1.
full text search with real-time results , similar to STEAM store would be neat

  • full text search on forum is missing too

2.
Filter linked to STEAM's wish-list
i think it should be fairly simple to read wish-list from his STEAM profile
Filtering by the date - time period e.g. within next hour, 4, 12, 24, week, month

3.
also all games Your account already has should be automatically filtered (or grayed out)

4.
ability to view all my forum posts in the Accounts & Invites section

5.
official game-giveaways (game-company or similar sponsored) announced extra on main page space

6.
giveaways longer than 7 days should be approved only to site veterans / trusted donors / official donors ...
otherwise You end with tons of spam-style useless giveaways
terminated giveaways (more than 1 each 30 day, first one don't count) shall decrease the trust level of the donor ...

7.
if someone create 30 days giveaway and then abort it 29 later
he will need 29 days till he can repeat that or he loose trust rating

8.
what to do to encourage people also to gift something ...
donors with 100, 250, 500, 1000, 2000 etc. gifted-points get boost on chance to win
same style like Valve summer camp 'stockpiling' of tickets to win
the name will be N times in the draft, nothing more or less

9.
giveaways linked to STEAM group(s):
e.g. i want start giveaway where only those who are in specific official game group(s) (one or multiple)
get the chance to win, who not meet this simple requirement will not be able enter the giveaway...

10.
keys giveaways should be allowed only to veteran/trusted members (N verified giveaways) and official giveaways / game-company members etc.

11.
registration to this site shall needs some 'tightening' against bot abuse

A.recaptcha (but remember it was already broken by automated bots)

B.'human computing' to resolve image (typical example is show picture of some animals and ask what animal is 3rd from left)
this is not to solve the human made clones but would help a bit against automated bots

12.
let say You invite person and that person is banned, as result, Your invite rights will be removed for next 30 days ...
simple as that ...

13.
all account giveaways should result to automatic ban

Sort of related idea search option for forum so we can find out if an idea has been brought up

I definitely think that there should be some clever way of not showing games that someone already has, especially since we're already linking our steam account, it should pull some of that data.
There's always room to grow! :)

Such a unique idea! I've never heard anything like it before!

As a Mac user, it would also be nice for me to be able to see at a glance which games were for which OS or to be able to hide Windows-only games.

Sounds like a good idea

Wow nice list, I like your ideas - full text search would be great and greying out the games they already own is a great idea. Dont know about the wishlist one though, you start giveaways usually so that everyone can enter, not just one person. But overall good ideas mate!

added some more, specifically linked to the site abuse

i think adding feature where giveaway is linked to STEAM groups may turn quite useful and encourage group owners to start giveaways on this site :)
