We already have the 100$ worth of games in account condition to register here, that already takes care of what you mentioned.

A 6-7 level restriction would be a lot more appropriate, it's hard to get to level 10 without actively investing in games.

Is there an actual problem with fake accounts / scammers / bots on this site?

I'm only Steam level 7. I'll see myself out. Someone take control of the wheel.

Nope, no thank you. Ain't nobody got time to level up.

Nah. I'm getting level 5-7 scam bots lately. Probably stolen accounts used for it. Yesterday got level 18 profile invite. And again it was a scam attempt. All things people propose - having $(insert amount of dollars here) worth of games on your account, or Steam account level 10+... This won't work. Scammers and bots will always find a way.

If Pew is right, bot will find. And some people can't join steamgift only because of level of steam. We will lose more and bot will pass your required

Nope. I have over 500 games and I would barely be eligible to register, just because I don't craft badges.

i think your idea will just get rid of steamgift community, not scammer or bot... average people don't give a shit about badges, since they are useless and they prefer put their money into games (for what i saw until now... or maybe that is just how people are around here ?). But people who make fake acc will just find some way to do cheap badge to have the level. Also the higher the level, the less the people "need" to win games since they have enough money to make a steam account to level 10 (and by that the money to level it up ?) there is also the fact that people who created load of steam account ages ago when steam was created, will already be near the level 10, while new steam users, whoever they are, will just be rejected.
Also, i got scammer invite in steam wich were level 12... either they stole the account, either they find a way to level up.

Well, all that to say : steam level only show the ego of their owner, nothing about being serious or not... (and personnaly i prefer trust people who think it is better to use their money to buy games than crafting badges...)
Using steam level into account is, on my personnal advice, as ridiculous as banning every person with the pseudo beggining by T or those who won nearly twice as more than they give.

An answer to your previous thread since i had no chance to post timely - enjoy:

Is your imagination for possible reasons "why one would not gift anything back" that limited?
I wouldn't feel it'll be necessary for them to explain themselves nor having to defend them.
Giveaways are all fair game if the giving person allows it.

Not to mention you have yourself
a "barely acceptable SG profile" WIN-33/GIVE-17 Ratio - according to imaginary-hypocritical-GA-standards.
On top of that living in SWISS one of the richest countries on the god darn planet (as if that would mean anything)
but i think you were looking for an appropriate stupid answer to an appropriate stupid thread.

Have a nice day m8te, and consider beefing up your sg profile according to the "wealth"
of your country shown in steam - can't disgrace yourself like that can ya? lol

Nope, there's no reason to force people to level up their accounts and waste money on that process.
You level up your account mostly by crafting badges from cards and cards are actually free money. Also, some people don't have time or simply don't feel like trading cards to get the sets and prefer to sell them and get money for more games.

So if a member just don't care for crafting badges like me, or even cg as he stated above, we are bots/scammers?

it was only an idea. if the most of you are happy was the current state, i can live with this. I close the thread.
