Maybe its fake or maybe its real, either way that is not important.
What is funny on the other hand is that you ( who has never given away any games in the entire time you have been a member here.. like 2 years? ) is going on complaining and pointing fingers :D

oh yeah better way to create a fake GAs than nothing? =))) blonde logic...

What? How did you infer that from my comment ? I was stating the irony that could be found in someone who has never contributed to the community jumping at the chance to denounce someone ... How the hell did you deduce that as me condoning the creation of fake giveaways ?
If that is your logic or level of comprehension, then I'll gladly take "blonde logic" over it.

If you think it's fake, just ignore the giveaway. How does a fake giveaway hurt anybody?
Comment has been collapsed.
Assuming for a moment that it were true, tell that to the 3 people who end up winning a great giveaway and are ultimately disappointed. It's like winning the lottery and having it cruelly taken away from you.
Comment has been collapsed.
Still, it does not warrant calling out a user in public.
Comment has been collapsed.
I never said that it did, but to pretend that it doesn't matter is bogus. And until policies/systems are put in place to prevent that sort of thing then I have and will continue to put the onus on the staff here for doing nothing about it when they could have. I understand that there is no way to insure the integrity of giveaways 100%, but not even basic steps have been taken to start somewhere.
Comment has been collapsed.
You mean, prevent creation of "fake" giveaways?
There is simply no reliable way for us to know if the giveaway is "legit" before it ends. You may have your suspicions, you may analyze the gifter's inventory, check his registration date and so on, but in the end, unless the gifter himself comes out and says "Hey, so this is what happened..." we cannot know anything for sure. And deleting a giveaway simply because someone thinks it's not legit and someone might be disappointed after they win is not the proper way to handle this problem.
Comment has been collapsed.
There absolutely is a way to help curb or curtail it. It's called not operating on a completely open honor system where any new user can register and create any giveaway without any sort of restrictions whatsoever or without any verification that they understand what they are doing. The FAQ is all fine and good but many people either don't bother to peruse it or simply TLDR it.
On the giveaway creation screen: at bare minimum there should be short statements outlining the most common errors/misunderstandings that are made when making giveaways and check boxes or some kind of method to force people to read and acknowledge them as a prerequisite step before they are able to create said giveaway. For example:
[ ]
[ ]
[ ]
[ ]
[ ]
[ ]
These are some of the most common pitfalls. And yes, it would mean a few more clicks when creating a giveaway but would be worth it. If it takes flashing lights and a loud horn in people's faces for them to pay attention to what they are doing then so be it.
I would even take it a step further than that and restrict any new accounts from creating giveaways for 30 days. Or at least not high value ones. This need not be the end-all, be-all, but a place to start from.
Comment has been collapsed.
And what would stop these people from TLDR'ing this checklist as well? Tick every box - boom, giveaway created, and we're back where we started. There is simply no way to be sure people read and understood the FAQ and the Guidelines, as there is no way to be sure any giveaway on the site is legit until the game is delivered.
Comment has been collapsed.
They might do that (and it's also part of the reason for the additional initial 30-day restriction), but at least you are putting it up on display in front of them instead of relying on them to take the initiative to actually look at the FAQ on their own. As I intimated, you would have to try and figure the best way to get them to actually pay attention to and acknowledge it. It's better than doing nothing though.
The game most notorious for the highest percentage of fake giveaways is probably none other than 007 Legends. If you have a way of looking at the giveaway history for the game then may I suggest doing so. Last I looked (before SG v2), not a single one of them was ever valid or delivered (I remember one being marked as received but the winner didn't actually have it in their library), and yet giveaways for it were continually allowed to remain up to their conclusion despite the game having been removed from the Steam store a very long time prior.
Comment has been collapsed.
Things that you suggested, and more (checklist before the giveaway, flashy pop-up, extra confirmation screen, a FAQ quiz after registration) were suggested multiple times months before the site update, but, as we can see, they haven't been implemented, so cg must have had his reasons not to go this way.
Comment has been collapsed.
Surely if someone is going to do a legit give away for the 1st time they would read the FAQ?
I know I had to.
Comment has been collapsed.
Sure, it's just there's no way we can force them to do so or at least make sure they did before making a giveaway.
Comment has been collapsed.
But couldn't you implement something similar to Gameminer's system, but only with a users first giveaway?
So that they have to first send the game to Steamgifts' email so you would be able to confirm it and then create the giveaway (using an automated system)
Comment has been collapsed.
Look at what happened when Valve just banned Gameminer's gift bots a year ago. Having the same thing happen to our users' games? Not a good idea.
Also, how would we be able to check keys for validity?
Comment has been collapsed.
As I've said before, I was only implying that a solution could be possible, even if it is a temporary one. I'm pretty sure with 760k users, there won't be such a massive influx of new users to the site, and with only the first giveaway getting checked(compared to the amount of gifts the Gameminer bots got) I wouldn't think it so big of a problem. Though I do not claim to know of anything and I was just offering my opinion on this matter, It bothers me when people take sides, some support the giveaway creator and call it fake, thus creating a rift in the community.
