People should have to apply to be allowed to give gifts.

That way you could look at their account to make sure it wasn't created a few days ago or that it has the game its trying to gift.

I've noticed a trend of people dubiously putting up expensive games as gifts, in what I'd guess is an attempt to game the system to boost the P income of their "real" account

While the extra P from gaming of the system is nice, it does seem to go completely against the spirit of this website.

A recent example: http://www.steamgifts.com/user/Charliezard

Because putting extra steps between generous people and them doing people favours is awesome!

In all seriousness though, the fake giveaways don't hurt anyone. Don't worry about it so much.

Spare me your sarcasm.

And I'd say it hurts the people who waste their points on fake giveaways.

Just what we need. More limitations on making giveaways. I wish I could make 21 giveaways at once but ah well. 7 is more than enough I guess.

Between the site not counting giveaways with only one entry, getting bugged by people who want you to give them games outside of Steamgifts (just because you're a nice guy or some crap like that) and some other stuff I won't get into it's hard enough to justify giving away a game. If you think losing a regenerating resource on fake giveaways is bad you surely won't like having 300 points but nothing to spend them on.

You'd probably make all the moderaters kill themselves with something like this.

I think the suggestion could be worse. He could've suggested having all crap being approved by mods. Now there's a nightmare.

EDIT: by having all crap approved I mean approving posts like this here and viewing another user's profile, etc.
