The problem is that when the bundles change, like it did tonight, the admins will have to manually ban the game from the site. Until then the points system is screwed.

Why are you having such a problem with it. I created a giveaway because I had an extra copy. I think that its a good idea to give others a chance to receive my extra copy.
Many of the giveaway's from the humble bundles are 'extra copies'. Just leave it as it is.

Most Humble Frozen Synapse Bundle copies are purchased by 1 cent each. Each one of those copies include a copy of Frozen Synapse and SpaceChem.
While this act of purchasing the bundles by 1 cent is extremely immoral, it can be at the same time chaotic for the website as a whole. People from all over the place make public giveaways of the bundles that were most likely exploited (Yes, paying 1 cent for the bundle is exploitation), and consequentialy everyone gets shittons of points, resulting in millions of entries in every other somewhat interesting giveaway, thus making winning chances on said giveaways nanometric.
From what I heard, the administration of this website actually supports the indie developers making these bundles, and the mods (plus a crapton of people) find the exploitation of these bundles a disgusting thing to do. While there are some people who purchase these bundles legitimaly, It's more likely they didn't.
Hence why these bundles are not being allowed to be given away at the current time, because it is on sale for 1 cent and people are more likely to literally flood the website with them, and even then when the sale finishes people will still giveaway these exploited copies on the website because they always stock pile them for some god freaking reason. This temporary rule stating that you're not allowed to giveaway Bundles on sale is more of a "flood gate" system, because their "presence" is unavoidable.
If you want to give your legitimate spare copy away, make a Private Giveaway and give those interested the link.

There's also the issue of the Humble Bundle guys stating that the keys you get from the bundle are for your personal use. By giving away the key they give you, you're kinda being a dick.

Whoops did not read that. Well, later on I will just keep it for personal use. BTW, I do support the Indie game developers and just to be clear, I donated $15 for all those games (I know it not much, but its better than $0.01).

Compare to $0.01, there's $14.99 more than $0.01
And it's 150000% more than $0.01 too

Shit loads of spacechem giveaway had been created, because the recent Humble Frozen Synapse Bundle had added Spacechem.
Remove the game from the list until the Humble Frozen Synapse Bundle sale is over, and remove those giveaways.
