Level on giveaways

I like this.

but, if you believe they do fake-giveaways, than it´s even better if they protect new or not experienced users to enter it, and only those that done giveaways and might recognized it as fake, can decide if they enter or not....
also, maybe someone who has won here several games, would like to give his first one to people that themself gave games and not to those that never done that.

I know that it was this way on SGv1. The maximum CV value you could make a giveaway for was twice your CV at the time, meaning your first giveaway had to be with 0$ CV.

i think it's even better, when you are only allowed to creat leveled giveaways, that are maximum your level, i saw some level 2/3 people that do level 3/4 giveaways
EDIT: and that's why all the Giveaways i'm doing are unleveled

... I honestly fail to see how restricting the level requirement new users can choose is in any way necessary or useful.

I have no idea why you came to believe that either so I'm voting no. :p

I can't think of a reason why I or anyone shouldn't thank the level 10 people by making a giveaway for them if theywanted to. What would be the problem with that?

Someone might join, win some gifts (which will obviously be from levelled people) and then want to give back to them.

Bad not really, though half the levelled giveaways I have entered are being canceled because the users do not understand how the site and steam works. Before there were much less of this than now. I do not say it is the only solution, most likely the fairest would be to make users read the rules of the site the moment they go to create a giveaway, though most likely most would just pass through it without reading them.

I completely disagree. The more options that a person has to click through when making a giveaway, the more likely they are to have to actually go look up "what does this mean" and discover that they were using the site wrong.

I understand that you like having a lazy shortcut for "does this user know how to use the site?" But I think it's better to allow more options and add the chance for more people to realize "Wait, why would I care what level the person is if they're giving me GTA 5? Maybe I have it backwards"

All of the level 10 giveaways I've seen in the last month or two have been fake >.<

I made a level 2 giveaway an hour after joining today. My thinking was just to reward people who have given, but since I was new I wasn't sure on exactly the level to choose. I certainly see both sides of the argument and in retrospect, maybe I should have chosen it to be un-leveled.
