How to cheat your way to level 10 fast

Bold text interrupts again
But there's a limit of 1,000 users you can blacklist, if I remember correctly.

If the site only had 1002 members the plan might totally work....

This is brilliant.

Unfortunately, AFAIK the blacklist has a 1000-user cap.

Oh well, time for a support ticket to expand mine.

EDIT: goddamnit, beaten to the punch.

Well.. uh... crap.

Just find some level 6+ to do the job for you and done :D
There's less than 1000 at level 6+ :D

I-I'm not s-suggesting anything

View attached image.

If you mark games as received and you don't add them, you'll get a nice ban... So enjoy xD

Also, to point out another flaw in th eplan:
This part " He then marks it received even though it wasn't delivered, and the gifter levels up!" will get folks suspended/banned for not activating wins.

edit: bah. beaten by 9 seconds :(

too much work. faulty plan. come up with something better.

I say that's a pretty good plan, apart from a major flaw. Everytime you make a giveaway, your friend who "won" it will be banned because he didn't activate said gift. As such, you need one friend per giveaway. Alas, criminal masterminds aren't exactly fond of the whole friendship stuff.

WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THAT GENIUS?

So much work, with a multiple personality disorder of 5 you can easily get to level 10....and sadly we know that is true.

I once almost got banned for writing a hypothetical way of cheating the system.

Suspension:
Misuse of Giveaway Feedback - Permanent

you both get permaban :D: there's already been several cases like that - most recently idiot caled himself out on forums :D:

For missuse of GA feedback all accounts who take part in it gets perma-ban.

or just hack cg's account. take over sg. make everyone your slave. make them fight for you. claim a land. become a king. take over the world piece by piece.

just find five friends, problem solved

1. Create a game using RPG maker.
2. Promise keys to people who vote for you
3. Get greenlight
4. (optional) Give keys to voter and ask for good review for an extra key.
5. Make a 1'000'000 copies giveaway
6. Deliver
7. Level 10
8. Profit

(For leveling up even faster, make sure you don't bundle your game)

Cheating is bad.

All giveaways require 5 entries to count toward your level, not just group/private/whitelist.

question is why u still lvl 1? haha
try it, then share it :v

I know its a bit of silly, but since I filter, I don't know.

Is there really that many Level 10 giveaways to risk getting banned for something like ? Most giveaways you will win are from private giveaways anyway ;p Since I got on level 4, I didn't saw much increase in giveaways - there is like 20 level 4 giveaways a month - or thats how I feel ;p

isn't there something like a 1000 blacklisted member limit ?

Will not work, buddy.

"If a giveaway is invite only, or for a whitelist or Steam group, it will only add value towards your level if it receives 5 or more entries. We made this change to combat small groups of friends from attempting to cheat the contributor system, and to encourage users to expand the reach of their giveaways. The new whitelist feature offers an easy way to target a larger audience, and you can combine it with small Steam groups to receive a greater number of giveaway entries if needed."

Listen, listen, LISTEN! I have a great idea too!
How about and I know this might sound very risky... You give away a lot of games!

No silly. You do a private GA and you have 5 fake accounts. Silly.
