Hi, first of all, thanks for the giveaway.
I've noticed you haven't set a level restriction on most of your giveaways, may i suggest, that you do it 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
http://www.sgtools.info/multiple-wins
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 970k users on level 0 85% of the accounts on the site haven't contributed with a giveaway and just there for leeching, another reason for setting up a level restriction.
If you got more questions, feel free to ask.
Have a nice day

did you have this conversation with one of the mods/admins here a few days ago already?
as that staff-member said then, your suggestion would make steamgifts very restrictive and unfriendly to new users.
yes, we got the bots, resellers and autojoiners but there is also plenty of fresh people, especially during sale periods each year and i personally was pisspoor the first few years i joined because, believe it or not, but 10-20 bucks can be a lot of money for many people which still enjoy a relief from their harsh life in the form of videogames.
glad you could make it to level 5 even with being below the poverty line of your country(which differs for countries, you know that right?), then again "below poverty line" can mean a lot of different financial levels still.
for the first few years or so i joined here, i had to decide if i use your 10-20 bucks example for buying food for 3-4 days or have no food for those days.
like, i get and even support a lot of what you say in that message you keep posting but the part about "being poor is no excuse for you", thats where you loose me entirely as its an overall horrible attitude.
still, have a nice day as well.

well, that's just my own opinion and that 10-20 bucks are a one time investment, you won't lose levels and you don't have to invest them in one go
Maybe you noticed i never wrote anything in level restricted GAs, even if they are only level 1, which can be reached easily, the 10-20 bucks are just there for comparison reasons and in my opinion even a very low restriction is better than no restriction
everyone here had the money to buy a rig, games on Steam for 100$ and manages to pay their bills, and if they struggle there, i think that person has way more serious problems than free games on a website, what i'm trying to say, all people here have for sure some spare money, even if they have only some Cents, it would be enough to buy a cheap game and to level up, but then there are so many low levels here, just being stingy and leeching, but thats just my opinion, everyone can have his own of course and i won't force anything onto someone
yes, i had a very short discussion with a mod and he didn't replied to my last post, which had some strong arguments from my point of view, he also tried to draw the discussion to a very theoretical level, which would never meet reality
If you have read my answer, i'm sure you also read that part about the vicious circle, that some actions affected SG in a negative way and people, who share their opinion with me, try to iron out these negative effects, improvising the level system for it, as we can't do much
gimme a heads up, if you need a link to that discussion and have a nice one too
