About Auto-Join scripts > Anonymous Poll

I rock the auto-potato script v1.3.

But to be serious, no, I don't use a script. Where's the fun in using one?

I used to, for a week or so when I first joined as a dirty dirty leecher.

I don't... I'm not a hoarder and most of my wishlist games have always 1.000+ entries so chances to win are close to 0

actually this poll is so wrong because most of those people are banned by now xD

By my calculations 50% of people use scripts, because they either use it, or they don't. Did I mention I wasn't good at math ?

I used 1 script for my wishlist but then i got banned. now i don't use it anymore i didn't know that they aren't allowed.

As a person who latelty barelly visits this site because I'm really bitter about many things here, I would like to say that all the people who use them should have their accounts banned. If someone who use them see my post, please know - you are one of many things that are wrong with this site and I hope you will never win anything again.

It seems only people using them ridiculously are getting hit, people who just join as many as they can at the push of a button, if they were just joining a few by wishlist a few times a day, I doubt they would be bothered by it.

Joining over 100 giveaways in just a few seconds is negative for the site as a whole, so entirely need to stop shit like that.

I'm assuming it's still fine to use the ones that just add a button next to the giveaways to just enter them as you go down the page rather than going into every one. I have a script that does that.

Never did never will :p

I wanna be honest, but I can't.... I fear the blacklists.

This seems to be a hot topic right now.
I am curious and would like to hear what CG thinks about it (and no, not user speculation about what CG thinks).

I guess auto-joiners would hardly check the discussion part here.

I didn't even know they existed (I'm not surprised though, just didn't really think about it )

I searched this "auto script" theres just 1 feature I would love to see here instead of the script

That nice little button to join from the main page

I don't care about auto-joiners. I didn't know even it existed prior the famous 24h ban. And even knowing of their existences, I'll will not use these scripts.

As for the percentage, I wouldn't be surprised if the reality was close too that. However, I wouldn't be surprised if the poll revealed that the majority of the users reading the forums/active in them aren't using these scripts.

I have auto-join script instaled, but not using it. Join every game is stupid, I dont have so much points. And wishlist is... I want every game I dont own, so I buying almost every bundle. Editing wishlist is another stupid thing.

I use auto join script.
Dunno,first time i registered here,i didnt have a job,i remember barely making a 100$ value on steam to just register here.
I also remember excitement once i got the The Ship game,which held for as long as it took me to realise none else was playing it :D
Anyways,after that i used Tremor games to earn games and to give them here.
After i started working,i bought tons of CS GO and gave them away here.
And thats about it.
Job took over,i stopped doing forums as much,i remember playing Trivia every weekend on chat,and then work got in front of that too.
I won XCOM on trivia thingy,still my best moment here on this site.Alas,i didnt like the game at all so no big play time :(
Anyways,i have no preference for games.My PC is kinda old,i cant play newer games.
If autoclicker managed to filter out games that are 'over <year>" i would use that feature.
This way,i mostly get random games which are not popular amongst others (low entry rate)
Which mostly means weird little games which are not as known.

I only play like CS GO with my friends from work,and then,i play some of these games i win if they get me hooked in on first 20,30 mins.
Time mysteries has been a great series which i had no clue about until i won them here.
Vox populi,Qora,Symphony(my god what a combination,music and gameplay),Kingdom Rush,One finger death punch, DEADLY 30(game broken as fuck,but still wanted to play and finish it ).
Right now im playing Pixel Puzzles:Undead Z,which i won like 1 or 2 weeks ago but tried playing just yesterday.
TONS OF FUN.Im set to finish it completely. Big THANKS TO A GESNIPER FOR GIVING SUCH FUN GAME.

So,basically,i would've never known about those little games if i havent won them here.I bought some AAA titles,havent played them at all.
If i win a game,im more likely to give it a go due to some 'obligation' i feel about the game.Not saying i give them all a go after i win them.I forgot about some of them,and some of them are just not the type of games i enjoy at all(and cant filter out).

About thanks stuff,i personally never cared about it when i was giving away stuff.
Felt so strange that i should obligate peeps to say thanks on my giveaway.I didnt whitelist those who did,nor i blacklisted those who didnt say thanks.
I didnt care even if a winner didnt thank me afterwards.I wanted to give a game,i gave it,thats it.Some times i congratulated them on giveaway page.

Still,if i would win a game,i would thanks the the creator every time.
Before it used to be via email,so it felt more personal.Now,u just copy the code and type stuff in giveaway page.Not as 'close' as it was before.

Feel free to ask me anything about stuff i wrote above.I'll try to answer if possible if i dont forget.

TL DR;
I dont see autojoiners as big deal.SG+ tools are here,leechers can be stopped.Big,popular games can be kinda controlled in terms who gets them since its mostly in groups,or puzzles,or SG+
Autojoiners mostly get little weird games where there are little entries ,for which the giveaway creator didnt bother to set up rules to prevent autojoining leechers.
And for that,i thank them.da

edit:
A point or two about 'leeching"
I dont feel like this 'low lvl' stuff that gets won on public giveways is leeching at all.Its mostly stuff none cares about,neither the givers nor the takers.
Some duplicates from repeating bundles,a stuff u dont care about much,so u give it to friend or u give it away.
I feel like leeching is a problem in an area where the stuff that can be leeched is of value to all.U know,big giveaways.
But those mostly happen in groups or whitelists,so that already sorted out.

Nah.I'd have won a lot more than I have if I did, and I know I've already won a lot by some people's reckoning. Using all my points in my waking hours I'm sure I'd be at 500+ wins at leat. Throw a bot into the mix and I'd be at over 1000, comfortably, maybe much more.

who is the best script?
