Well, I just wanted to check requirements for a train but sgtools is saying that I am flagged for not having activated some wins or my profile is private, none of it is true. So I wonder where is the problem. I activated all my wins and my profile is not private and was not private at the time when I was trying to do it.

I was just trying to enter a giveaway but SGtools is erroneously claiming that I either have unactivated wins or that my profile is private, neither of which is correct
edit: okay, so wait 20 minutes and try again then? never had this happen before

And that is why I didn't want to implement a second cache, a lot of you mix them both.
Giveaways doesn't care about the 20 minutes cache, any problem that you have with giveaways it can be solved with a sync (if steam is up again).
There are two diferent caches:

Seems there is a bug in the wagon entry system, that resulted in my list of games I can check invalid entries for, showing a game I didn't create, instead of the one I did. What seems to have happened, is that someone else at one time or another put in a giveaway into sgtools, such that the 5 character unique GA identifier, when you ignore its case, collided with mine. For obvious reasons, due to my GA still ongoing, I won't be posting the unique identifier, as that would leak an entry point into my on-going active train.
However, it is something along the lines of my giveaway:
the colliding when case is ignored giveaway, https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/BcDeF/crow```
As a result, I am NOT able to check if all my entries are valid in my giveaway, because it is checking the wrong giveaway.
The unique identifiers are in fact case sensitive. The GA train in question where this happened is http://www.sgtools.info/giveaways/5943adf1-f234-11e6-96a2-fa163ee2f826

This was the exact block of giveaways pasted when I created the SGTools Gate. (IDs changed for obvious reasons.)

It definitely is strange that the xxxx7/klocki got replaced with Xxxx7/crow, that I didn't catch right away. That definitely never should have happened.

So long story short a long time ago I won a game in a mass developer giveaway and neglected to activate it. I still have the key and it is technically still valid (unused). However since I won the game the developer has removed the game from steam. This means that I cannot redeem the game and therefore unable to pass the 'Has activated all won games' criteria. Is there anything that can be done about this or am I doomed to never be able to enter giveaways cover by sgtools?

When I tried before I thought it gave me a generic error. However on reattempt it is telling me that someone else redeemed the giveaway. I am fairly sure that I didn't give the code to anyone (despite an attempt to regift, the giveaway was deleted, I know this is against the rules but I was young and foolish and have served my time for it. The code should still be valid). What I think is most likely to have happened is that given the extensive amount of time the key was valid for, someone with some sort of key cracking software grabbed it. Unfortunately I don't think this is valid reason for any exceptions to be added to my account so I won't complain about it.
Thank you for your time.
Edit: Just in case you were interested the game was Sins of a Dark Age

not saying it's what happened here, but saying it's not impossible and may happen in the future as well as happened in the past - if Valve remove the game because it was used to market exploitation (like it happened with Digital Homicide Games who generated millions of keys for their games before they got removred from Steam) they may have make unused keys invalid so they can no longer be used to farm cards. At least that's what was happening at the beggining with DH keys, now they just make cards unmarketable, yet still it is something that can happen.

Hi,
In sgtools, I always get this error message : "Your public real CV is too low : 74,4"
But when I check my CV on https://www.sgtools.info/sent/ then I get 92.35 in which 86.65 is public.
So I believe I should be at 86.65 and not 74.4 or am I missing something ?
For info, I checked yesterday and again today, same value whereas my contributor level raised a bit in steamgift...is this normal ?
EDIT : I just saw there is a force synchronization....I thought it parsed automatically the profiles at each check but it does not apparently !

As a small improved variation on this suggestion, how about just adding a simple parameter wishlisted
and making it check that the date is earlier than GA creation? I don't think any GA creator would want to allow people to enter a GA by adding a game to their wishlist after the fact, so it should be sufficient for almost all cases (and would be much simpler than the current syntax).

VAC Bans stop appearing on public profiles after 3,000 days. The ban is still tied that account, though. If the VAC ban doesn't appear on the profile page can people pass that rule?

I just read about this the other day, and I assume it will only start to get more and more common. I don't use SGtools, I just wanted to contribute :D

Not sure if it is proper to post here, but I cannot figure out why I cannot pass the rule below (my numbers are 416 sent/182 won=2.3):
Minimum ratio using number of gifts Sent/Won on Steamgifts: 1 (It says my value is '0')
Comment has been collapsed.
Rule is not well constructed, well technically it is but I don't think is what you expect to be.
You are trying to apply a modulo of 0 (because modulos work with integers) and that of course causes an error.
If you want to use a division, please use "/"

I won a giveaway for a game where the keys got revoked (Galaxy in eclipse), so it was impossible for me to redeem the key. So I am getting flagged for not activating gifts.

Hello room :)
I have a question: I've just discovered today that I'm seen as "Not activated Gifts on" account. SG website shows me a giveway won : "Chicken Shoot Gold" and actually the gifter made a mistake, after activated the key I saw the game was Chicken Shoot 2, not the 'Gold'. Since the game looked to be insteresting and the game name looked similar, I've assumed this was a simple error on the name, then I marked the gift as received.
Now, what can I do to fix it in my SG status ?
Thank you :)
Comment has been collapsed.
The giveaway creator most likely tried to game the system by gifting a free game under a similar name, to earn CV from it.
Or they could have made a genuine mistake, let's give them the benefit of the doubt...by the looks of it, you aren't their only "victim".
Mark as not received, then you can either:

Thank you for explanations :)
But since the GA is old and I accepted the key, my opinion is that is too late to fix it by this way and not fair... I think about another way: simply buy the Gold by myself, that will clear the situation...
Now, I will aware in the future :D
Thank you again for your time to explain it to me. :)

Mike already told you what to do with the winner.
In order to enter giveaways in Sgtools that requires you to activate all your wins, just sync you account to refresh the cache.

I got a problem, rule checker says my profile is clean, but when I try to enter any giveaway it says that my account is flagged with unactivated wins, what could be the problem?

Thankfully I didn't have to send any re-roll requests, but I had 3 people on my train that obtained the entry url by means other than by sgtools gate 4be6f06d-fd56-11e6-96a2-fa163ee2f826. The train in question was https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/wm2Dc/sgtools-all-aboard-the-friday-special-46-train-for-a-48-hour-ride
All 3 of them have been personally blacklisted by me. They were stowaways in most of the GAs in that train.

Could I make a suggestion for the unactivated wins page. How about showing a timestamp on the page. The use case for this, is say, a user prefers to keep their steam profile private. As a result, I ask support to review their history. Now, a timestamp could allow for me to ask the user to do a process where they make their steam profile public, check themselves out with sgtools non-activation, and post a screenshot, then they make their steam profile private once again.
Without the time stamp, how do I know they didn't use a screenshot that is one month, two months, one year, or even older, as their proof. At least with a timestamp, I can be 100% certain they did it at the time of being asked, and didn't prepare a screenshot for the eventual case of being asked.
Comment has been collapsed.
support won't care what the screenshot timestamp says. they still have to verify anything from that page for themselves. the only time i can think of where a timestamp would matter is when a person is kicked from a group, support may need proof of the kick time. but nothing on the multi/nonactivate pages would ever need timestamp to verify. regardless if they failed the test 2mins ago or 2months ago, they manually have to check the library of the user.
edit: don't get me wrong though, that feature still could be useful for our own record keeping. i just mean it's useless for that specific reason though.
Comment has been collapsed.
What it would actually be useful for, is proving a pass, rather than a fail, with the pass being subject to pretty much the same rules that sgtools does when you use an sgtools gate that requires no non-activations. It is true that the timestamp won't be of much use to support, just that I would like to offer a faster way that bypasses support entirely, when they ARE able to pass, and it can be proven that the pass was 2 minutes ago, rather than 2 months ago.
