I was promised I-VI but then I only got to vote on I-IV, this must be the toxicity corroding the numbers.

Coming here just to try to win games is perfectly OK and fine with the rules. Yet so-called "leechers" are hated here. People that are not making giveaways are treated much worse than the rest. Sometimes even having a win/give ratio lower than 1:1 is treated poorly. It certainly is a little toxic.

I agree, and I have an easy solution when it comes to my own giveaways. I give games away at lots of minimum levels, but I VERY rarely create Level 0 giveaways.
It takes VERY little to reach level 1 (and not much to reach level 2), so I feel no guilt about shutting out the Level 0 members from my own giveaways (I think I've created a few L0 giveaways, primarily for stuff that I didn't think there'd be much demand for, but not many)
I don't treat anyone poorly for it, though. They just tend not to see my giveaways. I see no need to be mean about it.

This is the easy solution. I give away to the people who gave away atleast as much as I gave away. My own Steamgifts level is the minimum to enter my giveaways. Whenever I increase in level, the minimum level to enter my giveaways also increases.

ouch. i mean, kind of lesson learnt.
is just that i don't find word "leecher" offensive, here at SG (cause of huge numbers). and i openly use it :P
i'll try to limit that to 0
even having a win/give ratio lower than 1:1 is treated poorly
so very true. and it doesn't make SG any better...
thanks for sharing

It depends on the type of leecher.
Say an account has 1500 games won, 2 free games given away, level 0, they never even post on the site. They win one of your giveaways, are logged in every single day, but don't bother to activate the win for an entire week. When they do activate, they don't even say thank you. THAT is a leecher and no one likes people like that. They're very possibly using bots to enter giveaways as well.
I agree that it's snobby to judge people on their won/sent ratio when they are contributing in some way to the community. I count posting on the forums and being a decent human being contributing, not just people who give away lots of games. Without people to come here and make posts, there wouldn't be a community. :)

I agree with everything you've said 110%.
Calling people "leech" or "leecher" on a game gifting site is (at the very least) disturbing, and for me, it shows the true colors of the people using those terms in a derogatory manner. If people want to avoid a person or a particular group, there are ways to do it without name-calling and degrading them on top of it. Most typically when someone uses those terms, it's to assert a (false) sense of superiority over someone else here or make themselves feel good about their own motive for giving.

Mods are doing a great job. The first year I was here saw a lot of bad arguing on the discussions. So kudos to them.

There is such a thing as doing too much though. I personally feel SG got worse moderation-wise in the last year or so due to a few of the mods trying too hard to enforce rules (that sometimes aren't even there).

I'm slightly toxic so 3-2 (that outside steamgifts). Of course, different communities create different behaviours.

Compared to every chat or forum toxicity here is zero.

Checked the wikipedia link because I'm too curious for my own good. Haha, well played, you got a laugh out of me. Still, why not? It's as appropriate a scale as any other. :)

Well, there are always some toxic people in everwhere, so i am gonna go with 3. Pretty close to 4 tho.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well to be human means to have flaws. I don't know about you guys but I prefer people over bots. I'm only human
A 3 is still a grade A to me.

Let's try to quantify the fun here next time! :P
Fun is quantified in terms of the amount of money that people are willing to pay in order to have a particular type of fun. This scale works especially well if everybody starts off with exactly the same amount of money. (Source: Reddit)
Hmm, or does that mean all the bots and auto-joiners have the most fun here spending all their points all the time? 🤔

Toxicity of humanity coming to this site?
9 to 10 non-toxic people.
One toxic person in 10 people.
Common Internet standard thresholds.
cat III :: Slightly toxic
Toxic human ?
[NSFW]
My eyes hurt.
My heart hurts.
The pain and movement of the stomach ache.
And the person who is doing the cheating pretends fairness.
In a recent survey, about half of the participants in the Rank 1 GA have a suspected criminal record.
Perhaps a few people are taking up bacterial and viral DNA, dividing and propagating.
Information source? Sometimes in my GA, investigate with SGtools! There are things that are posted. It is from there.
Neither truth nor reality is kind to the heart.
There will be people who say poison and also medicine.ε-(´･Θ･`)
Toxicity may be enjoyed with a "coffee taste" or "sugar taste" if it is "little"..☕🥒
Hey you? Salt is also poison, isn't it?
Hey you? Is water poisonous too?
Hey you? All substances are poisonous if there are too many.(｣･Θ･)｣
Is this not humanity's common sense?【Thinking】( ´･ω･)´･ω)(Θ･(･ω･ )

Lethal dose of cucumbers?
I heard about 5kg of basilica would kill you.
Comment has been collapsed.
I feel that the question from you was the second time in my life.
σ(-Θ-` )ooO(i forget?)
Food dioxin concentration of cucumber seems to be 0.007pg TEQ / g (average)
WHO guideline value 1 to 4 pg TEQ / kg body weight / day
Even if you eat 1 kg of cucumber, 7 pg of dioxin
Humanity will not eat so much at one time.
Before that ... with moisture.🚽･.:+:(´Θ`)So... Happy Nature:+:.･

It depends on what one defines toxic as. If one things that calling names or sharing a general opinion is toxic, boy I got a news for them.
You see, if one is a kind of person who feeds the troll (the actual trolls, as per the old definition, not the new definition - I don't agree with you so
- trolls), they will feel that the troll is being toxic to them.

Compared to other parts of the internet this might as well be considered a safe haven. I mean, sure there's the occasional mess of a thread but it can be weeks between them.
The leecher witch hunts and shaming can be a tad petty tho.

I'm going with Cat III. I generally find the toxicity level here to be quite low. There's definitely some, as with any place on the internet, but most people seem friendly and polite, as long as you treat them in a friendly and polite manner.

We cannot breath a forum, even if you would all fart at the same time, I still wouldn't smell it.

SG is among the best communities on the web, very low on toxicity apart from the usual suspects (being a select few who appear to constantly start trouble everywhere they go). But as with all things, "toxicity" is subjective, and varies based on each person's previous experiences. If you've been in really shitty communities, you'll feel like SG is paradise on the web.
Of course, I don't fully exclude myself from toxicity - I've given my share of toxic behaviour, more often not on purpose, but still. It's hard to be agreeable with everyone in very large online communities due to conflicting opinions, emotions and interests. I'm just glad such behaviour is mostly a rare sight on the SG forum, to my knowledge.

Someone puts up a giveaway for a non-Steam game.
I warn them and go as far as to quote the FAQ about how this site is for Steam games only and that it will get the winner suspended.
"WHY ARE YOU SO MAD!?"
Winner got suspended for marking the win as "received" but not having the game activated on their account.
Blacklisted by giveaway creator. (ツ)
Had a list of keys with a couple I hand typed out from an image.
User won and the key didn't activate.
"YOU'RE A SCAMMER, REPORTED"
Literally a typo and fixed instantly.

Rate the air you're breathing here around!
In the poll below you'll find the US Toxicity category rating, starting from category I (most toxic) to VI (the non toxic).
...You may also change the vote, later, if you feel toxicity level is at a lower / higher category
all votes are welcome, but sgifters that usually stay out of Discussions, are more than welcome.
- - Try to not limit your rating cause of a single comment, or reacting to a blacklist or two... Get a more general sense sniffing Discussions and all Steamgifts - -
The four toxicity categories, from one to four are [wikipedia]:
