Do you always thank the creator of a GA you just won?
I will always thank someone for sending me a gift if I win a giveaway. Doesn't matter if it's public, private, whitelist, group, or otherwise.
It literally takes me 30 seconds or less to write a non-generic thank you, that's the least I can do to show my gratitude to the giveaway creator.
I've had the same thoughts, to be honest. Around Christmas I sent out over 200 gifts. If I had to guesstimate, I would say less than 50 actually thanked me. But at the same time, blacklisting is a little extreme - they haven't broken any rules. Also, way too much clutter on the blacklist.
I was thinking of just creating a group and inviting all the thankers, thereby filtering out the non-thankers - but I'm lazy and I haven't taken action yet.

Yes, I think it's quite natural to thank someone after you've win one of theirs GA. If someone gives me something in real life, I thank them, so why would it be different here... I got to say it makes me a little disappointed when someone who won one of my GAs, doesn't even say thank you, I mean nobody's got any obligation to me and I am happy to give the game away either way, but yes it makes me feel good when I get a thank you from a winner. I've got to say also that since I do my public GA for higher level users, it's much more rare that I don't get a thank you than before.

Depends on the gift. If it's some bundle game with 15% positive reviews, I'd feel awkward for being thanked for it. It's like handing someone a bag of trash, and getting thanked for it.
But better games? Sure, it's nice to get thanks for those.

Super, je vais enfin pouvoir m'exprimer facilement en français ^^
Pendant longtemps, la grande majorité de mes GAs étaient publics, avec un level assez faible (1 ou 2). Au début, je ne me suis pas formalisée outre mesure du fait que quasiment personne ne me disait merci après avoir gagné. Jusqu'au jour où une personne a gagné un jeu AAA que j'avais payé cher pour récompenser la communauté de m'avoir aidé à faire une traduction en anglais. Non seulement la personne ne m'avait pas aidé, ni même laissé un bump sur le topic, mais en plus elle n'avait même pas pris 3 secondes pour lâcher un simple "merci". Depuis ce jour, je laisse une description dans tous mes GAs publics ou privés précisant que le gagnant a intérêt à laisser un merci s'il ne veut pas se retrouver dans ma blacklist ce qui n'a malheureusement eu aucun effet....
Je pense sincèrement que c'est un total manque de respect. Qu'il s'agisse d'un jeu ayant coûté moins de 1€ ou du dernier jeu AAA, la personne qui offre un jeu l'a payé quoi qu'il arrive, et a choisi volontairement de le donner pour RIEN sur ce site. Les personnes qui trouvent le temps de rentrer dans un GA mais qui ne sont pas capables de prendre quelques secondes pour laisser un vulgaire "merci" n'ont toujours pas compris à quoi sert Steamgifts. Libre à elles d'agir comme elles le souhaitent, mais je ne veux plus les voir dans mes GAs.

Merci d'avoir partagé ton avis Atalante ! Je partage le même avis que toi, je trouve ça bien dommage de voir ce genre de choses sur Steamgifts... Mais bon, ce n'est pas grave, il y a tout de même beaucoup de gens bien ici (même s'ils sont peu dans l'ensemble ^^).

Hello guys,
Yesterday I've done some giveaways with multiple copies (In Public : For Lvl 2 / 3 / 4). So I did several tests to see user behavior in Public GAs.
I have questions about that :
Do you think it's "normal" that when people win a gift, they don't say a little thanks/feedback to the creator?
Personally I am quite amazed at the number of people who do not say thank you (Only 3 feedbacks on my 18 lasts copies GAs)...
For the moment, I don't blacklist anyone for this, but sometimes I hesitate...
Just to know : When YOU win a GA, do you write a little feedback to thanks the GA-creator?
PS : Sorry for my bad english,
There are two (yes, two!) little presents for you : here :D.
Thank you for reading, feel free to answer and have a nice day ! :D
