Where did these keys come from? I never heard of a key giveaway.

I don't think it's so bad when people are creating giveaways for these cheap games because it benefits everyone. The person creating the giveaway ups his/her contributor status, everyone gets more points to spend on giveaways, and more giveaways means more chances to win something. So everyone wins!!
I don't even care if I win a crappy game, that's still a win, and it makes me happy. Who wouldn't like winning stuff if it's free?? You get a good feeling when the Lady Luck finally smiles upon you and you win something :).

Just add Shadowgrounds under exploited keys on the FAQ. Then, if a giveaway is made, one may ask "key or giftable?" If it's a key, it's removed. This would fix future exploitation of key hoarders. Additionally +/- go back and retroactively punish the ones yesterday. But, that'd be a lot of work.

Why not just have a public list of people who gift games in such a manner and then just allow contest runners to allow/disallow those they know to be on such lists to be in their contests or not?
This way, people can give games in such a manner(using codes they acquired), and others are free to allow or disallow such people from participating in their contests if they so choose. (Not sure how doable this is, though.)

I don't think it'd be easy for gifters to remember the names of everyone who gave away games in such a manner(Giving free games codes, etc.), though.
Why not have voting buttons or options next to each giveaway/on each giveaway page which would add a gifter to a public list(If enough people voted for them/clicked on them)? Contest runners could then(when making a contest) either allow such people to participate in their contests via another option(shown when making/editing a contest) or disallow such people from participating.
Again, i'm not sure if it's doable. It would placate both sides, though.

With all the abused FREE keys, why not just not allow the two Shadowgrounds games to be given, forever? Yes, that means legit owners/gifters won't be able to give it away, but honestly, boohoo.
