The group is currently closed for new applications. If you apply anyways I am gonna assume you can not read and therefore I have no hope you read the group rules so you will be unable to join the group when it reopens.

Introduction


Playing Appreciated is a group for members that like to play games they win and for giveaway creators that like to see their games getting played. This sounds simple, yet requires commitment and dedication from members by filtering out games they like to play from all group giveaways and when won playing those within one month. In return members will get higher chances of winning games they want and creators will know their giveaways have a high chance of getting played. The group has more than 1000 members and over 25000 historical giveaways.

Group rules


  • You need to set and keep your Steam privacy settings for My profile and Game details public (example);
  • You will play all giveaways you win via this group within one month;
  • When creating a giveaway it is recommended to include a small group rule reminder in your giveaway, something like: "This is a Playing Appreciated giveaway, by joining you commit to playing this game within a month when won.".

More information and detailed rules please see the FAQ.

How to join


You can't join at the moment, we don't accept new members.

  1. Make sure you are not violating any SteamGifts rules;
  2. Comment one of the two options to enter the group in this discussion:
    • Option 1: Showing your commitment by playing a previous won game on SteamGifts that you did not yet play. The game shouldn't be very short and must have achievements. Comment with the name of the game before you start playing it and comment again when you finished playing it. Please upload some screenshots to Steam as well. The game needs to be played in online mode on your own Steam account.
    • Option 2: Supporting the cause by creating a group exclusive giveaway of a game that you would like to see getting played by other group members within a month as soon as your membership request was approved. The game should not have been given away free before (marked by ** when creating a giveaway on SteamGifts).
  3. Press "Request To Join" on our group page;
  4. Wait for us to approve your request, we'll always reply on the comment you have made in this topic.

Hi! I'd like to rejoin if possible. Here are my achievements on the game I was kicked for:
https://steamhunters.com/id/lext/apps/445190/achievements

I also have video recording of the 7 hours of play I did before I was kicked, and the 8.5 hours of play I've done since if that's needed.

Hi lext, you are welcome to rejoin. I have sent you a friend request on Steam so I can reinvite you. Please reply to me here once you accept so I don't forget.

Your removal from a group has been handled by an admin that has been removed from their position since then and from a quick look from me right now at your playtime it looks like to me that it is very possible you shouldn't have been kicked out in the first place. Is your recording of your playtime available somewhere online for me to see and make a better decision on it?

I've accepted the invite. Thank you!

And thank you very, very much for looking into this. I really appreciate it. Here is the video, taken in July/August 2020 before I was kicked. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yp8Q8HnQpM4

Invite to to rejoin the group sent!

Yep, as I was afraid you indeed shouldn't have been kicked out in the first place. I can only apologize for that, sadly not much else I can do at this point :/ Very very sorry about it, I should have kept a better eye out who was getting kicked out and for what.

I've not met the requirements for playing the previously won game at the time of winning, but now it should be fine. I'd like to rejoin.

Yes, exactly. Because the game doesn't have any achievements.
