Why not definetly ban them from the site instead of just 'suspending' them?

It's so annoying to see people entering and winning giveaways just to see them regifting what they won saying 'I won by accident' 'I'm not interested'.. expecially when lots of other people really wanted that particular game but didn't win.

What do you think?

+1 Regifting means that they really do not want that game. They take part in giveaway and low down a chance of member who really want to play it, but do not have possibilities to buy.

Well, re-gifting also means they benefit by turning around the game / key and raising the dollar value of their contribution, thus giving them access to select giveaways.

They can be, but aren't regifting bans pretty short?

Ummm... Winning an indie bundle and then gifting the keys that you already own is not "regifting" and I'm pretty sure is not against the rules.

It is against the rules because you cannot own any of the games in the bundle you're entering.

i think that's not true, only if the giveaway have special info on that.

"Winnings must be redeemed on the winning account."
You must activate all the keys you win. You can't chop and choose which games you do or don't want and then regift them for contributor points.
Edit: I see what you meant. I'm talking about people who regift the keys but don't already have it activated on their account. People who regift the entire bundle, or as I said, take one game and regift the rest.

I agree, there should be serious consequences for regifting. Regifters need to be made an example of so people read the FAQ before "using" the site.

No offense, but I'm glad you're not the leader of a country. "We need to make an example of lawbreakers! Maximum punishment - death sentence for all!"

If it's the first offense, suspend. If done again, by all means ban permanently.

Alright alright, a permanent ban on the first re-gift is a bit harsh. But they do it again and they should absolutely be out for good.

The funny thing is, I've actually thought about ruling a country. Being from the UK, it's ridiculous what people get away with. They get sent to prison and then get released and then do it all again. Crimes should carry more severe punishment, longer time in prison and of course capital punishment for murder in the first degree and other unforgivable crimes. I honestly think human rights is a load of shit too.

People will think twice about shoplifting if you get your hands chopped off as a consequence. It's worked well in Saudi Arabia for a long time ^^

I'm not religious or one of those conspiracy theorists either. I simply look at a situation and consider the long term and short term effects. Fear is not what I'm looking for, but it's one of the only things that will keep crime in check given our savage nature.

I agree 100% with you. I really hate regifters, they abuse the system for their own unjust benefit >:(

Because everyone deserves a second chance. If they do it once, get banned, and do it again, then they deserve it.

I agree with this, it's really quite sad as a gifter to see someone just send away what you gave them. Especially if it's something really quite high in value. :|
