came here and manually entered each giveaway.

Adding a captcha for each giveaway could solve this, but that would be absolutely ridiculous and probably kill the website because almost nobody would use the site anymore.

I dont know you, so why should i say anything else beside "thanks"?

You make a giveaway, thats good. But i only can say thanks, no other.

This doesn't bother me at all, but if you just want to eliminate thanks spam, you can use this script: http://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/w4I9s/thank-filter-now-updated-for-steamgifts-v2

Why are you saying "thanks" to bots?

ty

Fascist mods?

A reason for everyone to blacklist you. Mods are the oxygen of this website. Don't like it, leave it mate :)

Btw, thanks and thank you for the chance

Why would you care if people use "thank bots?" It does nothing to harm you and setting up the bot requires more effort than the giveaway descriptions you've been writing. Just ignore them and read the comments of people who care enough to write something interesting.
