Hey, who said contributors can't be dicks too? One side hates another, while actually there is no reason for that. One will die without another.

Don't mind harsh or sick people who tries to insult you or make you look like a raff/elitist. I know a lot of people, who are nice or at least alright in real life, but completely different individuals over the internet. You can always prove yourself as a good and interesting person just by obeying the rules and staying active (chat, forum, events). Giveawaying is always an option.

What I mean is, that comments number, value of games being given away - those are not a perfect signs that user is that cool and awesome. I know one who already contributed over 500$, has huge amount of comments by merely pasting same thanks in every possible giveaway. But... said user never comments on forum, never contribute to chat in form of talking and - most sad part of it all - never ever plays won games. At all. Heck, even so called "silent leechers" are better. Majority of them will play the hell out of freebie or at least they will try to.

Shortly, there is no actual difference between contributors and non-contributors. It is not your profile, but rather your behaviour what makes you either magnificent or loathsome person. You always got a chance to change that and you don't have to make giveaways for that.

Stay cool. I love you.

Quick! Get out of 2 giveaways, give away $12.60 more, delete 1236 comments and unwin a game. Your profile will then be perfectly evil.

I profusely agree. That said, I see a lot of positive responses. I might be a pessimist but I have the feeling that if the author of this thread was someone with no contributions, there would be a lot more of negative posts, some of them with the literacy level of "ololol u mad leecher?" Maybe because I've seen it happen before.

I'm a really minor contributor myself and I don't hate either side. This site is SteamGifts and a gift is something free. Every member of it should have a chance to win games. Not everybody has a situation that allows them to buy games. Neither games for themselves, nor gifts to share here. I see this website as a chance for those people to actually get something they want that they couldn't have otherwise. They should never be looked down upon for that...

And contributors... Well... you have to respect the people who give you the opportunity to win the games. How can you be on this site and look down upon them if they're the people that make this site work? They don't get anything for giving you a game. Except of course a chance to enter more contributor giveaways. But I don't think that's the real reason they do it. They really invest much more in contributing than they can possibly gain from being able to access contributor giveaways.

Hichigo is right.

I love you. :D

Told you quite a number of times, being hipster today is mainstream already. That is not a reason of my changing point of view.
Also, there's more than "should thank upon entering".

I just hate it when I see people being outright told to shut up because they're not contributors. I don't remember this site having a policy of your opinion and thoughts not being welcome unless you pay money first, and if that was the policy I wouldn't have come here at all.

I believe it mostly happens when someone complains about contributor's giveaways but never contributed anything. But there are jerks in every circles...

Or when complaining about the general elitism contributors can have. Or when protesting that they're not leechers. Or just in completely random, unrelated topics; I've personally seen it happen.

This has never happened to me and I've been an active member for a half a year..

Also I've have seen it happen to other people, but that's only when they complain (and make horrible suggestions) as Zomby2D said.

Edit: Or when they try to make contributor only giveaway groups.

people can make their profile private so that profile stalking is questionable imo.. Still I gotta say a "proper" contributor with legit games shared is most of the time better than a noncontributor, I see them with thousand of entries and less than 100 comments all the time..

I don't get the picture, where is the dick contributor...?

Otherwise I agree with you, of course they could be dicks and non-contributors can be fine, but I don't get your example.

A bigger dick move would be to make all your giveaways end on 1 penny

eg

5.01
6.01 etc

Not really. Almost every game is like that - 19.99$, 49.99$, 4.99$, etc.

Lub u 2 hichigo :D...
Well I agree that many contributors are or can be dicks as you say but...(Thats how far my thought process got until I went blank and forgot what I wanted to say -_-) So in other words Ponies!

Never expect everyone to like you, just the same as one is not going to like every single person they meet. Its just human nature that some people want to have a status that makes them feel better than others. So its normal to have a few dicks swinging around pissing off others.

I've been lucky enough to run into individuals who are fun to chat with, and a few that can be a bit disrespectful but its normal.
Its just balance.

So whats my point? hmm I have none :D just wanted to waist your time :) (If you got something out of this, then what would be my point :D)
