I like "Only people with X amount of months of registration can send invites"
I don't like the removal of point system.
The scammer problem cannot be solved even like that, since it is still depended on human factor (the creator of the giveaway)

Yes, it's human factor. Site owners could create a popup window/warning box under the winner saying them to check user ID, the warning stays there until the gift is given.

That works too, but this had to be removed from both front pages and giveaway page.

the max number of points, as it is, just serves to balance out habits as far as entries. Someone might keep their points close to nil by entering a few giveaways a day. Or they might let them buildup and enter many more after say... a week. They're still entering just as much, It's just more obvious when the 300 pointers are dumping them all at once.

Invites:
or
Gifts:
and
Scammers:
People can fake user picture and account title. They can't however, fake account ID. Because it is already in use.
Example:
My account ID is iESCUDO
So this is the link: http://steamcommunity.com/id/iESCUDO/
Let's suppose i win something, account ID is iESCUDO, nick is ESCUDO.
ESCUDO wins.
Scammer fakes account name to ESCUDO and copies account image.
Scammer can't fake ID
Gifter is contacted by scammer, Gifter goes to giveaway page and clicks the winner's link. In winner's profile clicks on "Click here" which is in front of "Steam Profile", checks winner's ID, compares with scammer's profile ID. Scammer is caught.
Even if the ID is numbers, they won't change because it's the account "number".
