"I made this by mistake."

cuz

I linked this by mistake.

By not understanding how the system works?

The users cat probably was playing with the mouse... :D

Well, to be honest, this site can be a bit confusing for first-time users, especially if they don't speak English well. You register here, then perhaps click something like "I agree/understand" without actually reading, agreeing or understanding, and then you go straight to Giveaways/Create Giveaway, where it tells you "Based on your current feedback score, you're able to create up to X additional gifts." So you keep clicking on "Yes", "Sure", "Definitely Right Away", and a giveaway is born.

This might perhaps be limited if gifters with zero positive feedback needed to correctly answer a short test before starting a giveaway, consisting of things such as "Who buys the gift to be given? Me/SteamGifts", "Can you give away a game from your library? Yes/No", ...

I really feel people creating giveaways think they are actually applying to GET the games instead.

By being dumb. Really dumb. For real.

OMG I MAED A COMMETN BY MISTAK!!!1
ADN I EDITTED IT BY MITSAKE

My parents made me by accident, great accident though

I think a lot of cases it was on purpose and they just cave into all the people calling them out for a fake giveaway and tell a lie to try and save face. Stupid > Evil????

It was his/her friend that made the giveaway while he was on the toilet , it always is....

I'm assuming most if not all of them are trolls.

Create fake giveaways? Find excuse.

Still gonna get a ban anyway.

the surge of points is always good tho creators of such giveaways shud be banned

Cause trolls.

Actually, all giveaways are true. The problem is that Steam has some gnomes working under the curtains, and they happen to steal the games of people from time to time. People get to embarrassed to say that their games were stolen by gnomes, so they say that they made the giveaway by mistake. Simple as that.

Or you can blame it on aliens. Just saying.

Have you ever accidentally?

Yeah I'm thinking most of them are probably just-a-trollin'...but then again there are quite a few....stupid people out there

another possibility of one of those peoples,

http://www.steamgifts.com/user/p0l3cat

he just registered, and directly made a giveaway, and said "My first giveaway to support the project! Hope I'll be lucky too ;-)"

Edit : forgot to mention that he also gave link to metacritic (don't know why he does that)

I left my monocle next to my top hat, so I didn't see I made a giveaway.

i like my mistake rare, almost bloody, thanks

Last time, my finger slipped and clicked through the site, making the giveaway by mistake :(

I made this post by mistake.

I think some don't understand how the site works and think that you need to create a giveaway for the game you want to receive. Last guy I saw who seemed to be doing this was from a Portugese speaking country, so perhaps he had translation issues.
