I made a small give away about a month ago, or so, and just now this guy suddenly comments "Thanks" to me. It was closed over a month ago, so he must be using some kind of bot, or is incredibly stupid...
Should I report him?

Edit: Sorry for this!
Have a give away for the trouble! (Don't worry, I won't put it in the title, only people who visited here can have it)
k 9 ? R g (replace the question mark with an "s")

For using a bot?

As much as I personally despite bot users here, it is not against the rules - as far as I know.

It's sad, sometimes I post randomly-generated comments or giveaways' descriptions, because I'm lack of creativity.
Should I be considered as bot? -_-
Btw, it will be really hard to prove that such comment was left by bot.

Damn. I looked at the ToS only once. I am trying to keep up additions to the FAQ & guidelines.

Thanks for the information.

Looks like one of those GAs that ended at the same time. SharpEyez don't seem to do re-rolls, so there's really nothing that ollie444 could do to get rid of that double win. Several users have had issues with this, which I suspect is part of the reason why they changed the system for how developer GAs is handled.

Why not "1 Received, 1 Non-Received"?

Not received games still show up in the won list (you can check my won list and you'll see what I mean). And only the names of 3 winners are shown, which means that there's no fast way of telling if some specific user marked a game as not received.

If the giveaway creator won't reroll, then you have to mark it as not-received after 7 days. This shouldn't create double wins for anyone.

I think the correct way is to leave no feedback at all. Marking as not received when key was delivered is suspendable offence.

Yeah that's probably best. Fnord just made a good point about not-received still showing up as "won" so not marking it and putting in a ticket is probably the best.

Not received games still show up in the won list though.

Fair point. I guess leaving it unmarked and putting in a support ticket is best then.

Ive seen people get blacklisted because of these giveaways
I dont know where to post this, but:
If you won more then once and he doesn't accept the reroll, leave it unmarked

And if you want to report someone for multiple wins, please do that silently. It's not okay to do that in a public thread.

Was it the winner? If so, maybe he finally got around to playing it and wanted to thank you.

The person who won your game just won another game from the person who commented on your giveaway. So it's likely they just checked the winner's previous wins, saw your description, and messed with you.

Maybe your winner read the Un-blacklist thread, saw that a lot of people blacklist for not thanking after winning the giveaway and decided to thank you now just in case you decided to blacklist people who won your giveaways and didn't say thank you.
Anyway, why do you ask? It's not like saying thank you is a bad thing, right? Did you ask him why he did it?

The same came to my mind :)

That's no sign for a bot. Also the user would have a lot more comments if he'd used a bot that is this inaccurate with it's "thanks" messages.
Right know you're actually close to calling out someone, which could get you suspended.

No matter his reason, a single month-old comment is by no means any valid reason to report someone. You must've been able to figure that out by yourself.
