Bundled games
From [FAQ]()
I created and completed a giveaway and the winner has marked it as received, but my contributor value isn't rising. Is there something wrong?
No, absolutely not. There're three reasons this might be happening. The first is simply solved by waiting. There is a delay of up to twenty minutes before your value changes and it will update shortly. The second is that single entry giveaways do not count towards your contribution value. Because they only got one entry, they are not considered as a raffle, but rather a direct gift. The other is due to having too many bundle games given away. Your contributor value will be locked until you submit further giveaways that are not from bundles and will continue to rise gradually until the full value has been reached. For more information on how values are calculated when bundle games are involved, please check this thread.http://www.steamgifts.com/forum/91wob/faq-and-guidelines

That's stupid, why would they discourage giveaways. Just because I received it in a bundle, it's somehow worth less? The reason I'm giving it away is because I received a spare copy from the bundle, I'll gladly drop it somewhere else if they don't want it here

It's so you don't get $200 CV for $1 bundles.
It's not to discourage giveaways. It's to encourage people to give more non-bundled games. If anything, it encourages bundle giveaways as well, because in the past you didn't get ANY sort of incentive at all to giveaway games.

The giveaways are an inconvenience, The only reason I created one rather than dropping it in the forums was so I'd be able to enter the contributor giveaways. I've probably dropped at least 10 keys in the forums now, and I'm probably just gonna do that from now on

Ah, I understand what you mean very well. When you make a bunch of giveaways at once, it's such a pain sending each one out. If you think dropping keys in the forums is good enough, might as well do so!

I like how you can just leave the code, and be done with it. I had to wait 3 days for the winner of the giveaway to answer, and some issue with his email caused the key to be redeemed without him getting it. Now I need to contact humble bundle to get it sorted out, it's just a big pain in my ass

Don't be silly.
Nobody is discouraging giveaways. If you look at the number of entries for bundle games, they certainly aren't "unwanted" by the site's membership. Just don't expect to get the same bonus perks (ie points) as games that haven't been in bundles, so are therefore in shorter supply and required more money [usually] to acquire. While this isn't always the case, non-bundle games tend to be games that people have specifically spent a wedge of cash on for the sole purpose of creating a giveaway, rather than bundle extras...

This is the first time I have seen that slang, no need to search on urbandictionary, it's so... perfect :3

All the games you've given away have been bundle games. Once you hit $30 you don't get CV for them.

You gave away about 15 cents worth of games and got credited $30.
That's a pretty good value!

Don't listen to this guy. He's just butthurt about stuff.
Not gonna bother posting his other threads and comments, not worth my time.

Thanks for the hidden giveaway, and the warning regarding this site's impending death.

For a "good" person you sure seem to spew a lot of hate.
Calling people d-bags and other names. Using homophobic slurs. Telling people they are going to hell because you don't like what they said to you. Trying to get donations of cards and items so that you could "give to charity" when it clearly states no begging (and yes, asking for donations is begging). And of course going on rant after rant after rant about how the CV system is unfair even after the topics you started on them were closed.
If you were really a good person as you seem to claim, you would just stop all this crap and grow up. If you are actually an adult, well you still need to grow up.
