Can some1 explain me what is: "Started Patreon beta testing."?
Comment has been collapsed.
This site may be getting Patreon funding, right now cg is trying to decide on some suitable rewards and is letting us play with them. Just look at the spiffy avatar boarder on my profile.

A blue line is spiffy? You can't even snort that, it's the wrong colour.

"Staff members can now remove suspensions from other staff members of the same rank, when they could previously only remove suspensions from roles of a lower rank."
Well, staff aren't supposed to be getting suspensions to begin with... if they do, then they aren't a very good staff member and should probably be "fired".

The original phrasing was super confusing indeed, thanks for the explanation :)

So it's more along the lines of
Staff members can now remove suspensions issued by staff members of the same rank

Ah, I see. That definitely makes more sense. Thank you for clearing up the confusion, Pete. (:

cg, will it ever be possible to add a "DLC giveaways for the games you own" filter? Those are quite rarer, and thus much easier to miss.
EDIT: To be clear, I meant on the front page, alongside filter public, group, wishlist giveaways etc.

It's already in the account settings, just phrased differently - hide DLC from games you don't own

He did it (maybe you've seen it, I just got home) :)

Not really. If it goes ahead, it will be cosmetics and removal of advertising.
Though I suppose those members could always change their profile colours to something similar to a gold tint.

that's still rather.... shall we say... interesting..
sometimes i think jokes get taken too far, and we practically begged for this one.

it will be cosmetics
Hats, skins, clothes, and stuff? :O

That's translated into how many Gun Monkeys giveaways?

Now, I demand steamgifts to be translated into Greek too. I want to see the word "ΞαλάκαΟ" multiple times. >:(
Comment has been collapsed.
My translation would be like "Ξαλάκα, μαλάκα, μαλάκα, μαλάκα, μαλάκα, μαλάκα". :P Quality translation, but still lacking variety.

Added notification on the giveaways won page, reminding users to activate their wins.
This was a brilliant addition. I salute you.

Great addition :) No more worries about used keys when re-rolling. ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
Giveaway creators will see an eye icon next to each key on their giveaways, if the winners have clicked the button to view them.
Absolutely fantastic addition! Thank you!
Comment has been collapsed.
Nice updates, it was always a risk when there was a reroll wondering if the person may have passed along the key to someone else after seeing it. I never personally ran into anyone who did that, thankfully, but this should reduce some of the cold feet...
Comment has been collapsed.
What happens if they reveal the key, but still request a reroll? Is there a standard policy for this?
Perhaps there should be a message about being sure you don't already own the game before revealing the key?
This may make some people just mark an already owned game as "Received" rather than going through the hassle of a reroll if they discover that they already owned the game after they revealed the key.
Comment has been collapsed.
Based on my experience with winning and giving away a game since this change, there is no warning or instructions to the winner, it just reveals the key when you click to reveal the key. And for the giveaway there is a little icon to indicate that it has been revealed.
So at least we'll know for sure that the key hasn't been viewed yet. But otherwise, they can just give it to a friend and claim it was already used or whatever like they normally could. Scammers gonna scam.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm not really talking about scammers.
Let's just say that I enter a GA for a game I don't own. Before that GA ends, I get that game from some other source and redeem it to my account. I forget about the original GA and win.
I reveal the key (neglecting to check if I already own it), and when I try to redeem, it says "already owned".
This is the dilemma. What do I do? If I request a reroll, will it automatically be denied due to having revealed the key? Or is it just the same as it was before?
If the reroll is granted and the key turns out to be a duplicate, am I on the hook for it now since I revealed the key even though it might have been a duplicate all along?
I guess I am just wondering how this now affects liability, as opposed to the old method. I am not sure what would happen if a reroll was a dup before, but I can see how in the above case that the GA winner would be much more suspected of foul play than they might have been before (you shouldn't have revealed the key if you already owned it, so now you are responsible!).
And if this is the case, there is much more incentive for the original GA winner to violate the rules and just mark the key as received and give it away to a friend rather than risk the key being a duplicate and being accused of using it and requesting a reroll.
Plus now, for every win, there is an extra step (double check that you don't already own the game before revealing the key), whereas before you could just try to redeem it and act appropriately based on the result (redeemed, already owned, or duplicate).
There may be many people who just don't want to do that extra step for every win...

same as it was before, the faq &/or guidelines haven't changed.

idk how this dilemma was handled before tbh, but afaik there wouldn't be any change here either.

doesn't matter whether they like to pay attention or not, they need to.
Comment has been collapsed.
Actually, if everything is just like it was before (as your responses indicate), then they don't need to pay attention. Unless there is a penalty for revealing the key when you already own the game, there is no reason not to do it other than being nice.
I suppose that leaving the key unrevealed absolves the original GA winner of any culpability if the key is a dupe, but I don't know that they had any culpability before this change, so I don't know if it is different now.
Comment has been collapsed.
the change is merely for comfort. at least currently. (the faq/guideline hasn't changed, so it's not my presumption.)

Yay, finally we will know for sure to reroll or request feedback. \^_^/

Loving the view key function - very useful for reroll purposes or requesting feedback! Thanks! :>

Now we only need exchange of the "received" button to the "activated" button :P

Feedback now locks after it's in the received state for 30 days. After that point, users will need to submit a ticket to modify their feedback.
Yay for "can't mark win as not-received to be able to pass SGtools or get rid of multiple wins"!

Hey, nice to see that the admin does listen to some of us. :)

Nice additions. Thanks. Have to say nevertheless that I am not an absolute fan of things blinking on my screen. Reminds me of "under construction" blinking lights on each and every websites in the mid 90s (yeah I'm old).

Thank you for all the changes! Specially for the locked feedback one :3
