What do you check when someone wins your giveaway?

1a. No.
1b. yes, I will remind him/her to click the received.
1c. No, don't care about this.
1d. No, it's their business.
1e. Yes,but I don't know how to find them.

I've only recently started making giveaways. I've never checked any of that stuff.

How can you tell if someone has blacklisted you?

I check if they've activated all wins using the SGTools script that SilentGuy made above. Three middle clicks. One on user name, one on activated link from script and one on multiple wins link from script.

Yes the browser takes a bit of time to load them, I feel it's part of my responsibility as a community member to do so, because if I don't, you're obviously not >=D

It's not like I have to stop and ask them personally if I can check their pockets, the information is publicaly available as if they are wearing a sign around their neck.

I don't check the other things.

However there are a lot of groups I am in that check this before you can join and I typically don't check in those groups.

There are so many rule breakers and it makes me sad, but to have some citizens helping the support staff help makes me keep giving games, doesn't stop me from wanting to do so.

Just like if a someone broke a law IRL, I would help as a witness, not turn a blind eye or pretend I did t see it happen. I recently volunteered to fill out a witness report because I saw a guy who was obviously drunk hit a sign at a drive through, then hit a car not once but twice while going 5 mph, hit it backed up hit it again, then hit a pole, then hit 3 more cars and hurt people. I just see it as my social responsibility to participate in the activities that help keep our community running.

There are giveaway sites that don't make you check these things or don't care if you own the game, and those sites always are filled with people who will sell your key, or trade it off to someone else.

Meh, /end ramble

It depends on the game and level. If its a poor rated bundle scrap I generally put it out at low level and don't care what happens to it. Higher rated bundle scraps I may do a basic rules check to make sure the person getting it is a decent community member. For games I really love I go all the way and check to make sure that the games new home is going to appreciate it.

a (using the sgtools script ofc) and usually b.
For some group gveaways, I also check if the user is still in the group.

i don't check anything - unless it's a gift, instead of a key.
in that case, i check if the winner has that game or not.

after I see "recived" I dont care anymore

1a. Do you check if the winner activated all his/her wins (so also giveaways from other creators)
No.
1b. Do you check if the winner already has the game he/she won from you?
Yes.
1c. Do you check if the winner activated your giveaway game on steam?
No.
1d. Do you check if the winner plays the game he/she won from you?
No.
1e. Do you check if you got blacklisted bij the winner?
No, and even if I was blacklisted by the winner I don't think it would make much difference.

Also, bump. Thanks for Shadow Ninja. :D

Yes.

No.
1c. Do you check if the winner activated your giveaway game on steam?
Rarely, I used to do it systematically.
1d. Do you check if the winner plays the game he/she won from you?
No.
1e. Do you check if you got blacklisted bij the winner?
No.

Only 1b.

I do usually check 1a, sometimes include 1b.
I think it all depends on my moodXD

Bump, 1a and 1b. Thank you!

I google their usernames and don't stop detectivin' until I have their Facebook profile and there I check if they treat their cats, dogs or other pets right. Not that I don't send them the game if they don't, but I cast a powerful curse upon the key.

Sometimes I check, mostly not, I'm mr lazypants

Do you check if the winner activated all his/her wins (so also giveaways from other creators) - yes

Do you check if the winner activated your giveaway game on steam? - Sometimes. When giving a gift as opposed to a key it should pop up in my activity that feed that "winner now owns xxxxxxxx" as activation auto-adds them to the gifter's friend list. If I notice that I haven't seen this then I've been known to take a look at their inventory or have a look through their library.

No to the other questions.

I check nothing, couldnt care less what happens to the game once i give it away.

a to c

I usually check with SGtools. Found once a mean non-activator reincited and ask for a reroll. So it was a good idea to check.

I don't usually check the winner at all. Sometimes (in the past) I used to check if the winner had activated previous gifts but nowadays I mostly do giveaways for whitelist and smaller groups which should have people who know the rules and obey them. Also I'm a bit lazy so the checking would totally harsh my buzz.

I check nothing

1d. Do you check if the winner plays the game he/she won from you? :D

1a. Yes
1b. Nope
1c. Yes
1d. Nope
1e. Nope
1f. .......................
1g. PROFIT!!!... no wait... I'm giving stuff away... so... NEGATIVE PROFIT!!!!

bump and thanks for the giveaway!

I only check their profile and whether they already owned the game. Then wait for the "Received" to be checked :)

I just had a few giveaways finish, and I'm glad I checked on sgtools about activated wins.
One winner has 3 unactivated wins, one in the last month. Requested reroll, but support must be very busy right now.
It makes me wonder how someone with 3 unactivated wins is still allowed to use this site.

After so many times of my giveaways being denied rerolls, I've pretty much stopped doing them. To manually reroll, it takes so many hours to pick enough people (randomly from entries) who don't have the game, don't have any multiple wins, and don't have recently unclaimed/regifted games... Even with sgtools links, it's just takes so long to find legit accounts. I could care less if the winner plays my game, I just don't like it when scammers get it. I don't want to get too deep into my moderator rant, but it seems like even needing a 3rd party site plugin instead of accounts being automatically flagged (and possibly removed) reveals a huge flaw in the SG.
