One of those wonderful people is a member here for 3 years and this re-gift is his first giveaway... Not to mention his other three non-activated wins :(

Just ask in the forum for people to donate to your epic leveling quest.
Let's see if there is a begging thread within 1 hour.

Rerolling is impossible, there are more copies than winners. Winner list removal, well, I won a giveaway three weeks ago (a soundtrack I already had), and I wasn't removed yet...

Unless you're using an auto-join script, it's quite hard to open a giveaway page and click on the join button by mistake.

i bet it wont hurt your library of AAA games.

If you win it on this page, no. Is not allowed

Every game you win here must be redeemed on your own account.

Why would you regift a game, that you won? If you don't want to play it, don't enter its GA (except for mass GAs), because there are people, who would like to play that particular game, and you are worsening their chances to win it.

gift it here

You can always gift things. You just can't repurpose other people's gifts for your own ends- that's one of those things that's pretty universally known to be a dickish thing to do.

Think about it in real world terms: if a family member says "Huh, I have this (object), would any of you like it?" And several members of your family raise your hands and say "Ooh, me" and the first family member says "Okay, here you go." and gives if to you-
and then you immediately turn around and say "Eh, this is shit, I didn't want it anyway, here, which of you wants it most? What'll you give me for it?"

Aaaaaand that's the dickery regifters are getting up to by regifting games here on SG.
They're being offensive to the giveaway creator and the other potential winners- and the enclosed, very visible nature of actions made on SG makes any such acts all the more pronounced, compared to real life situations.

And y'know, that's all on top of the rather obvious site exploitation- even pushing past the "using someone else's efforts to benefit yourself" and "getting something for nothing" and "the endless cycle of regifting would invalidate all credibility of the CV system" elements, if you consider CV levels as an acknowledgement of generous conduct, then exploiting the system is a massive middle finger toward legitimate giveaway creators.

tl;dr version: Please respect others.

Not only can you not regift it here, you'll have an unactivated win, which will exclude you from many GA's

Probably not, but maybe 1 or 2 will listen, but on the other hand it could prevent people from entering them that didn't know.

The punishments are sometimes lenient for some to really learn.

Regift-ception xD

bbut i wanted to do it too

No tickets for me. I'm on vacationnnnnn

+1

... isn't that what suspension is?

If they can't learn the rules which they already agreed to when creating a site we don't want them in the discussions where all they'll do is bitch and moan.

take away their ability to enter and create giveaways temporarily.

Er, that is what suspension is…

Why take their ability to create giveaways? Most of those guys didn't even make a giveaway before trying to regift this one..

Just remove all their entries, set their points to 0 with no refill for a week. But let them browse the site, so they can see all of the good giveaways they can't enter, as they don't have points... :3

Well, there can still be people that want to give it away that didn't enter for it. I don't see why they need to be punished because some people can't follow the rules.

this is also can be sign of autojoiners.

Konrads brother?

youve totally madet this thread for me.every time i read it, it got funnier

BL and double triple report for regifting a gift

2) So... I win a GA. Then buy a bundle somewhere and this game is in there. Then I wouldn't be able to create a GA.

3) would be nice. When you sync with steam get an option to remove yourself from outstanding GA's for games you own.

prevent us from entering GAs that we have already won and marked received

All you need to do is sync your steam account (which happens automaticly once per week (I believe)) so this is really already in place. The third point would be nice though. It happened to me once or twice that I won the same game because of outstanding entries.

Don't worry, there are still plenty of re-gift GAs floating around :)

bbut someone wanted to do it too

Exactly.

BUT WHAT IF THEY WERE READING THE FORUM? :OOOO

You'd just delay the inevitable as the game would be removed from your library at some point and become an unactivated win :3
