People not saying thank you

yea i understand man
i feel you <3

Yeah, I get a few like that myself. One of my recent giveaways, not a post in the giveaway, no post on my profile, no email from them to say thanks. Everyone else did in one of those places.

Well, except for one other who hasn't grabbed their win yet.

Some people are grateful/respectful, others aren't. That's life. Don't let the rude people get you down, just keep on smilin ;]

Sounds like people in real life...some are jerks...some aren't.

I don't bother to write comments but I always thank a person, whom giveaway I won. I feel it's mandatory. Like, duh. I know how you feel, OP.

I just had that happen a little while ago. I held a giveaway and tried contacting the user both through their Email and through Steam they never got back to me after I sent them the game and I still don't have the Gifts Received mark on my profile :/ It was like that for like 3 hours than it went back to the way it was before and I can't reroll for another winner since I'm sure they already redeemed the game.

I totally understand you. On the new Steam Gifts Site (SG V2.0) I will create a blacklist and I'll put such people on my blacklist. It's a nice idea if you want to do it.

Thank you! :★

Assholes will be assholes. Some people make a blacklist. Some people don't care.

Granted, I'm of the group that doesn't think they should comment on every giveaway they enter. But I do try to on privates after a puzzle cause the OP put in the effort to make it work out. Usually not "ty" but something related to the giveaway/puzzle. And ofc if you win, you gotta have some manners at the very least.

I say just blacklist em if you've got the time to do that.

I don't care if someone doesn't thank me after I give them something, but I am happy if I do see a thank you email/message after I send them their gift.

I always say thanks afterwards, unless they didn't email me or message me the gift and just sent it through steam without us adding each other.

"Thank you" is HERESY! Made a group specifically for people who do not wish to say it.

That's why i rarely make forum/public giveaways.

I understand you.

I'm one of those people, I don't comment on giveaways and only say thanks if the giver adds me to steam.

I am just non-communicative and prefer to not have the last word.

Of the giveaways I've done I can't remember if I ever got a thank you nor did I care about getting one. It did not really matter to me.

Not this thread again >_>

You're giving stuff away for free. It's their job to accept it, not to thank you for it (it's optional, not mandatory). They did their part of the deal by actually accepting the result of your lottery. They won, it's not like you're choosing who will get the prize by yourself. If you like to give away stuff for free, you shouldn't give a damn about what happens next. Your goal is to GIVE something, not to GET something (even as trivial as 'thank you').

well spamming into the thread of givaway is not my style...occasionaly i leave a individual comment.

on the other hand, when winning something i think its just rude to not thank the giver.

I share your sentiment when it comes to no response from winners, now I just check to see if anyone in my friendslist has that game on his wishlist if I want to give something away or alternatively I pick a random person who's active on the SG forum and try to get a hold of one of the games from their wishlist at least this way you know they'll really enjoy and play it and since you either already know that person or he/she is active on SG you know you'll get a response.
This works great for me for now until we have SGv2, then I just plan on whitelisting every active forum member to do giveaways for to avoid this.

A question for you though OP; you know that you can remove comments from your steam profile right? asking this because instead of deleting spam you opted to comment warning people not to click it, just figured i'd check that's all.

I don't often comment on a giveaway, sometimes not even in the thread, but in the event of winning I always respond with my gratitude whether it be Steam chat or through email. It's amazing how some people can go without saying a word at all.

While I can understand your frustration - I don't think that the flood of generic "thank you" posts are much better.

Nothing inspiring to say, just that this is how shit works. Some are polite some aren't. Since they don't spent their precious time to type a thank you, you shouldn't spent your precious time thinking about it.

i once contacted a winner on steam, they asked me what i wanted, i said they won my giveaway, they said "ok" i sent it to them, they activated it and said "it worked" then logged off without a thank you or any kind of emotion what so ever

those ppl hurt me big time

I also hate when this happens to me, no thanks or any word back, during or after the giveaway. So I totally understand you. Some people are just rude and don't have manners at all... :(
I know some people who keep doing the same in my giveaways, so for the future SGv2 I will just use that new "Black List" feature and add them to that list. Period (Mwa-ha-ha... :P).
