"no one has been banned for using this script since the beginning of April"
Actually I was banned two days ago.

I'll remove that bit of text from the OP. Bans still seem to be somewhat rare, but I don't want to give anyone a false sense of security.

Any help for folks who refuse to sign up to Twitter just for gleam?

At one time it was actually possible to complete Twitter entries without a Twitter account: https://github.com/Citrinate/gleamSolver/issues/5 (summary)
I'm not sure if this is still possible though.

Now it's broken. You have to write your twitter-username. Very sad.
Maybe there is a workaroud?

You can click onto the Twitter account they want you to follow, and copy and paste a user from their followers list. Usually the first person on the list will have followed all the accounts you need for the giveaway.

I'm no longer supporting/updating the Gleam auto-solver script. It's very likely to break as Gleam makes changes to their site.

Previous versions of this thread included links to a Gleam auto-solver script which people were banned for using. I'm aware of no one who has ever been banned for using the script currently linked to, and I don't believe it's likely to ever happen.
It is against the terms of service to:
Modify, adapt or hack the Gleam Site or falsely imply that some other site is associated with Gleam Site
This is the only part of the TOS that I believe might target this script. It should be important to realize that Ad blocking extensions and privacy extensions like "Ghostery" or "Disconnect" also violate this part of the TOS. I'm sure there's a whole slew of other browser extensions and scripts to do so aswell.
Like most terms of service, Gleam's TOS has a number of catch-alls like this which allow them to ban you at any time for any or no reason.
This script is now 3 months old and has been visited by thousands of people. Gleam has been aware of this script ever since it was released.

it will be great help if helper script can read the answer for the question and display it, or it is againts their TOS....??
some raffle wants us to install app/games to read the answer

Earlier versions of this script would actually display how many Steam Keys were being given away, and how many Steam Keys were left. Gleam didn't like that people were able to see this information on their browsers, and so they broke that functionality.
If I were to show the answers with this script, the same thing could happen, and then there would be no workaround.

Is the Gleam.helper script still working? It hasn't been working for me on my end and I know it hasn't been updated in months but was curious.
Also, any interest in scripting up something to help and/or autosolve www.gimme.one giveaways (since they [USG/REX] just copied gleams idea anyways)?

I haven't been having problems with the helper script, though it's rare that I get a chance to use it anymore.
The motivation behind this script was that Gleam giveaways were common, they tended to had too many entry requirements, and frequently enough the Steam keys given away were for games I didn't have. None of the giveaway sites that've popped up to replace Gleam have met all of those conditions for me.

Yeah, there definitely aren't anywhere near as many Gleam gibs because of the TOS change -- no more Steam group join requirements (although you can still ask them to join and provide the Steam group link). I've had lots of issues where Twitter "Unfollow" doesn't show up and "Delete Tweet" results in "Steam helper could not find tweet" [to delete].
Still you helped me get a lot of free games, even with the 1-month long ban I had for using the solver script xD, and I want to extend my eternal gratitude to you good sir. :D

Any chance to update this, and add automatic youtube subscribe buttons?
Comment has been collapsed.
There are some giveaway creators who actually check if you're subscribed until the giveaway's end, So, it would still be nice.

Could you give me a link to one of these giveaways?
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, I don't have the giveaway links here because it has been awhile.
Comment has been collapsed.
He meant when the Gleam giveaway is a raffle (ends in some days, not automatic key drop). The GA creator will have time to check if you fulfilled the tasks or not. Though the best solution imho is to have dummy accounts just for those giveaways

Edit: Previous versions of this post included links to a Gleam auto-solver script. I'm no longer supporting that script and I don't recommend that anyone use it.
