While I agree with the sentiment of your proposal, I think it would simply be unfair more often than it would be fair. At the time that the a group's member enter a giveaway, that person is still in good standing. Therefore, the entry was made legitimately. Retroactive entry removal only makes sense if a person is breaking rules on Steamgifts - not if a person is banned by a group's moderator (which could have easily been done legitimately or out of petty dislike.)
I understand your frustration (if you're frustrated), but I don't think your proposal would be fair enough, when considering the big picture.

I see what you're getting at, and I agree with you up to a point, but your argument completely falls apart by the fact that you can reroll giveaways if someone is not a part of your group anymore (although idk if it was intended for cases such as mine).

Ah, I didn't know that. Your proposal is completely in line with the site's rules then. I suppose I think you shouldn't be able to re-roll when someone leaves your group then. But yes, if it works the way you just explained, your proposal would simply make things more efficient and save everyone time and effort.
Summary: I'm sort of in favor of your idea now, though I'd slightly prefer to change the rules for re-rolling. I don't feel strongly about that though.

Hello all, I've got a suggestion to the staff here at SteamGifts.
I'm a part of the Steam group Comment Lord Giveaways and I currently have two giveaways ongoing for this group. Our group has one simple rule: comments are king, which means that we want all our members commenting on giveaways, announcements, discussion threads, chat, etc. But as I was looking through the people who entered my giveaways and comparing them to the comments, I found a bunch of people who haven't commented. I took the list of people and checked through all of our old giveaways to see their comment record. I then took the people who had less than a 50% ratio to the mods and got them banned.
Now the issue I bring up is that even after they've been banned those people are still entered in my giveaways. I thought it would be obvious to have them be automatically withdrawn from group giveaways that they are no longer a part of. Part of the reason why I expected this was because one of our members recently got suspended from SteamGifts (for what, I have absolutely no idea), and that person was automatically removed from both of my group giveaways. I would think that it would be extremely simple to implement this as well when people are no longer a part of a group.
I know that if someone who isn't a part of a group anymore wins we can just reroll, but for the convenience of group members who follow the rules I think this should be incorporated. I'd really like to hear the thoughts of the staff here.
