Hi,
first a thanks for the nice giveaway :o)
Please don't take my following words in any way against you. That are not the intention.
I want to please you that you make no "free for all" GA's under lvl 2+ without security measures
It's nothing against the real, nice, friendly players on lvl 0 and 1 but on 0 + 1 are 90% autojoiners, bots and extreme leechers (3 years+ on sg, never given anything out or only 1 GA to be on lvl 1 -to access more with a higher rate- but taken hundreds of GA's).
So i think you feed the wrong people with open for all Giveaway(s) under lvl2 without any security measures.
It give many security measures you can use too. By a part you can avoid the lvl2+ and support all the new/low users without supporting the bots/autojoiners/leechers.
Examples: Forum thread, jigsaw puzzles, puzzles, itstoohard, sgtools, hidden text or links, edited links and so on....
When you want give it out to lvl 0 is it possible without problems.
Only use "invitation only" and Create a Forum Thread.
With this way a lot of the bots, autojoiners and other not so nice people found not the way into your GA's (easiest security measure so not perfect but better then nothing ;o)).
By this way i have no statistic numbers because i saved my thread with sgtools too :o)
When you use sgtools (sgtools.info) you can set rules. Partly set a hook, partly fill in 0.5 or anything like that and when you are experienced you can set custom rules where as example all that own CS:GO can't join your GA or only a fixed number can join your GA or only people with a wishlist smaller as 400 ... or whatever else... the possibilities are very high.
I can say the winners are then real players, no 7 days waiting on a hook, they found the word thanks and the work after the end of the GA is near zero.
I give my stuff mostly out to lvl 1, then i can set a real cv ratio rule too (in my case 0.5 = maximum won double of the given) :o)
ITH = https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/g1nc3/ith2-nov12th-still-top-10-slots-to-fill
Here you can see how you can use Questions.
From "Are you a bot" Questions that can all users solve to Questions that nearly nobody can solve ... you set the difficulty complete by yourself.
Hidden text/links, as example when you link a picture and the picture description shows the 5 digits of a GA (in your GA right now K2CzS)
jigsaw puzzle = http://jigidi.com/
Hope that helps. When you have questions i try to answer them.
Would be great if you think over that and look if any of that stuff fits for you too.
Thanks, happy winning and gifting and have a nice week :o)
friendly regards
Masafor

Alles klar, ich muss mir deine Worte die Tage noch mal in Ruhe durchlesen. :-)

Danke dir.
Und ja war ziemlich viel und da in Englisch auch nicht ganz so ausgedrückt wie ich es wollte.
Versteh es einfach als Möglichkeiten aufzeigen (ob du nach dem lesen was davon andwendest ist deine Sache) -so ist es gemeint :o)- und nicht als "zu was zwingen wollen".
Ich spring trotz lvl0 in den Topf.... bei Total War hab ich gar keine andere Wahl :DDDD g.
Zumal du ne Ländereinschränkung drin hast was die Entries, scheinbar, auch effektiv senkt :o) (denke die meisten Bots kommen aus Russland, USA und Brasilien -auch, aber nicht nur, weil dort die meisten Member her sind^^-).

Jupp, das habe ich verstanden. Da ich ja noch ein Neuling mit "verschenken" bin und schon lange nicht mehr hier war wollte ich auch mal in den Club der Lvl 2 und höher aufsteigen. :D
Ländereinschränkung finde ich halt doch Sinnvoll. ;) Vor allem sind die Spiele dort eh viel günstiger im Veehältnis. ;)

lvl2+ kann ich dir absolut empfehlen. Sobald du das erreicht hast wirst du sehen wie extrem groß der Unterschied ist (vor der Punkteumstellung war er noch größer) -da liegen Welten dazwischen-. Von lvl 2 auf 3 oder 4 ist keine so große Veränderung aber natürlich hast du dann mehr Auswahl und meistens auch weniger die beitreten.
Ich hab bisher noch nie ne Ländereinschränkung gemacht und quasi auch nur vorgestellt wenn vom Key her vorgeschrieben. Eine weitere Nutzung kam nicht in meinem Kopf vor. Wobei man fairerweise aber sagen muß das ich in letzter Zeit wenig freie Zeit habe und mir somit wenig Gedanken zu sowas machem.

Bei mir kam aber noch dazu das ich keine Ahnung habe ob die Keys woanders funktionieren weil sie ja doch alle vom Humble sind/waren. :)

Fair enough, in future giveaways I do I'll remember this. Also, thank you for the chance! :)
