See, I won a giveaway. I received the mail (where the guy apologize if the key don't work). The key actually don't work (duplicated). So now, I have to wait a week to mark it as Not Received. But am I really forced to see this bar the all week? That bar who reminds me that I didn't really won...

So, like in the title, there should be a way to hide this bar cause, I saw that I won (but not), so why reminds me that every time I go here if the guy who made the giveaway didn't sent me the gift yet? Plus, if I won again during this week, I won't be able to see it unless I spam the bar everytime, and that's boring...

There's no way to hide it currently.

Maybe the support can mark it for you, skipping the one week wait time.

Yeah, I'm in almost the same situation. I won a giveaway last week and still haven't received the game. The user's got until tonight before I can mark it as not received, so time's almost up, but seeing that green bar sit there all week has been a bit of a nuisance. Since it's a reminder to provide feedback, what might be a nice option is if it stayed until you looked at it, then went away, and reappeared after 7 days if you haven't provided feedback for giveaways won recently. Then you'd get the notification that you won and the reminder to leave feedback without having to see the same notification for a week. shrug

Ever since the summer sale event started the amount of first world problems posts in here has doubled. Sigh.

Everyone who says "first world problems" and doesn't live in a 3rd world country needs to die in a fire.

I'd suggest making it visible until we actually click to see what we've won and hide it after that since we're aware of the situation and maybe show it again after 1 week after it ended to remind us to make a choice

that makes a lot of sense. it's not that difficult to set a flag saying there's new wins since the last time the user looked at the win list.

He said, while sat at a computer reading an internet forum on a website used solely by people who like to play video games in their free time. Relatively speaking all our problems are first-world problems so yeah...sorry, but anyone who uses a computer keyboard to gibber and dribble another "First world problems" onto the internet is wasting their brain and everybody else's time.

Should someone who has only given away $0.99 worth really be complaining about anything?

I didn't know you must have a high contribution value to be alowed to complain about not receiving a gift you WON.

Should someone who has only given away $24.98 in games really be complaining about anyone else? I propose that the threshold for having a valid opinion on this site should be just slightly under what I've given away.

I've been registered one week. He's been registered for three months...not to mention he's won five times. Time to be a contributing member of the community, IMHO.

You don't have to wait a week, just mark it as not received as you will never receive it from the dude.

Is it? I've never had that problem so I don't know. If he can't mark it then contacting support would be the next best idea.
