Add a quiz to the registration process to ENSURE new users understand the basics, with failure to answer correctly booting them RIGHT BACK to the very beginning.

It would also be good to see the sync process being used to verify games won, with users, upon marking games as "received", forced to sync their account before being able to enter any further giveaways. Obviously some games (Galactic Arms) and a lot of DLCs which don't have their own unique Steam IDs would be exempt from this, and the system would also be required to overlook historic non-activated games for which suspensions have already been served.

ok, I'd like (and many others according to support) to have the chance to make multi-group giveaways
I was kindly invited to some groups with many nice people and right now I have to spam SG (Private) links all over the chats, or even pm people (and repeat this process over and over...)
-or- make separate giveaways with 1 game per group which is not a good solution either as games values are not the same and I'd not like people thinking I prefer this group more than the other based on that...
TL;DR: I like pizza and multi-group giveaways feature would be awesome!

A way to jump to the replies I get on the forum.

I'd make the win button easier to find.

I'd like to able to view the comments I've made on the forums. I've had times where I've thought "Now, what was that cool thread I commented in?" or "I wonder if anyone responded to that question I asked earlier?" but I've had trouble finding it again.

I'd really like a comment voting system like Reddit or Youtube has. This would make the "+1" comments disappear.

i want in filtres to select just games what i like

I would like to create giveaways that end when a certain number of people entered instead of when a certain time period has passed.

id like there to be a couple days of being a member to be able to make a giveaway, and/or for the first giveaway you make here there should be an extra one or two warnings on how the site actually works before being able to make it.

let me filter out all the dlc i already have

Some little prizes for the users in example when you reach a milestone like 10 wins or 1.000 entries or something like that system automatically give you some points maybe a badge or if its a really high milestone(like 100 wins or 100 gifts given) there would be a bigger prize like a game or item i dont know that would be nice to make newcomers spend more time and contribute more here and make old members feel special...

how about an auto enter tick box to automatically enter you into raffles for select games
like whenever half life 2 comes up I always enter, it would be nice if it could do that for me

how about limiting the number of possible entrants other than through private or group giveaways, say I want the raffle to end as soon as we have 1,000 entries or something

how about a donate to site option? you give a game to the site to do with as it pleases such as a special site hosted competition or it builds up a collection of copies for a mega giveaway, or possibly consolation prizes for people that have entered thousands of raffles and never won anything

- Multi-group giveaways

- Replies on giveaways listed as "Giveaway Replies" under "Replies" (with a collapsing branching tree design under each giveaway with all comments hierarchically linked)

- Bundle games being adressed properly

i.e. updated timely, and certain games that get spammed for contrib. harvesting due to a ridiculously low price somewhere (such as Ignite) being also factored in to this and having their contrib. value dropped accordingly. Of course this would have to factor in sale durations, and just as suggested before, this "probationary timeframe" in which contrib. value for the game is lower should end after, say, 6 months, so anyone buying and giving it away after that time gets full value

thatisall

Limit the amount of player that can enter the giveaway because some famous games (like Skyrim, COD, etc.) always have more than 5K+ players.5k+ players entering for a single code is simply impossible to win. (in other words, put a player cap on every giveaway so people have better chance to win.)

Everybody gets a complimentary cupcake.

Sadly the only thing I want to see requires a change on Steam's side. It'd be great if there was some kind of safe escrow service for sending and verifying keys. The only way I can see this working though is if Steam allows you to redeem a key into your inventory as opposed to your library.

I would make it so public giveaways have to be sent by email.

organize the forum, could integrate all the networks and separate topics by relevance if we could organize by subs

Also it would be nice if we could send keys to winners instead of having to e-mail like developer giveaways and cg

Free gifts for people who have entered in tons and won none.

I liked this topic. Been awhile since I've used SteamGifts so I thought I'd share this one with you guys.

Clocked in 32 hours and unlocked everything, so I'd say it was a good game. Glad to see you're still kicking around the forums, bobofatt.

I want to see a system where contributors have better luck. But since you said no to that, I think a reply system like what's in steam trades would be nifty.

• A comment liking system.(A +1 on the right side of the comment so people won't have to comment +1)
• Polls in threads. The ability to create polls.
• Signature system in forums, so you could promote your giveaway and always being on topic. :)
• Better Formatting System with more options for text. I don't want BB_Codes because this one is already awesome, but I want m0ar!

This

I know people probably said this already, but more points for people who donates an estimated ammount.

I agree with wbarton regarding option B. There has been one Serious Sam "dev giveaway" lately that seemed suspicious as hell and that person is now entering contributor giveaways which were unavailable for him yesterday.I don't even want to think about it how he aquired those SS key since he's not related to CroTeam or Devolver Digital in any way. People need to provide evidence to support on how exactly did they obtained keys and what was their work/contribution on the game.
