We are giving away games for people who like to play it. Or at least have it. If someone re-gift their prize, or trade it away - it's a serious violation, I believe. So, I suggest:

  1. If user marked game as received, and don't have it on account - he should be banned permanently* instead of 5 days.
  2. If it's a first time violation, user can activate game to his account retroactively, contact support and ask for unban. We all can make mistakes.
  3. If it's not a first time - the user have no right for amnesty.

I really believe that this would make our site better.

EDIT: I've read comments, and I feel I should explain more about the idea.
If someone made mistake, but fixed it afterwards - he should be forgiven (at least for first few of this mistakes). I mean, if user activated the gift he didn't activate before - he is all right. If he traded the gift away, he can always buy new to activate. I don't think that asking for this is too much.

BUT if user didn't fixed mistake, but just wait for a few days - that's not a reason to forgive him. It's a matter of good will, not a matter of time.

*EDIT2. When I say permanently - I mean "for unlimited period of time, before he activate missing games". So, it's really permanent only in the case user don't want to fix his mistakes.

Do you think ban for non-actibating gifts should be permanent?

Yes, this is serious violation
No, its fine as it's now
Other option(would write in topic).
  1. So by this implementation if I would never mark as "received" (un/intentionally) I wouldn't ever get banned for this reason? It sounds more like you wanna let people to fear that button.
  2. This way it encourages re-gifters to not mark as received since they can easily avoid this penalty.

So in this case bad sort will get their way and it only gets worse for good people that just made genuine mistake or forgot to double check something.
