How? HOW?

Edit: For those of you who haven't figured out what I'm talking about, it's about those people that make a giveaway and say "Oops, didn't mean to!" How the hell do you enter all the required information and then go through a confirmation screen and not know what you're doing?

Bullshit. It's not exactly subtle about what you're doing.

If you don't speak English and have the FREE-GAMES-ADRENALINE, then maybe you just get a little carried away.
I asked that question myself, I'm not defending them by any stretch. If you can't be bothered to lurk a little to understand what's going on then you deserve it.

If you go to a site you don't know, you don't speak the language of and you rush through everything... well, that's a good way to get scammed out of your Steam account. Good luck with that, guys! Have fun!

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", ...

This is a GREAT idea. Send this to Loko or any other guy from support team.
Alternatively, somebody should try and translate user interface into the most popular languages based on members` IP or something like that.

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

Yeah I'm assuming they think they're filling out info to get the game for free themselves..

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.

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)

that's why i said, it's another possibility of a fake,

it's a 80-20% chance of a fake, most of them did not give a gifts, after making an account.

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.
