I had this idea because the threads about game codes/in game codes are taken by bots some times so this might can be help a little
As you can guess only steamgift users can see this threads idk what else to say(it might can be problem if it's an option so I suggest mods specially chose these threads not as an option for users)(or a games code/codes section might can be good idk)

Yes its necessarily
It might can be good
Doesn't matter
I don't like it Bec xxx reason
I hate it Bec xxx reason
Others?

Before you make much more topics, unless you got a golden idea these type of things will probably never been used or implemented, and this site has been going around for a bunch of years now, mostly under a if it ain't broken don't fix it system, and the owner already puts his time into other things.

Second again no offense to your english, but if one starts with an idea/suggestion you should formulate things properly, and trust me i can read some broken english but what i said in the other one, it's a bit of a puzzle, like "2.1 an sofware"?

What you said there are too many users anyway and so few mods with other tasks to do.

Oh i was wrote this at first thread and then saw it's too non related so i copy paste and i forgot to delete that part sorry for that
And it's not a to good reason but am at phone and i delete or choose things etc and sometimes screen gets smaller or focus to somewhere etc. After i wrote if i make it small to check thing i wrote it's became to small and if I make it close and then check it harder to focus on it for me

If first one I'll try to explain again
Since there is some bots that collecting game codes with a high speed before people's to activate those codes
And i thought if there is threads that only steamgift users can see the people's that using bots are can't see these codes(only non steam gift users can't see so/but there's steamgift users who using bots so this will just increase the chance to activating manuel not by bots )

His suggestion is to make some discussions visible only to logged in users.

It won't help against bots, since bot creators can just implement login for bots.
Also, I strongly believe that problem of bots a greatly exaggerated, especially now, when site have very strict rate-limiting policy.

The system goes on-line August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic giveaway entering and forum scraping. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

I just checked with my second account, used only to farm cards (so I spent exactly 0$ on it, only free games).
Result is attached. Some people have a huge farms of bots, hundreds or even thousands of them. All of these accounts can be used to register here. So no, it does not help even a tiny bit.
Not to mention that chances of someone who has account worth less than 100$ will create bot are not existent.

Wait, you would have been able to register an account with all free games on here? I was thinking the system was constructed in a way that would prevent that... o.O

yes, only free games. probably some of them from giveaways that were not massive enough to get free/bundled status on sg.

There are so many many games that have been given away free but staff never got around to it, and never will.

I adressed the issue, i offered to help, but never got back to, probably too much work, someone will always find a loophole.

They also don't need to be free, just trash from the 1-5 cent per game period where you could sell the cards for more than the game cost.

Ah nice, seems like the check happens before creation of account now. It wasn't like that when I tested it so I actually have 2 accounts here :P
