People trading away games they won in giveaways ?

Why not permanently? It's not like it's not written in the rules, and it's common sense after all...

That's pretty arbitrary, they once banned me for "not activating" (which I did) a year after the giveaway. I guess there's no automation in place or it's super slow.

something's wrong with that rule though. some people win games their pc cant run.
"now why not make a rule that prevents people from joining giveaways they cant run?"
-well that would be very tough to monitor. unless you can somehow detect the user's pc specs and script something that prevents them from joining giveaways over their specs.

U forgt tu say pls.

It's wrong on this site.
It's wrong morally.

You must redeem the game on the account you entered with, and may not trade it to others.

Call the internet police!

I think that there were few games, that don't appear on owned games list, but those were like betas or something. So yeah, report it, and let support handle it.
In meantime, try making group giveaways, or ones with CV.

They could be using a dummy account (which I'm guessing is against the rules) and have activated it on their main account.

They could have given it to someone else. For example if someone won a giveaway and then realized that the game is on their best friend's wishlist.

Also, DLCs seem to only show up in the list if they were activated individually, not as part of a collection.

Is there a personal blacklist option or does blacklist only apply if I have a giveaway-group ?

They should

Yes, all those show up.

we can see the games you donated at your profile

site does not automatically ban, because there are few games that do not show in your inventory even if you activate them - and site would be automatically banning users who did nothing wrong. On the other hand if you report (you should do so!) a person who didn't activate your win he will surely get suspended (unless he got suspended for not activationg this particular game before anyway).

There's a few more problems with that, if a game is revoked (credit card issues or whatever) after it comes into your possession, you'd be banned for not having it. As far as I know, it's the mods (and people reporting people guilty of it) that do all of the work related to that.

It's not allowed on SteamGifts. Read the FAQ.

the point is that you should enter for games you "WANT" so people aren
t supposed to enter for something they don't care enough to own

Yea I´d prefer going all Queen of hearts on them as well ["Off with their heads" :D ] but I´ll take what I can get.

This is Unacceptable!

Lol, made my day.
What a stinker.
:D

I'd create a support ticket.

I wouldn't advise actually doing it, but you can probably import the cookies from internet explorer (which are stored in .txt files) into firefox (which stores them in a database).

Just create a support ticket, it's the same thing. Don't forget to designate the user and provide proof of whatever you're reporting him for. In this case, just a link towards the library of the user will do (although the mods can check by themselves, it might save them a few precious seconds)

edit : oops, I didn't see that you had solved your problem :-/

Look for recruitment group thread in the forum you will find groups you're looking for.

I recall a user who said that he didn't read the rules, and he gave the CS:GO copy that he won to his friend. He said that he was banned for around a week, if I recall correctly.

Having an opinion is in accordance with SteamGifts rules. On the other hand, not activating a game you won is not.

Actually you are wrong. That would be the case in another gifting wesite. Here this rule exists for a reason. If you could just re-gift everything back then you would join everything and focus on most wanted games even if you do not want them for your self. But by applying this rule, you are join giveaways only of the games you want/need. This gives everybody a better chance to win their game ( even you ) by not letting anyone join everything.

Nobody is gonna report you for having an opinion. If on the other hand you were to win one of my giveaways and tried to trade the game you won away for TF2 Items I would without second thought.

It might not be the perfect analogy but look at it like taxes: I don´t have to agree on what they are spent on to be forced to pay them. When we joined this group we all agreed to a set of rules.

But if you personly don´t mind donating trading materials, I am an avid trader: You can donate as much stuff to me as you like (we should probably just rather do it as a trade on steam not here as a giveaway) for trading and I will even say thank you (which from the 50 % resellers that won my giveaways not 1 did).

No ? I wonder why...

Nobody's gonna report you for your opinion.
But I hope people will add you to their blacklist for being ignorant and butthurt.

technically your right, but i guess you're just a scumbag in life. A gift, is exactly that. its not a sale, not a commodity, its someone giving something nice to another person out of generosity... to immediately take that 'gift', dismiss the gifter, and consider it yours to profit from is... well.. its kinda a dirtbag shitty thing to do, and thats the issue i think. This place works... hell, EXISTS purely thanks to the charity and kindness of others, and its always sad to see people abusing the generosity of others like that.

Nobody is going to report you for an opinion, but with one like this, there will be no shortage of people who will consider you a colossal dick.

Welcome to my blacklist. If I decide to make another giveaway someday (haven't made any for a while since more and more people are becoming leechers like you) and you win - no game for u.
