We don't have any history about user suspension, then i don't know when a user was suspended or not by multiple win or not actived game.
If this feature become real, i can avoid some reports and send faster my games at end of GA.

Also support.don't need to read a lot of repetitive reports.

Edit: JustArchi made a nice suggestion

A lot of times suspensions are given to new folks who haven't fully read the FAQ and learned from their mistake once the suspension ended. Having said that, its still important to know the rules, but I don't think that one time you messed up when you were a noob that you've made the effort to fix should stick with you the rest of your time here.

Big fat "no" from me.

I edited my post a little bit. I agree that if you still have unactivated/double wins as an older user people have the right to discriminate, but if you've gone back and made it right then there shouldn't be any punishment required beyond the suspension served.

Actually, if the suspension is tied to a variable in the user's account that associates to the specific giveaway, then it ought actually be pretty easy to list a past suspension to the right of game on sgtool's non-activation or multi-win lists.

Since that'd only show if the giveaway was still in violation, that'd be a happy medium of convenience and clarity for users and staff, and privacy and respect for the users involved.

From that, a user need only check if a suspension is listed, and report if it isn't.

No, that should be kept confidential.

However it'd be cool if there was an option to check last suspension date, but only for giveaway winners, before sending them the game (so before they mark as received).

I think you missed what JustArchi was getting at...

If the person info would state if they had got a suspension or not,then you would know you can not ask for a re-roll.As it stands now,unless at the current time it says they are suspended,you will not know if that game they re-gifted or whatever a year ago or a week ago has been served.So you have to request a roll and waste support time and yours if they already have been punished as it would be denied.

Though the way i understand if it was more then a month ago,they would still deny it....so i am not sure if knowing would matter lol

Comment has been collapsed.

as you are not sure, let me explain ;)

You request a reroll so Either A or B happens:
A - Winner was not suspended for this non-activation before.
B - Winner was suspended for this non-activation before.

In case of A you will always get reroll, no matter if non-activation happened 1 week before or 3 years ago. Why? Because there is also other valid reason for reroll - "Winner is Suspended". So you reported guy, he gets suspended, theorethically you could now file another ticket for reroll, this time saying "winner is suspended" but it would be pointless as these rerolls like 1-month-rulebreaking rerolls are always granted you got reroll granted in your original ticket and guy not only gets win rerolled but also suspended.

Only in case B it matters WHEN the rulebreaking happened. If rulebreaking happened 2 years ago and guy already served suspension you will not get reroll, if rulebreaking happened 3 weeks ago and guy already served his 5 days suspension - you will still get reroll granted as long as you requested a reroll in less than 1 month since he won multi/non-activated win.

Just look at VAC bans on Steam profiles. Now when you take into consideration the feature of sgtools, which checks whether or not the person entering giveaway has been VAC banned, you're already judging that person based on pure assumption.

If you could see ban history here on SG, just a lot of unnecessary blacklisting would happen.

That should actually make ppl not blacklist ppl, because they served they time imo.

Right now if someone see you broke the rule, you get reported and instant blacklisted. If someone sees you was suspended for breaking rules, and haven't broken one since, you most likely avoid blacklist and there is no reason to send report.

So you are not blacklisting, but you are refusing to let people win your games. What is the difference? It sounds like your way is worse than blacklisting.

I think you totally misunderstand him. He wants to know wheter they were punished for not activing (for example). If they were, he can just send the key and not report that person. If they didn't get punished, he has to report them.

He wants to know if the person is punished or not. If justice has been served, then he will give the gift to the winner. Otherwise he will report and refuse to give the gift away. Much like what most other users do.

It could be used to blackmail people ...
Some ppl get suspended cause they dont know the site rules ... like it is legit for some newer user to not know he should contact the GA creator if he won 2 copies of the same game in short period of time .
I can defend such people .
But lets be fair , ppl always do dumb shit , and sometimes it end up with suspensions.

Why bring someones old mistakes into the table ?
I got suspended twice for calling out , does that make me a horrible person ?
Not really .
First time i got suspended , i didnt even know i cannot call out people when they are breaking the rules >.<
Second time was me being dumb , and not phrasing my comment well >.<

Since i accept enter on the site, i am compromissed to follow the rules.

My point is:
If you got suspended by not active some win game and you win some of my GA, i will report and wait for a answer to send you a game, if i have some history, i can send at the end of GA.

if you can check multiple windows in not activated, then it should be possible to reach if the person has been punished for this. Anyone who wants to keep giving gifts without checking ok, but some people like to check if it is someone who contributes to the community or not.

  • When I find inconsistencies also make ticket, and has also received an answer that the person has already served the suspension. It would be a ticket unless more time to care about those who are not following the rules

esqueci de rever o escrito, não sei se perdeu o sentido mas o q quis dizer é o seguinte... se tem como checar multiple wins e não ativados então nada mais justo que poder checar se já cumpriram a punição por tal (pq alguns ali citaram que seria expor a pessoa -_-). Justamente pq diminuiria o número de tickets já q a nossa intenção é não premiar quem não segue as regras. E diminuir número de tickets justamente torna os tickets "reais" respondidos com mais rapidez...
eu tenho um ticket de reroll na fila pq 3 *** tinham o ganham o jogo ha 3 dias e dizeram que "ñ houve tempo para sincronizar" e estou até hoje esperando o suporte responder o que será feito tendo em vista que não há entradas suficientes para todos rerolls

and this is not public shaming? http://www.sgtools.info/multiple-wins

It is like being able to see the name of someone in the police and appear "is wanted for committing a crime," which is different from getting the result "committed crime X and served his time." Both are "shameful" but in the second case you know you do not have to open a ticket.

In the sgtools I can check anyone, but I doubt anyone go around checking everyone, who checks does so with the winners of its giveaways

As the rules and time frames are fixed - would it be unworkable if the process that selects a winner, automatically checks for multiple wins and unactivated gifts? If a violation is found - the win is put on hold and a ticket automatically forwarded to support to verify if a reroll and/or suspension is appropriate. This would mean that rules are checked consistently and apply to all winners.

Alternatively these rules could be automatically checked when doing a sync with the steam account. I've seen unactivated wins and in the following 7 days a further 5 or 6 giveaways were won on that account. I can only conclude from that, there are many users who don't bother to check their winners. There are many users who probably don't know how to check, and this sort of "admin" should be handled by processes in the background - transparent to the giveaway users.

Maybe the better idea, but implements this... :P
Not too easy. Also this can increase support tickets a lot with false-positives.

8 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

False positives can be reduced greatly through careful programming. If anything the system deciding what should be flagged would be significantly more consistent than most users doing it (if users bother to do it at all). If you are sloppy with how you define what is valid or not - then you get false positives. At the moment, I'm sure support get a lot of tickets they have to respond with "user already suspended" or some other explanation. Many problems can occur because there is a long delay before a rule breaking user comes to supports attention. If it was automated the information would usually be fresh (closer to the present time). Once support is happy that the process is correct (almost always) then forwarding tickets could be eliminated with the process being system controlled. The suspensions could always be reviewed (eg. a log report) - to keep track of what has expired.

I was just thinking (a dangerous thing to do late a night), and when receiving a key after winning - any other GAs the user is entered in for that same game, should be automatically removed. While it is unlikely that someone would win in quick succession two copies of the same game - but I've come across several "win multiple of same game" that have been dated only 1 or 2 days apart.

While it would be very useful when asking for a re-roll I also think it involves a lot of problems, as it would be indirectly calling out people. Of course, anyone can check their status anyways via sgtools easily nowadays, but I don't think everyone does, whereas such a mark on the profile is instantly visible for everybody.

Have zero reason to know what kids have had detention. If Reddit has taught me anything, ban, suspensions, and deleted comments are often as much the fault as those in power as the one that posted or did something. The fact that someone was suspended then welcomed back means the issue is over. Continued persecution by wearing a scarlet letter serves no purpose other than to drive people away.

Or the solution I'm sure lots of users do: "Can't be stuffed doing a ticket, I want my CV, just give it to them - not my problem".

Which is why this side of the site / user admin should be automated and not left up to users to check the winners past history and adherence to site rules. Users should just see - "this user is a valid winner - send them the key". No decision required.

It's considered classified information, though. That's just how it is. As far as forums go, you don't put tags on banned / suspended people because it's the same thing as labelling somebody a criminal. I, admittedly, have gotten a 2-day suspension before for being a jerk(this was 2 years ago) but that's really it. I'm a drastically different person from 2 years ago albeit I can't exactly apologize for the comment. Who's to say somebody who broke a major rule a few years ago is still subject to the consequences today? Consequences shouldn't be permanent.

I feel like that's still putting a label on somebody but at least it's less public. Assuming everybody doesn't share the information of "X person is a baddie!

Since the unactivated and multiple wins are already visible (if one is checking for it), perhaps a Time Served note or icon could be added to those specific giveaways by the staff member who grants the suspension.
