Hmm, depends if he got suspended for those fouls (from what I read from other threads, at least).
I would try and request a reroll even if that were the case, doesn't deserve to win any of my future GA's. :P

You could ask support, providing the information you've put here. If they refuse the request and he's a valid winner, you always have the option of not delivering the gift and taking the mark on your profile.

Yeah thx I'm going to ask the support
And I could never live with such a mark, I want to keep my profile clean D:

I would submit a ticket. If they've already served suspension for the offense, support will instruct you to still gift the game.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'd say go for it. If it's not acceptable in this case because he already got his suspension(s) for that, support will tell you.
Comment has been collapsed.
If they haven't been suspended, they will be and it'll be rerolled. If they have been, then nothing, they are a valid winner. So, submit a ticket and let support decide.
EDIT: too slow Q_Q

Ok thanks I give it a try and ask for a reroll.
It's sad that someone can break the rules over and over again with almost no consequences ._.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes you can, if they haven't been suspended yet it will be rerolled.
It is only when the user has already been suspended for their non activations that the giveaway can be rerolled only if there is a non activated game from this month.
Comment has been collapsed.
I would hope that 8 unactivated wins would get someone banned permanently here...so yes you should be able to reroll as I would assume he has not been suspended for any of them
We all know what happens when I assume though...
Comment has been collapsed.
He was suspended for his regifting before, so I have to send him the gift -_-
Let's see if he activates this one...
Comment has been collapsed.
That suck... I understand not knowing / making mistake or something and having ONE unactivated game. But 8? It's intentional behaviour and I'd never like to give my game to someone like this... (but still I was forced to do so when support replied to my reroll requests that winner was already suspended. Only once they gave someone perma ban for regifting / trading).
Comment has been collapsed.
I know the feeling. It sucks.. Just blacklist him so he can't enter your future giveaways. :p
Comment has been collapsed.
i agree a 1 time thing can happen if the guy is new and maybe not understanding the rules properly though should know by reading faq in my opinion but lets say 1 is unactivated he should get a 1month ban and the next should alrdy be permanent. But its also the fault of the giveaway creators not checking if the game has actually been activated.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah but you can't blame the GA creators for this. Like I said the support told me that he already got suspended for his infractions. So it seems like they already checked if he activated his games.
Also always (except once) more than one month has past between each of those not activated wins, so that the GA creators had to sent him the game like I have to do too.
Comment has been collapsed.
i meant it as in once the ga creator supplied the game that he should have checked if he had added it to his games some don't care once they sent the game and as long as they get a mark received they dont care what happens to it but its because of this they don't check and than don't report for not activating the game they aren't found out that the regifters can send it to an alt account or regift it. hence i say its partially the ga creators fault as well but maybe thats just my pov :) so not saying its your fault for meeting a regifter but the person should have been stopped at giveaway number 1 he regifted
but this guy u mentioned is clearly abusing the system
Comment has been collapsed.
He didn't even regifted them he wanted to trade most of them.
And imho trying to make profit from gifts is even worse than regifting them.
Comment has been collapsed.
This is total disregard for the rules and abuse of the system, I understand giving a second MAYBE a third chance to someone but 8 chances all with the same result tell me this person is a major problem to the community and should not be welcomed here.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well if they only got caught after not activating 8 games, it is their second chance.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah but it doesn't sound like he just get caught the first time. xD
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm not sure that suggests recidivism. I guess you're saying this because suspensions is plural, but maybe what they meant is the suspension for each game has been served (even if the suspensions were given at the same time)
Comment has been collapsed.
Wow, that's terrible. I'd send that screenshot to support and try to get him banned. Not activating gifts is one thing, but then brazenly turning around and using them on Steam Trades? Wow, what a jerk.
Comment has been collapsed.
Unfortunately there is no rules against trading not activated gifts ._.
Comment has been collapsed.
There is. The FAQ says that you should activate won gifts to your account.
Won gifts should be activated to the Steam account used during registration, and they should not be regifted, traded, or sold.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah he didn't activate them and get his 5 Days suspension each time. But thats it.
Comment has been collapsed.
So, I guess, everyone is now waiting till the person marks the game as received, so we can check him and add him to the blacklists?
Comment has been collapsed.
If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't send the gift.
Comment has been collapsed.
+1 I would take the hit of an unsent gift before I would give a game to someone who hasn't activated that many and has tried to trade games he won. There is no reason someone with that many instances of breaking the rules should still have an active account, imo. 9 strikes and you're out?
Comment has been collapsed.
No strikes. We should use the football system. Give the man an yellow card and if he continues to violate the rules - red card his ass and send him to the shower room.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'd rather request support to delete my giveaway than to give the guy the gift, to be honest.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's not so easy to get a giveaway deleted after it ended... "just" for this reason, that someone doesn't want to give the game. The winner would have to agree to that...
Comment has been collapsed.
They could be punished by Permanent ban if (s)he wasn't already suspended for their not-activated games !
Comment has been collapsed.
If it was me I'd let him mark as not received. It is sad, the guy doesn't activate 8 of his win and just got suspended and no alert on his profile, if you chose to not give him a single game you'll be marked forever but IMHO it is worth.
Comment has been collapsed.
I always try to reroll people that didn't activate any wins. Doesn't matter if it's 1 week or 1 year ago.
I don't believe in second chances, but unfortunately Steamgifts does, so most of the time regifters already had a suspension and you have to give them the game or take a "not received" on your profile.
Comment has been collapsed.
Normally I would say, one or two non-activated gifts a long time ago, no biggie. Maybe they learned from their mistake. Honestly though, after 8, I would say that it's way too many. Even if they've won and activated since then, 8 non-activated gifts is a lot, and I wouldn't send the gift. I would ask for reroll and failing that just not deliver. If someone doesn't play by the rules, you're under no obligation to give them things.
Comment has been collapsed.
breaking the rules yourself is not the answer.
True, undelivered is crap and not a lot of people care about that. still...
i get where your coming from...
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't understand why the guy is still here. Non-activation of 8 games. WTF? I have seen people get suspended for less.
Comment has been collapsed.
Temporary suspension.
everyone can learn from their mistakes...
or not, but we can hope. can't we?

This is why speaking without knowledge is something to be avoided. People with partial information, or a lack of understanding, "fill in the blanks" with hearsay and speculation, and that leads to misinformation and downright lies being propagated in the pursuit of what is right. Which, for obvious reasons, is not right. The reason why this site is moderated by hand instead of automatically is so that each case may be investigated, judged, and handled in accordance with what is appropriate in each circumstance. While the Support Staff is human, and therefore prone to error, we also check each other's work.
In summary, it was a good idea to contact Support about a re-roll, and Support handled the situation in the appropriate manner. Further speculation without consequential information is not a good idea.

Just a little Update:
He activated the game he won from me and marked as recieved.
I'm gonna close this thread now.
Comment has been collapsed.
So a guy who won one of my GAs hasn't activated 8 games (of 47) in a period from June 2012 to March 2015.
He also tried to trade most of those not activated games.
Can I ask the support for a reroll for this GA even if his last not activated gift was more than 1 month ago? (cause in the reasons it says "Regifted or did not activate previous wins this month")
Or did I just have to accept him as winner and hope that he won't try to trade that game again (even if it's a quite bad game xD) cause it was over 1 month ago that he not activated a gift?
I wanted to ask you guys first before I bother the support with a useless ticket.
random gif and the proof that he did what I said:
