If you could make ONE change to steamgifts right now, what would it be?

Bumb button for puzzle threads.

One more.

Give away join limit based on amount of giveaways...

a way to give dota 2

I'd half the daily points. I've entered only the giveaways that interest me and I've never been even close to running out of points. If people had less points to spend, they'd enter only the giveaways they'd be actually interested in. As a contributor who actually buys games instead of gives excess keys from bundles, I want my games to end up to people who are likely to play them, not to someone who just collects a backlog.

And to those who can't count: having less points wouldn't mean you had less chances to win, because everyone else also had less points. Giveaways would have less people entering.

There's one thing with group giveaway I don't fully understand. If someone only makes giveaways for certain CLOSED groups, I don't see why can he/she enter public giveaways with high contributor value. I mean, it's really nice of you to giving away those games, but since it only affects people in the group, and the rest of the community never had a chance to win a game from you, maybe you shouldn't enter a public giveaway with, let's say, $800-900 contributor value either. Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about group giveaways generally, but only about these extreme exceptions. And I know I'm not the right guy to talking about these things here, I just think it's something that should be reconsidered. Private giveaways take this "problem" to a whole new level, since you can't be sure if someone made it to his close friends, or just used it for a puzzle giveaway (which is totally fine, because everyone have a fair chance here to begin with).

Get rid of point system, instead allow everyone enter x% of the current public giveaways, based on value (so the site won't be flooded with Fortix). That would remove whining for points, make "fake" giveaways pointless (pun not intended), and make people with OCD to spend points happy.

So for instance, the if current total value of public giveaways is 100000 USD, and x = 0.3, that would reproduce the current 300 point limit, except the current is for unspent points. When Mike goes havoc and creates 10000 USD of giveaways, everyone gets +30 points, basically allowing everyone to enter one or two out of those. If people enter too much / too few giveaways, then x can be tuned accordingly.

If you join someone will come to your house and watches you that you read the faq and asks questions so they know you understand the site.
After this procedure the person is allowed to join SG.

but seriously just raise the worth of account for joining to $250 and after creating an account show them in big letters that if you create a giveaway you need to give the game to the winner also show them how to enter giveaways and a countdown from something like 24 hours after that you can activate your account

I would like to see more stats. This includes a ranking system where you can see who has entered the most giveaways, most wins etc :)

Make an option to filter out DLC for games I do not have. So no more 'missing base game' giveaways will show up.

increase point limit or decrease the points you get for giveaways.
Right now everyday I'm at the 300 point limit after I come back from work.

Second decrease contributor value of games which where already once in a deal.

Third auto-disable DLC of a game I doesn't own. And no it doesn't work with the add-on.

I would like to have a Private Message system, it would be usefull for many thing and could be used to send keys to winners.

I would like it to show me the sites selling the bundles when steamgifts gets flooded with multiple copies of games.

Change the contribution system. If a game goes on sale for a low price, any giveaway for that game from that point on, only gives you that contributor value for that low price. Previous giveaways are unaffected.

Say a game costs $30 normally, anyone who gives it away here of course gets $30 contri. Now say the game goes on sale for $10. Everyone who makes a giveaway for it from that point on, forever, only gets $10 contri. I'm tired of people mass buying a game on sale just to get a high contri value. I see that as abuse of the system.

I'd love to say when the sale is over put the value of the game back to normal however that will make people just horde their copies until that time, defeating the purpose.

limit the contributor giveaway max. value to enter to $2,000
maybe bring back M2033 with 0,01 value to creator

I would change rules for bundled games. If you have a gift, then you would get full contrib for your game, because you obviously didn't get it in bundle. If you have a key, then bundle rules are on.

Option to automatically remove other entries for game won.

Close the forums forever.

I have red almost every post in this thread and only one question pops into my head: What is wrong with you people? There are ones that want to spy on others profiles, others want to limit the max contributor value, others want better ways to report (to eliminate competition obviously) etc etc. It is all about getting more and more to themselves, almost nothing about giving or the websites overall usability.

Give myself a 100% chance to win for a month ?

Ability to sort "view entries" page. Specifically, filtering only the open entries. Searching for that giveaway you entered 4 weeks ago to cancel it since you won another copy, or to cancel it to get precious points back you require right in the next 30 seconds for that game on your wishlist; not very fun.

I think there are some options that SG could take from Playblink and Gala.

For example, achievement system is better on Playblink. On SG there's too few of them. There could be an option to make a giveaway only for people with the 'unlucky' achievment (1k entries and no win), or 'veteran' achievement (more than a year on SG), or sth like that.

From Gala, SG could take those giveaway options like 'Max players' or the latest 'Extra Odds' feature. I think it would be fun, if a user could 'buy' more entries with his/her points. We have 300 points and there should be an option to 'buy 300 tickets for Fortix'.

TL;DR The more options for giveaway creators, the better.

YOU MUST FINISH A PUZZLE TO ENTER ALL GIVEAWAYS

A filter to avoid all the contributor giveaways.

The only thing I would like to be added is replies in giveaways
