Steam Sync and Cheating

Do not call out users, write a support ticket.

you should better write to support and dont call names in the forum.

Send a ticket to support about him instead.

Support -> Submit a Question and report him

Yeah. I thought about that also. I am checking the winners profile always, when I've create a giveaway.
In my opinion SG should delete the option to synch the account manualy and create an automatic-synch instead of it. (All 5hours or suchlike)...
Try to contact the support and tell them your idea/issue

there are also lots of issues with acc sync and giveaways..for example lots of ppl have problems to enter ga for shogun2 dlc, even when they have the main game and on the other side i for example can enter ck2 expansions like sword of islam, rome etc. even i own them allready...so better always check the winners games-inventory.

I think SG should sync the account automatically.
Maybe someone have a game,let's say for example : CS GO and enter a giveaway with the same game --by mistake!!!!
If he wins, my opinion is that he should GET the game...maybe it's his 1000+ giveaway and his first win...it's not his problem , he won.
It's a sync problem.

Syncing isn't "free". It takes time and bandwidth. If it automatically synced every time someone entered a giveaway, that would really add up.

I missed the username :((
Now I don't know who you're talking about :((

Are there any hard numbers about how often this kind of thing actually happens? I see people complaining about it a lot, but most of the time its just hypotheticals. I dunno, without a systemic amount of real cases it seems like the system as it is works pretty well.

for those with a private profile it already has an automatic mandatory sync(gotta do it every week or so, if you don't you lose the ability to use steamgfits or enter giveaways).
I'm a complete noob whos only been here a few weeks and I know it makes you sync.

a better thing to say(since the above suggestion already is) would be that it should flag anything confirmed as received one week to be checked against the next week's sync data.(so if you win wednesday, sync friday, mark as received tuesday and sync thursday it'll know if you redeemed the key or traded it away.

or if thats too much more of a load than what it already does to keep you from entering givaways you already own(you only check whats new and only once but thres alot of people so depending on how it stores things?), could just compromise and make the data available for support/mods so it can get checked if the guy gets reported or does something suspicious(win today give same tomorrow with private profile). or if that'd waste too much mod time could just make the owned list showable or something i donno(it'd let you show what you have as of last sync without having to expose your actual steam account so requests to confirm key use would seem less invasive).

I have TQ in my account and TBoI as well, and i can enter TQ's and TBoI's giveaways. I guess it ends up by honesty of the enterer.
