Hi,
can i give you a advice or please you that you make "free for all" GA's only at lvl 2+ ?.
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 your Giveaways.
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 have question i try to answer them.
Would be great if you think over that.
Thanks and have a nice week :o)

Good advice Masafor, I'll have to keep that in mind as well

I am happy that a few see it so too.
Since i posted that text into around 20 GA's i got 3 BL -_-.
I not know how to write it friendlier or more like only a advice and not a rule for the giver.
Not possible to make it that it fits for all.
And maybe the Autojoiners and Bot user people have BL me :D

Probably not them, but the "extreme leechers" you pointed out. But then, getting blacklisted by someone who does no/almost no give aways doesn't really sting much, it's more of just a happy +1 to your blacklisted list.

Yes the BL hits me not really.
It give soooooo much GA's a few less or more not interest ;o)

I'll keep that in mind. Luckily the last 2 I just did were legit members who have given to the community.

Sounds lucky when i think on my own experiences.
I had 90% by the open for all GA's that need forever to take the game, set the hook and a thanks came never from them :o(
Massive work to run behind them to give out the Win. Writing in old GA's, in steam, over there emailadress. And always see them then nearly the complete day online (each day) without any reaction.
Later i found out that this ones are the bot owners and autojoiners.
I tried a lot of different levels and experienced that first on lvl2+, open for all, the rate of real winners raise up to 60%.
So i prefer not to make, unsecured, open for all GA's since this time (60% is me not enough because i want not support bot owners and people that use exploits -autojoiners and stuff-).
Because i gave this answer to a other one i copy it to you too. Maybe useful.
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.
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)

Here you can see how you can use Questions.
From "Are you a bot" Questions that can all users solve to Questions that nobody can solve ... you set the difficult 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 more questions i try to answer them.
