[SGtools] future new tool opinions / suggestions / ideas

some custom filters suggestions:

- user owns X game / user doesn't own X game
for cases like this or da:o awakening.
also useful to filter out people that own a base game and want to enter a complete pack (ie: xcom, da:o ultimate).

- less than X game in library / more than X games in library
prevent people with too many/too few games from entering the giveaway.

- less than X games in wishlist / more than X games in wishlist
same as library size, but for wishlist

- game wishlisted before X date
only enter the giveaway if the game was added to the wishlist before the specified date.

- last vac ban X days ago
would be nice to have some flexibility, not just block access to everyone with a vac ban even if it's 4 years old.

- last multiple win X days ago
same as the vac ban filter, but for multiple wins. it's impossible to remove them if the ga creator doesn't cooperate.

:3

I have also the cache problem. How can i clear it or will you do it?

Hi, I'm trying to make a GA with sgtools using a region restricted GA (private) but the system gives me this message: Error: Giveaway is not private . Is it not allowed to use region restricted GAs? =)

Hello, since few days ago I'm having the same problem as this post, I'm certain that I have activated all my wins.Can you help me solve this? Thank you!

Edit: Nevermind, problem solved by syncing. Silly me :p

Not sure if it's been suggested yet, but everytime I check a winner, I use both Not Activated and Multiple Wins. Why not make a new option "All rules" that checks both?

How often does an account mistakenly get flagged as having unactivated wins or profile is private? Cause it happened to me again and it occurs weekly.

I took a quick look into the possibilites to create giveaways with this tool and haven't seen the one I was searching for. It may give people some interesting options for events (not sure if I would really use it but I think it is interesting anyway). Is there a way for SGTools to check if an user has checked the SGTools check of another giveaway? Let us say we have giveaway A and B and I want to force the people to decide. Can I tell SGTools something like: Check if user X has completed the toolcheck for giveaway A. If yes he will not get a link. If no he will get the link. And the same the other way around for giveaway B.
This way users could make those narration events with "meaningful" decisions because you can't go back and check the alternative. As you make the giveaways one after another you probably would have to be able to edit your SGTools conditions.

Is it clear what I mean? I'm actually quite confident in my english but this I find hard to explain.

Not sure if it's on sgtools end or not. But he can't get past it. I manually checked everything and he should be able to

Yesterday I had a discussion with an SG user regarding giveaways of free games. His lack of respect with the people warning the creator about how he could be suspended etc, triggered my alarms so I used sgtools. The guy was a systematic 'cheater' of SG. I knew about two non activated games but with sgtools I could find a third one more more old.

I told him, I double checked him and another user, on the same discussion, told him too about how he/shee could see the non activated games too! So I guess that guy was more than once time reported and today is suspended for two weeks, however, this guy has learned his lesson and now... His profile is private :[

I didn't know that setting the profile into private section made you "invulnerable" to the SGtools checking tools, now I',m sad because this guy is going to start again in a couple of weeks :(

Hey knsys,

I made my first SGTool GA yesterday, so first I want to say it's a great service!
But I came across something weird, hope you can enlighten me -
I've made this GA to cap the number of entries, first it was 250, but in the end it reached 251. After a while I set it to 256, and again it reached 257. In the valid entries page it says "Every entry is legit!". So what am I missing? Maybe I accidentally used it once and it's counting it too?

Dear knsys,

I'm REALLY sorry if these have already been suggested, I tried to read all previous posts but after 70 posts I'm phoning it in.
First and foremost a guide on how to use the custom advanced filters would be great. I realize that they're advanced for a reason but a good chunk of people have rudimentary or zero coding knowledge & thus will struggle with using them.

Would it at all be possible to filter by 'giveaways sent in past xx days' or perhaps a 'giveaways sent since xx date' ?
Probably wildly ambitious, but '<value> nonbundled sent since <time period>' (e.g. at least $30 nonbundled sent in past 90 days) would such a filter be excessively irksome to create or actually possible ?

SGTools is bloody lovely, I'm among the many who really appreciate it & it lets us use SG in a much more precise manner. The ads I get on it are unobtrusive & fairly relevant so additional thanks for the clean layout.

Filtering the games on contributor level is actually the only thing we need asap :-)

I've activated Disgaea PC, but sgtools says I did not activate it :S

I wud like to suggest steamgifts wish/want list for games of different editions . For example I have Borderlands 2 in my steam wish list but Borderlands 2 GOTY wont show up in there , so i have to use search all the time for games that in my wish list already . So game packs / editions that cant be wishlisted on steam , shud be wishlisted at steamgifts

I haven't read the suggestions, but here's mine. Should be simple to implement:

• Number of Steam games in library

Bonus points (may not be simple/possible to implement)

• Number of unplayed games in library (yes, it would be nice to filter out "idled for cards," but that gets trickier)

Very simple. Sometimes I like to give games to people who will play them, not add them to their collection or to their enormous backlog.

THe best function will be to know how much CV is realy giving each game... can be possible to know it ?

I'm experimenting with the range operator and it doesn't seem to work the way I expect. In one giveaway (linked in this thread) I use the following custom rule:

!(num_sent==1&&num_won==6..10)

I would have expected that users with number of wins between 6 and 10 won't be able to join, but I still have three entries for users with 7, 8 and 10 wins. None of them won in the last few days, so it's not a case of having less than 6 wins and than winning more. Is it wrong use of this operator on my side, or were they doing something fishy? Note that the invalid entries list doesn't list any users.

I'm not sure if this was discussed already, but I wonder why getting link is separated into 2 steps: 1. Check requirements and 2. Get giveaway link. ?
Wouldn't it be better when user automatically receives GA link if he passes the requirements test? Or he could even be redirected to GA page if test is passed.

Yirg suggested I post this here.

An idea for a Whitelist/Blacklist cleaner

I wonder if there is a way to get some sort of whitelist/blacklist checker with rules you can set which would tell you which people pass those rules and it allows you to manually remove them or to check a box and have them all automatically removed.

Hello, i didn't see if someone else get the same problem as me. If yes, sorry for the copy.

Some days ago i had to make my steam profile private. After some days i put back on public. That was 2 days ago. Yesterday i was trying to join a giveaway through sgtools and i get this message : "Your account is flagged as having some unactivated Wins or your profile is Private."

The profile is not longer private and all my Wins are activated.

I've tried on another sgtool GA and get the same message. What can i do ?

Thanks for your answer guys and sorry if my english is not good ;)

Have a nice day !

How does SGTools handle what's deemed as regifting?
For example, I win a game, and then at a later stage it appears in a bundle, and I give that same game away, does SGTools pick it up as regifting?
I have a key I want to make a GA for, but already have won this game on SG, so am curious.
Thanks

Guys facing an issue with Sgtools. It says I have not activated all my wins (However they are all activated). It shows DLC's in yellow (I know its an API issue) but its not letting me enter any GA because of the non active game rule. Need Help!!

Hi there, I have a problem: my first SGT protected train of sorts has 3 wagons, all GAs have ended now. Checking manually, SGT claims all entries are OK for the first two, the third though has a startling number of invalids, close to 40% of the total entries.

I posted the train in SGT protected form in that thread and nowhere else. However, I'd like to make sure there is no problem, situation or whatnot that may be leading to false positives.

Hopefully this is the right place and form to ask for help. If not, please let me know what I should do.

edit: just spotted what looks like a discrepancy in the SGT Entries count.
The dashboard is saying "URL given 539 times", but the SGTools Entries List returns only 434 usernames who were given the GA URL. What gives?

I am trying to make a Darksiders Franchise giveaway with SGtools but I am getting this error when I copy-paste the steamgifts link: " Error: Not a giveaway URL .
The giveaway link is this one: https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/xxxxx/darksiders-franchise-pack
