Right now the Steamgifts steam group is public, which is nice and all. The problem being that it's just being spammed with people begging for invites.

Perhaps the group should go private and all members of/joining steamgifts.com be invited. It would allow the group to be acutally used by people who have decent things to say instead of idiots spamming it all day long.

Thoughts, comments, death threats?

Everytime you spam a topic, Sean Connery dismembers a kitten.
So please everyone, get your spammers spayed or neutered.

This is a great idea especially now considering that registration is disabled. It'll cut down on the massive begging that scares away most members like GLaPOS and drives mods like Cult insane.

This is an interesting idea, but that's what caused people to beg and sell invites in the first place.

I didn't even know there was a Steam group for SG. I guess I'll join it.

+1 on going private as well, just like the website.

Why is it open to non-members for starters?

it would need to be invite only if the other way.

-1. If the Steam Group goes private there will be people requesting group invites...everywhere, and those wanting invites to the site will start bugging members of the group moreso than is happening currently.

I agree having it open its a better honeytrap to catch beggers and get them on our radar more easily then if the group were private. Cult's already got his favorite group of beggers he likes to ban from chat.

What if we have 2 groups, one for invites as proving grounds, and one invite only?

That's not a bad idea. We could close the current one and just provide a link in the group profile to the other one for beggars.

W-why are people typing +1? Is this some infiltration of Youtube and Google Plus, or did everyone just imitate the person before them that said +1? I know it's easier to just type +1, but it makes me feel as though I'm in a room with a crowd of numbers, not people.

I think "+1" is layman for "I completely agree with thread" given that no further suggestions are added post addition.

Since the site is already linked to your steam account couldn't it be automatic? I don't know that much about how the groups are handled but it doesn't seem that hard.
