Hi SG, you likely noticed the homepage poll the past week. I'd like to rotate the poll on a regular basis, but coming up with entertaining polls is not one of my strengths, so I think it's best if I open the floor up to suggestions. Feel free to post your ideas below, whether they're off-topic, game, or SteamGifts related. If you like any of the ideas shared, +1 to show your support, and I'll start choosing suggestions to appear on the homepage. Thanks!

Favorite Bundle Site

  • Humble Bundle
  • Bundle Stars
  • Indie Gala
  • Groupees
  • Other (or add more, there are too many for me to list)

hopefully that won't devolve into the correct way to spell favorite, that can be saved for ... another poll!

"Do you expect your gifts to be played?"

And some options like

  • Yes, all of my gifts! (perhaps only excluding the lowest quality games)
  • At least gifts I consider worthy, the good quality games (community wishlisted, personally special and given away to share the experience etc.)
  • At least the most expensive/unbundled games, they are not appearing from nowhere you know!
  • No, when I give away the gift, I don't care at all what happens to the game, winner is free to act as they like

Of course such a poll doesn't make really much sense as all the users who don't give away much presents or don't invest much money/effort in giveaways could vote the last option and this would not show the opinion of gift givers.

this is probably a better thread than a poll ... but that thread could always include a poll :)

Which site change would you like to see the most?

  • More flexible interface to define region locks (e.g. per country checkboxes)
  • Anti bot protection (e.g. captcha or daily quota)
  • Better documentation
  • Increase the 1000 user limit for whitelists and/or blacklists
  • Stricter policy against users with unactivated wins (e.g. prevent them from entering GAs until they fix past infractions)
  • Automatic re-gifting detection
  • Option to embed images in the middle of the text, instead of collapsed at the bottom [this one gets my top vote]
  • An option to search own forum posts and giveaway comments
  • Better handling of groups (e.g. exclude followed groups from the groups list; allow pinning favorite groups to the top of the list)
  • Hide games the user tagged as Not Interested on Steam from the giveaways list
  • etc...

If cg picks a few of these that are already on the shortlist for a poll, it may help with assigning priority. Though I imagine the number of threads created about bugs/suggestions is a pretty good indicator already

Will polls be kept so we can see historic results? After they are no longer on the main page will they be read only somewhere?

Can you associate the community poll with a topic in the discussion section or add comments?
I feel like just voting is not enough, I want to discuss the subject! (Like on the current one, I'd vote for several options and I want to mention that somewhere!

Do you believe cg will answer this ticket in his queue since 2 years ?

  • Yes, I believe
  • Yes, I want to believe
  • Of course, our savior would not let us in pain
  • How dare you doubt it ?

Just a joke-bump, I totally understand there are priorities and only 24h a day :)

How did you find SG?

  • Internet Search
  • Steam (forums, activity, groups)
  • Word of Mouth
  • Other

Probably could be a few other options but I can't think of any more at the moment ...

Also, has this feature been deprecated already?

Can we have a poll asking if we should reduce reduce the points generation? I think it would be good to drop it to 3% instead of 5%.

I know the leaches outnumber the givers and the winning choice in the poll would be no, but I also know there are a lot of users in favor of this and I think it would make the site better by forcing people to enter games they want to play instead of everything they can just to +1 their Steam account.

I'm not sure this would make a good poll at all, and you've even provided the reason why.

Would probably be better served in Bugs/Suggestions, IMHO.

I have seen multiple threads about it from other users in the past and didn't want to start another. I just figured the poll would be an excuse to bring it up again without starting another thread :)

Combine it with my idea of dropping bundle game CV from 15% to 10%, and we can have the most one-sided poll in the site's history. :3

I like that idea as well. With the low cost of bundles and the amount CV they provide, the site is currently setup for users to gain the most by giving bundled games. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of good bundled games and I like being able to enter tons of giveaways for them if I don't want to buy the bundle, but this really limits the number of unbundled games given. I don't have a lot of money to throw around and I am guilty of this as well. I mostly give bundle leftovers or highly discounted games.

There is another problem that I don't see a way to solve. Once a game is bundled, it always gives bundled value. If a good game gets bundled and then never shows up in another bundle, it almost never gets given away because it now gives such a low CV value and isn't worth buying to give away unless you have the money and just want to make someone happy. Good luck with making someone happy though, with the amount of points we currently have to throw around it will most likely just be a +1 on someones Steam account.

Now what a about a poll similar to this one.

Should games that haven't been bundled in a year give full CV?

Because it would be a very bad change. Everyone would just hoard bundle keys and hold on to them for a year to get full CV. This would completely ruin the CV system.

Makes alot of sense.
So AAA games lost alot of money bundling their game just once.

The game isn't going to bundled list just by being in a bundle, it's the discount that matters.
How many AAA titles have you seen going over 95% discount early stages?

Yes, that is the sad truth, once a game is bundled, it loses a lot of it's value. There are a lot of people that hoard keys at the very cheap price and then sell them after the bundle ends which keeps the value of the game down. It is not possible to abuse the system here on SG like that because once a game is bundled it always stays bundled. Allowing people to get full value for bundled games after they hold onto the game for a year will break the CV system. It would be nice if there was a way to fix this and bring back value to previously bundled games without allowing people to cheat the system, but I don't think anyone has thought of it yet.

Should we link user's points cap with Contributor Level?

It doesn't make alot of sense to give both level 0 and a level 10 users the same 300 points cap.

i know, lv10 should have 100 points max since they are rich and can buy their own games.
i learned this from comments in the forums. 😎
