related to buying: i always thought SteamGifts users to be different kind of buyers. if you navigate a little these forums, you get sufficient knowledge to be a different kind of buyer. we also are different kind of Steam users, and players and ...
i think it's funny that what you call "embarassing" i define it as "hella lucky!" ... guess we're different kind of SG users :P

First one would be requesting to enter groups as a newbie. A user who held continuous trains also had a group for all their winners to join, they also have another group for general users. In my excitement of discovering SG groups, I mistakenly applied into both the groups! I found out i was blacklisted when I couldn't enter their continuous train! Tbh I was a bit sad that happened, all my SG excitement sank there and then!
But with time, i was like...meh... not a big deal. There are way too many GAs, some nice threads with cool users. The concept of being BL-ed also became not as impactful to me either, there is nothing more to it than unable to enter GAs. Is that such a big deal? Nah. I guess this situation helped me dissociate from SG as well. Its nice to win stuff. But its okay even if you don't.
Second?... wait i had something on my mind but i forgot due to all the reminiscing 😂

When I was new to the site, August 2013, new members where trolled within the forums by "old" members that posting "Thank you" on a giveaway you enter raises your chances of winning it.
Being new and still not knowing my way around here, I believed it and posted "Thank you" on every giveaway I entered.
Until I got a really aggressive response from someone that I should stop flooding his inbox or he would report me to support for spamming. That's when I realized: "Wait a minute..."

I had something similar. I wasn't told to put thank you by anyone but I saw it on all the giveaways so I put it to show appreciation. Now I'm on a few blacklist cuz I didn't know it's assumed you're a bot. Oh well

Giving: I came here in the beginning to give away just a bunch of shovelware keys I had around (sorry SG community!)
Taking: My first won GA was for a completely random game I have to admit, that in the end I didn't enjoy.
But I adjusted my behaviours soon!

I was new on Steamgifts. I wanted to create a giveaway and I had no idea what people might enjoy while being in my budget range. I noticed everyone was giving the same game so I dediced to buy and give the same one. I had no clue there was something as "Bundled Games".
I ended up buying a game probably no one really wants (I was confused why everyone was giving it away) with a full price :)
Once I opened the Steamgifts and I sawn interesting game name. Only 3 seconds left. I joined the giveaway without making any research about the game and I won. I didn't play it. It is one of my luckiest and embarrassing moment at the same time.
