PROBLEM?

Edit: Sorry accidentally typed something in this "Add a comment" box, and clicked "Submit Comment". If it brought me to a confirmation page, I would have clicked Submit again. Didn't actually want to make this comment.

And what would stop them from just clicking "I've read and accept ...". Most newcomers that make giveaways thinking they will receive the gift can't even read English.

They can make it more apparent, but what's the odds they won't actually read it?

its been shown before these "accidental" giveaways are children thinking they put what games they want and it will magically appear in their account :P

Yes, make the morons ignore a slightly more intrusive warning. that'll fix everything.

What i find funny is that everyone use the same excuse.
"I left my pc on and a friend created giveaway as joke, but dont worry, he´s not my friend anymore."

A confirmation page is enough. It's their fault if they proceed without knowing how the site works.

Well, I think one solution for this problem could be that people wouldn't be allowed to make a giveaway unless they have the corresponding game in their inventory. That way people could only make giveaways for games they already have and thus CAN give away. But I guess that would require that Steamgifts should constantly be syncing with everyone's Steam accounts to know what giftable games people have in their inventories, and I guess it would perhaps be too difficult and time-consuming to program Steam and Steamgifts to constantly interact with each other like that.

Best solution would be to translate steamgifts in other languages like russian.

Most often they just don't speak english very well hence the error.A good translation in the most popular languages except English would be very helpful.

(Cg if you read this -> I can help you with the French translation)

But it was my cousin! It wasn't me! I not make giveaway language prz potato cup desk.

WE NEED ACCIDENTAL BANS!

How'bout you just have to be registered for like 2-4 weeks before u can open up a give away?
Would definetly stop all those newfags from submitting games they want after beeing registered for 2 days(Btw. it's always(or nearly) a '2 days' member,who opens up fakes.)..

LOOOOOOOOOOOL

Reading the rules is for suckers.

Suspending the accounts for like a week should teach them honestly...

registers
wall of texts pops up
TL;DR
accidentally creates a giveaway

"Accidental" lol

I think you should just read the description.

I accidentally didn't read the FAQ when I signed up, despite multiple messages telling me to do so. Hurrdurr, free Skyrim and MW3 for everyone!

But honestly, I think cg should put a banner on the top of SteamGifts for a small period of time, saying "PLEASE READ FAQ BEFORE MAKING GIVEAWAY. IGNORANCE WILL RESULT IN USER BAN"

They are not accidents. They deliberately put them up to get points to enter a giveaway. Simple solution is to just ban them, or maybe to be not so mean a temp ban for a week on first transgression?

what about this:

• a giveaway can only be created at least XX minutes in the future
• during this period the creator can deactivate/remove the giveaway
• at the end of the giveaway the user is not only shown a recap of the giveaway but a related part of the FAQ/rules

ok fixed
