If you don't like that I'm creating topic about sth that already was talked about - don't bump it :) Writing "this again" doesn't help.

EDIT This topic is obviously about 'thanking for nothing' and automatically writing "ty" without minding it. It's not about one fake giveaway.


Another fake giveaways today: 2 x (separate) Skryrim, at 2 a.m. for 1 hour, at the end with about <400 entries.

Why so many users don't take a time to think, but just click? Everybody runs to say "thank you" (IMO: which is by the way a good proof, what is it worth - they even don't sacrifice a sec. to read description)

  1. Some guy wrote in DESCRIPTION "it was a mistake, don't give negative" (sth like that).
  2. He added 1st comment with similar content.
  3. He had no Skyrim in inventory.
  4. No Skyrim on his account.
  5. He plays in weak free2play games.
  6. Doesn't seem that he could afford 2 Skryims to giveaway (not many games in library).
  7. That was his first giveaways.

People couldn't stop thanking him till the end :)
Creator banned in last seconds of his 1st giveaway.

Somebody also wrote, that "if it was fake, then giveaway wouldn't appear, because moderators have to approve Skyrim". I tried to answer him, but when I refreshed page it was already gone: http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/TalOL/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim/

That comment was mine. I read the description and had NO IDEA what he was talking about. I'm sorry for all the people I may have confused/made mad. I feel pretty stupid after noticing the giveaway was fake/a mistake.

No need to. Their problem is in thanking for nothing IMO.

Really isn't their fault. They see a giveaway for a wanted game, they jump at the chance. Or they could've just saw the description and decided to troll everyone by entering.

No, just stop posting stupid complaints and wasting screen space. How are you acting any differently from the person who made the fake giveaway in the first place?

It's against the rules. He was banned. End of story.

This topic is not about a banned guy, but about people thanking for nothing.

Too long to read? And stop talking about "bitching". You are repeating yourself.

... yeah i read you first complain about people spamming thans, but that actually have less sence than the "bitching" about the banned guy...
you are not even complainnig about the fake give-away, instead, you complain about all the "thanks-spaming-bots", that have a LOT more sense... and still, this is a bitching tread, have a nice day :D

Suspension in coming and for the last fucking time; Just because someone doesn't have the game, doesn't mean the giveaway is fake! I've only ever once owned the game I was giving away once, at the time I gave it away! Every other time, I didn't own the game.

Im not talking about that, you wrote this: "No Skyrim on his account" Not that you may even be able to reply back since there is a good chance you will get suspended for calling out.

You took it out of context. You could also write that I suggested that point 7 ("That was his first giveaways.") means it's fake. No, it don't.

Oh well sorry but It just annoys me when people say that but in all seriousness, if you dont want a suspension then take the link to his account out cuz this counts as "calling out" another user

Edit: oh well you already did it. good thing you did lol

So people are thanking for stuff they won't get? It's a bit like people not thanking for stuff they do get! Lol!

I don't care about the comments in my give aways, but when I first started giving people would message a thanks on Steam after they won. Just don't seem to get that any more...

I don´t see anybody cheating nothing here. This is not a game it is a community, it have rules and it have exploits, cause humans r not perfect. Wake up and see that internet it´s just like real life. The mods do their best to maintain the community and ban exploiters and people who don´t know how to beheave. If u r bringing this up to the rest of users in this community u r doing it right, but don´t do it as it was somebody´s fault. Everybody is here for free, trying to get free games, if you see exploiters or something like this REPORT THEM and don´t try bringing this as some end of the world case, cause it is not.

If u want it to change, report the giveaway, create a ticket and try contacting a mod.
I saw the giveaway like u, hoping it could be real, but instead I´ve found a fake. What did I do? BURNED MY ENTIRE HOME O:

No, no, no, I just pay attention to thanking for obviously fake giveaway, which even was described like this. I'm talking about ppl who automatically write "ty" in comments, but don't really mind it.

okay but what r they doing wrong or cheating about?
they get more comments in their profiles? is this really a problem?
If u tell me this is because somebody can think they r active in the community, I should disagree. You can tell who is active reading the topics and not only by the number of comments.
Numbers in comments are just overrated and as sb already gave the suggestion of having giveaways with comment/entries ratio the community disaprooved and the topic is just sitting there (and in my humble opinion this suggestion is crap).
Really, I can´t get your point, but leechers will always be leechers thanking who did the giveaway be it fake or not, and I think they are not even reading the topic :/

Oh, god, steamgifts... Are we allowed to write only with affairs or propositions? I thought that Steamgifts is A SOCIETY. And now I see a lot of hating, as I would FORCE that people to come here (what a nonsense). I wrote at the beginning - if sb don't care, don't bump too and thread will die.

I just wouldn't give a thank for a potato if the other person told me that he/she WILL NOT give me that potato. Lol.

  • "See this beautiful potato? You will not have it!"
  • "thank you very much!"
  • "Oh, i got here a second potato, which I wil also NOT give to you"
  • "Thanks, I always wanted that potato!"
