Do you have a tendency to click on the received key button before you even check to see if the key you won is even valid?
Oddly, the 'don't mark received until you actually successfully activate the game' rule, which is accepted as matter of fact by community and staff, doesn't actually seem to be listed in the FAQ.
Of course, it's hardly the only omitted rule from there, but it seems an especially silly one to exclude.
And there's never anything wrong with adding more emphasis to the fact that you need to activate the games..

Now for the reckless, eager gamer they would have ignored that message and entered that contest without even reading the extra comment typically. If only they took that extra couple of seconds to read those 2-3 sentences and do the bare minimum research to find out what the game is and if it even still exist anywhere, they might have seconds thoughts on what they just did.
the problem is people can't read when they enter giveaways with bots and scripts. :3

Not that I see it on a daily basis or anything, but I'm getting real sick and tired of people trying to pawn off old keys of dead/abandoned games onto other people in an attempt to clear out their inventory for whatever reason. Just went into another one of those fake giveaways promising 3 copies of Dead Island: GOTY Edition only to find out in a side note that he really meant he was giving away 3 copies Dead Island: Epidemic. Now for the reckless, eager gamer they would have ignored that message and entered that contest without even reading the extra comment typically. If only they took that extra couple of seconds to read those 2-3 sentences and do the bare minimum research to find out what the game is and if it even still exist anywhere, they might have seconds thoughts on what they just did. The game's servers officially shut down last year yet why are people still tossing around this junk around like people can still play it?
I mean the gaming community as a whole in general is a rough enough place to navigate through these days without the scammers, cheaters, thieves and just plain ol' people thinking they can "work the system" better than anyone else. But don't get it twisted or anything I've been blessed enough meet some extremely helpful and friendly people gaming here and there. But on the flip side of things I've also had the bad luck with encountering some the worst the gaming community has to offer from the: Keyboard Warrior, The Dictator/Control Freak, to just flat out griefers. The culture of cheating in gaming in general has seriously flourished since I was kid. Seems like more and more people are all too eager to screw over their fellow gamer over at a moments notice these days.....
