A different way (group?) to give away games?

If you want instant Thanks spammers I hear that user Jessika has a group she/hes starting, you have to have a lot of thanks on your posts though. A LOT.

Sorry that's me being a smarty. There are some nice and more private groups that take appreciation very seriously.

Welcome to the the real world.

Just rude peoples!

Give it to me. I'll thank you for sure.

I even send a thanks email back when delivery is by email, it's common courtesy to do so

Guess you ended up in the deep end, or you didn't do it right. For example, if the first thing you do when someone wins and you add them, is send a trade, you're doing it wrong.

Try making puzzles, you may even get more comments than entries in the giveaway, which I always find nice.

Well, there's Comment Lords. :P

well check around for the private steam gifts groups....

If you can't be bothered to thank someone giving you something you don't deserve it. o.o

The people in my group have been pretty grateful so far, but since mine's an open group I'm bound to run into some of those ungrateful people sooner or later.

Not a lot of people have bothered saying thanks for the things I've given away, though most of them have stuck around on my friends list. Of course, that's not really what I'm looking for when creating giveaways - if I craved gratitude, I'd go up to random strangers on the street and hand them cash.

Actually, you know what, I bet not all of them would say thanks, either. That's life.

welcome to humanity

We just need a blacklist/block feature, something like someone who wanted to do a giveaway to the public but doesnt want some idiot to enter it.

I make competitions on my give aways, get people to say more then thanks in the comments. Choose one comment I liked the most, friend em and give them a copy of the game also. This way I can be far more sure to find someone who will be willing to talk a little after giving them a game.

I've started doing most of my giveaway as Private to forum-goers or Group.

It really helps weed out the people who don't even speak English who just enter all giveaways they can and can't even communicate back to you.

Not that there is a problem with someone not speaking English, it's just I like to be able to talk to the person I'm gifting to rather than feeling like a vending machine.

Also weeds out non-commenting/non-appreciative leeches.
