Which giveaway level do you usually use?
One or zero because there are some cool low levels and I usually don't give a shit who gets my ga's. For the ones I do, I usuallyusually restrict them with groups.

Level 3-4. It's low enough to give a chance to people who give, but not too high so that it's exclusive to big contributors.
But honestly, I tend to jump between Level 0 and Level 4.

flash GAs to quickly get rid of some spare bundle keys - 6-7, better stuff or longer GAs - even higher levels, I quite like making lvl 10 gibs ;) recently tried dropping some lvl 2 ones and were very dissapointed, mostly entered by bots with crazy-bad ratios, so no, no public low levels from me in any time soon.

Well, the selfish side of me says lvl 5, since I'm a lvl 5 and that gives me the highest chances. But overall I'm fine with lower lvl GAs too, since I still enter in them.
For games that I think have a higher value in my eyes, (not the actual monetary value) I will always make them higher level too, since I'd like to share those games with more generous people.

I just like to stick with 1. I figure once someone's at least contributed a little something, they're good to go.

Usually 4 or 5, sometimes 6. Lower if I think fewer people will want the game.

I find 2 to be a good balance between not letting just any leecher enter and not excluding too many people from giveaways that are mostly bundle leftovers and nothing special.

I think people should be incentivized to give stuff themselves, so I generally keep it at either 4 or 5. It's not impossibly high to get to with just a little bit of effort while also attempting to stay out of leecher/bot territory. It's worked out well so far for me. Since I started upping the level, my GA's have had way better odds for people entering and no rule-breakers have won, so that's nice.

Four group giveaways, usually level 0, rarely level 1. For public ones, I'm starting to make them level 1+ because level 0 leechers are no good, and I always kept having to reroll people who didn't activate their wins. Weeding out the level 0's seems to help. I won't really go higher than level 1 though because I'm only level 3.

At the moment I mostly follow something like this, but sometimes change it up:
Public giveaway of a bundled gift = no level
Public giveaway of a non bundled gift = Usually 5-7, occasionally higher
Public giveaway of a bundled key = usually at level 4, sometimes as low as 3
Public giveaway of non-bundled key = Usually somewhere between 5 and 7
Private (forum) giveaway = Mostly 2+, sometimes 1+ or no level

the poll winning 5-7 is pretty fair for most gibs that are only moderately bundled (bundled 1-3 times) or nonbundles
if the game has been bundled 4-6+ times then maybe adjust down to a lower lvl group
or if its a high dollar non-bundle game then maybe adjust it up a bit to the even higher lvl groups
this is prob what i do most generally regardless of public or private or even flash or not.

So bundles used to only get you so far in terms of CV but obviously CV calculations have changed. So my question is what in your opinion are good level(s) of entry (like what's a good general level, moderate gifter, heavy gifter, etc) so that I may better tailor giveaways assuming the system isn't just skewed and broken? :o Poll is an extra standalone question~
And no there aren't any giveaways incoming so don't bias your answer ahem x.,x
