I've noticed you haven't set a level restriction on your giveaways, may i suggest, that you do so in your future ones?
The reason is simple, there are a lot of bad accounts on this site, like autojoiners, multis, bots, win resellers and other rule breakers or just leechers, who doesn't contribute to the site at all, and most of them are found on level 0.
I even suggest to set a higher level than 1, because it will cost like 10 Cent to reach that level, even level 3 is pretty cheap to reach and will cost like 10 to 20 bucks, also being poor isn't an excuse for me, because i live below the poverty line of my country and even i managed to get to level 5 in few months.
Another advantage of setting the bar higher is, that you won't get bothered by all the annoying thank you messages from autojoiners with thank you script, that's why i set my bar even higher to at least level 4 and level 3 being the real exception.
You can even go right away and delete your giveaway to set it up new with a level restriction, if you wish to do so, deletion of running giveaways are accepted instantly.
I'm a person, who checks his winners, about ratio and also rule breaks and if you like to do so: http://www.sgtools.info/activation
If you see red marks there, you can request a reroll for a new winner, just put the link into your support ticket
If you want to know how many users are on each level: https://www.steamgifts.com/stats/community/users
with 980k users on level zero 85% of the accounts on the site haven't contributed with a giveaway or made only ones with Freebies and are just here for leeching, another reason for setting up a level restriction, not to mention that some have already shown their true colours having all sorts of excuses for their egoistic behaviour and instead harrass me, insult me, defame me, draw the discussion to a personal level, doubt facts and evidences not having ones themselves, draw illlogical conclusions out of it and make false claims in the process
Hello Prosac,
A set of pretty good advice and observations. Thanks. These are my first giveaways in a few years, so apparently a lot has changed. I will follow these tips in the future.
Have a nice day too!
lol. hello my special friends :D so you also accept that your special friends have a bad effect on your manipulation of people giving away games. :D
and sorry for being late, keeping you waiting. I'm having a hectic day at work. LOL
yes, they're wasting my time dragging the discussion to a non fact-based level and me still trying to explain things to them, which they don't want to understand
of course they are, what most people don't know, i'm a member of a group, which is very proficient in hunting bad accounts, some did even unrestricted GAs and checked every entry, we have our own Discord, where we discuss a lot of things about bad accounts, that is also where i have most of my 700 blacklist suggestions from, beware that i only BL 5+, because BL has only 1000 slots. And i'm also checking things myself quite regularly, it's a burden to know all these things and how bad the site is
i'm not that guy who makes up things out of thin air or arguing on an emotional basis
"also being poor isn't an excuse for me"
I dont know about you but this doesnt sound like a fact to me.
From what I can see from what you have written, you have a lot of time to waste. lol. from that I can infer many other things, but you easily get offended. So I'll stop here and let you ponder.
My personal situation isn't at issue, idk why you're always trying to draw it there, lacking other arguments?
Funny how you talk about me getting offended, looking at all these people who instantly throw insults at me, are these your idol for being calm?
Do you think that I said that you get easily offended because what other tell you? No. I get that idea from all that 'whining (my opinion)' you have shown in our dialogues.
you also draw this to wherever you like. For example you ignore my first argument. but whatever. have it your way have fun.
If you like sending people the same message over and over and if this makes you happy, it's almost Xmas time. Be happy.
I thought I posted this message before, but looks like I did not.
Giveaway comments are a place for the Creator to interact with users. Creator may ask a question that will be answered by entrants. Give winners an update on the giveaway status. Or ask them to post cat gifts. Entrants may thank for the giveaway, or winners interact with the Creator. Some time ago we allowed the users to point out potential rule breaking, to give the Creator a chance to correct their actions before support intervention:
If you notice a user not following our guidelines, do your best to politely explain our rules with relevant links or quotes to our guidelines when appropriate. If they do not take action or deny any wrongdoing, please submit a user report ticket so we can take action if necessary.
This was done to avoid negativity in the comments, which was created when users were going into a new user giveaways to write "fake" etc. Which is clearly not a positive thing to do.
Giveaway comments were never meant to be a notice board. Where users tell the Creator how they should make their giveaways. It's not a place to post messages about users being bots and cheaters and "leeches", how many tickets were made, what to do when the giveaway is over etc. This kind of information can be gathered in a forum thread. And then anyone interested can visit, read and act accordingly if they chose to.
If the Creator responds they do not wish to see such messages in their giveaways, it should be an automatic end of the conversation. They made the giveaway, it's their space to enjoy, they decide how they want to interact with users and who is allowed to join.
Creators can be rightfully annoyed when such things occur. That's why I will ask you to stop posting the above message (and any of its variants) in the future. Users don't want their giveaways to become someone's else notice boards, nor opening giveaways to read comments and see the same copy-pasted message all over the place.
As you can see, the creator was far from annoyed from my message and thanked me for it and that's my overall experience.
The only ones who are annoyed are the bad accounts i try to warn people about and who contribute nothing to the site and community, and they are so annoyed that they'll probably create a shitton of reports, so you mods get annoyed and try to silence me now, that's at least what i think, not to mention that you still see the same autojoiners in every GA, which won't get warned or punished, even spamming a thousand thank yous, so i'm sorry for being frank, but i think you're applying double standards here
not to mention, that i think creators may be more annoyed from massive thank you spam, than from my single message, which i only post once to each creator, so sorry for being frank again, but i think your arguments are a bit flawed
Thx
