Sup.

Try to make forum and puzzle giveaways, I think then the people will be more polite.

Is at least the forum ok? ;)

I'm a nice guy. Hello, pleased to meet you, sir! :)

I know people who agree with you.
I gave out a few bundle keys on the forums and the people who got it "OMG IT WORKED XDDDDD" and I was waiting for a thank you, I even told them if they were going to say it and they replied to something similar to "XDDDDD".

Yeah, there are dicks, but not everyone on SG is like that. Don't let them make you hate this community.

No.

Kappa

I would say that's a minority of the community rather than a majority. Yes, there are dicks out there, but most of us are pretty decent.

I always say thank you to everyone who joins my giveaway and wins, and to those who i win giveaways from :)

I love these threads because they normally let me know who to ignore because they're generalizing rude arses (op seems to be an exception to the this). I hate rude people too, more than I should in day to day situations (I get full of rage) but I don't tar everyone with the same brush and accuse everyone of being a greedy douchbag etc. I at least wait for them to do something before calling them out like this.

Stop assuming I'm (and the many people like me) ungrateful before you even have a chance to see that I'm not. Sadly there are pricks in every walk of life but don't let them break you and assume everyone you meet will be one D:

I totally agree with this, people should be more mature or I shall say, kids!

"mostly (please, honest to god, prove me different) just sucks."
This community exists. Explain that. :)

But +1 to Brotbaum's forums/puzzle giveaways -- giveaways are more fun when it's with the people who really are a part of the community of the site.

There are many nice people here too! :3

They're easy to get out of their pants?

Yeah, there is a need to slap this community around a bit.

I always say a thank you, then delete the person as a friend. My friends list is for people I know, not randoms. But common courtesy is a always a must~

Do you need a hug? come by my house, youll get 1!

Visit the happy place

Here's a virtual hug for you!

I think even though this is true only a minority of the community is like that, or at least i have found few ppl like that.

Honestly i dont care if ppl comment on my giveaways (BUT I READ ALL THE COMMENTS), but i would be liying if I said that I dont expect a Thanks from the person that won my giveaway the moment i give him the present. Which sometimes I dont get but wtv i just carry on.

I concluded after some giveaways and watching alot the forums, that the best choice is to make private giveaways, puzzles on forums and a few "seeder" groups.

even so I will still make very rarely public giveaways with 0.00$ contributor, just because i also was one of them, and began to giveaway because i was happy to recieve some games that I wanted.

for now im thinking of some puzzles (muhahahaha).

I have to be honest here. I usually don't say thanks on the giveaway page. I do say thanks on steam, and even if its a key sent by mail i always send a thank you mail :) But on steamgifts i've met some great people wich without doubt would be close friends if only they would live a bit closer to me :) I try to be as good as i can, i've given away games to people who didn't receive their game in random giveaways.
I always listen and i add everyone who adds me on steam. I do delete them again after i know what they where after(Help,question about a game i own, trades etc...)
But i agree that there are some douchebags but lets be honest, they can be found about everywhere.

Tell me "but you know what they say about drunken people..." what do they say? Thanks!

It's nice to be back after being "sent to the naughty corner". Hopefully i won't get in trouble again.

hello , i am a nice guy , u can send me the gift . :D i can give u hug

That does sound awful, but I haven't encountered this yet. I highly doubt that you're talking about the biggest part of this community.

I'm sorry that this happend to you :(

When I created my giveaway , the winners said thanks and I usually keep talk with them

But I do believe that there is still good people in this forum , and it may be hard to find one , but I believe you will find

So good luck in that search :)

I think it's not the community's fault. People are rude and ungreatful nowadays, they were much more polite in the past.But yea, It would drive me nuts too if it happened to me...
