A few apologies and early New Year's Resolutions

As we celebrate Christmas (Or whatever holiday), and eagerly await New Years, some might reflect upon their biggest regrets of the year, and resolve themselves to make things right before New Years passes. Okay, maybe that doesn't apply to everyone, but it does give me a reason to look back at some things I regret from my time on SG throughout 2015.

Firstly, there was the winner who actually left me +rep just for sending him his game quickly. For the last 10 months, I had failed to do anything about it, going as far as to shrug it off as nothing. However, I had faintly remembered it when I was dealing with the user who left me -rep for calling him a bot in a giveaway of mine where I specified that generic thanks comments would be labeled as bots and promptly blacklisted (And yes, he left a generic thanks comment on that GA), but I still failed to do anything about that unwarranted +rep. I know, I'm a scumbag. Maybe it was the fact that I had yet to get a response from support on the matter (3 months and counting after filing a user report on the user who left me unwarranted -rep, and still no response of any kind from SG staff), so I had shrugged it off once again. I finally decided to do something about the +rep that can be considered misuse of trade feedback, and I learn that the user who left said +rep was suspended permanently 6 months ago. I wasn't sure what to do, considering that it appeared to be redundant to file a user report on a user who was perma-suspended months ago, but I'll man up and do that very thing after I write this discussion. So, if I end up getting suspended for a time period (Could be days or months), you know why.

When I was trading (Anyone remember Dust's Trade Shop?), there was this user who added me for a trade. Before I go into further detail on this, this was shortly after that trading scare where a certain user was trading people Never Alone steam keys that were obtained from what I still think is a key generator (Thankfully, I was never targeted, but it scared me a bit when I learned of it). Upon accepting that user's friend invite, that user offered me Lego Batman 3 (Steam key, not steam gift) for a copy of Deus Ex Human Revolution I had from a recent bundle (Or so I think; I can't remember everything abut this, so that might not be 100% accurate). When I had asked where he got that key from (A precaution more than anything else I took at that time), all I got from him was that he couldn't show me the receipt of that transaction. I had grown suspicious at this point, to the point where I suggested maybe he could mark out all his personal info on a screenshot (Before apologizing for it when I realized that it sounded too intrusive), so we settled on me trading him that bundle game for 2 TF2 keys. After that's done, the next thing he says is, "You seem like a nice guy... You know what? Take the Lego Batman 3 key", and then immediately leaves that steam key in our private chat. I knew I had handled that situation extremely wrong when the only thing I thought to offer him in return was a bundle key for Kill the Bad Guy, which he declined because he already had the game. The worst part of it all, the things that I can't forgive myself for, was that I recognized the fact that I had suspected someone else wrongly, since the game never got revoked (Lego Batman 3 was activated back in February 2015, btw), and I never got around to playing the game itself until now. Feel free to call me a shitty friend, if I ever had any.

I would start a poll here, but the only responses I'd set in that poll would be "No, I don't forgive you", in varying degrees of hostilities. That would be no suprise if that were to happen in the comments here, since those things listed above are pretty shitty things I did...

As for my early SG New Years resolutions:

1. More giveaways, namely clearing out my entire list of bundle keys
2. Enforcing stronger anti-misuse of trade feedback policies here on SG
3. Distancing myself away from other users/people, since I'm a really shitty person both online and offline. Either that or just considerate thinking before any action is made.
4. If I do ever trade bundle games again, I am never trading for profit (Something I tried and failed miserably at when I first started trading on steamtrades), instead trading for games I don't own.
5. Even before this discussion was made, I had been entering far less GAs lately. Something about "It feels guilty to win a bunch of games I might not play. So, unless it's something I actually want, no need to keep my points counter depleted 24/7.

Since I hear that I'm not the only one who regrets a few things this year, I also want to hear the things you regret. And no, I won't laugh.

TL;DR - Just another year where I did incredibly stupid things that make me a terrible person and leave me things I regret forever.
