Screenshots are answers from discussion on Steam about being unexpectedly banned. Before you ask - yes there are people who were banned for auto-joining only wishlisted gibs.

EDIT 1: I'd like to request to not have any kind of sexual intercourse with other users especially with auto-joiners in this thread :P
EDIT 2: I know I'm posting it a little too late but please discuss with respect or I will close the thread. It wasn't meant to spread hate towards some users so don't do it, pretty please. And don't blacklist too many people :P There are some nice users who use auto-join too. And they even don't have a chance to discuss cos they are simply afraid of you. And hate and fear always cause the worst things that are happening to mankind. Think about it.

Is it a good change?

Yes .
No.
I don't really care about it.

I'm too lazy to go to the steam group, read all the complaints about being banned, and blacklist every one of those fuckers.
But if someone wants to make a script for it...

...it would be against the rules to share/post/spread it, rite? :3

Besides, Steamgifts-blacklisting everybody I could from my Steam block list took, well, a long time, even with some scripting.

Why, oh why, was it only 24 hours?

This may be the best steamgifts thread I've ever seen, but it needs more salt. :)

How to profit from this whole situation:

  1. Go to SG Steam group.
  2. Seek out the ones posting about 'being unfairly suspended'
  3. Blacklist them on SG.
  4. ???
  5. PROFIT!

Do these scripts attempt to enter even when there are no points available at the time of requesting?
I'm assuming if everyone is assigning a script to auto-join every 15 to 30 minutes, and continues to request after points have run out, then it's just insane unnecessary load on the servers.

As long as I won't be banned for entering giveaways too slowly I'm okay with this change:-)

good. I have hidden so many games that autojoining would be pointless anyway.

The entitlement in this thread reminded me why I make so few public giveaways now, and why I put a considerably high level requirement when I decide to make one (even though level 0 forum gibs seem more effective than 7+ public ones - to be expected, I guess)

I don't know and I'm to lazy to figure out what autojoin is but I wanted to say that I like your edits

Edit: Figured it out. For some reason I thought it was about steam and not this site...

Does this mean that browser scripts like "extended steamgifts" or "easy steamgifts" are also not allowed?

These scripts add an enter button on every active giveaway.

Not sure. I'd guess not but it would be nice if somebody from support would confirm that.

I dont use Auto-Joiner, and didn't even know what it did until now, but at least we know who uses it now because the people who use it complained
Edit: Also, I'm glad this happened and I hope they can keep this up and block auto joiners for a while. At least it gives us a higher chance of winning games.
