Hi,
first a thanks for the nice giveaway :o)
Please don't take my following words in any way against you. That is not the intention.

I would like to ask 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, who never give away anything 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.

There are 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 all users can 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.

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

When you write over "how it works here".... YES
Because you proved that you not know from what you talk...

I see that "how it works" thing really got your panties in a bunch so i'll humor you a little longer and chew it up for you who's registered 2 months ago.

In my five years of sporadic visiting to this site absolutely nothing has changed, and every comment section in every giveaway is nothing but a mass of meaningless thank yous, which my initial comment pointed out, mocking you who has decided to use such a comment section for something more detailed and sophisticated than an empty platitude.

Now feel free to backpedal, delete your comments and do the damage control, i'm no longer responding.

I not need to delete anything or do damage control ...
the BL i have got from tell my opinion are ok (the WL too -was not the same amount but thats ok i am much higher in WL as BL-).
Sorted out all that can't handle other opinions then there own.
I am too old to bother with such "kid's behavior" (BL for a other opinion)

Kolpo is right, youre caring way too much about this shit. Just let him and us enoy the GA and if you really want to change something contact the admins about it. They could easily implement a rule where every user without any GAs can only win 2 games and thats it, so dont blame the Gifters over here.
Please don't turn this fun site into cancer with stuff like that.
I understand that you have only good intentions, but thats way over the top. Sorry for the harsh words here.

Also, thanks for the giveaway, OP!

Look at his stats... 5 years around and made not ONE GA. So yes he is surely the one that should explain the rules :DDDDDD

Contact the admins brings nothing because no one would force anyone to anything.
And it is not a problem for me when users on lvl 0 wins when they are real users and not bots/autojoiners.
With easy security measures, as example ITH with a easy Question (as example "Are you a bot") -anyone can "solve" that :D-, you can hold a good part of the bots/autojoiners outside.
lvl 0 / 1 users loose nothing. There chances raise when they not need to battle with all the bots and autojoiner entries.

I have not the intention to take anything away from REAL users.

So basically because of bots, poor people shouldn't have any chance to join giveaways.
