Yes. Many users here in SG really hate when someone see Contributor Value as a "investment". I'm one of those.

After reading some comments in that thread (most of you know which one), I would like to propose a suggestion:

What about if addon SG+ is integrated in main site? Or maybe if this is too complex, why don't add some code to show to every user only those giveaways where they are able to join? In this way, when a new user comes here (as usual mostly of them don't read FAQ and after giving away some bundles are whining about his CV), he will only see giveaways with no contributor value. Therefore, chances that they will see CV as a investment are lower.

What do you think about this?

I would like to explain myself better but my english isn't good enough. Still I guess my short post makes it understandable.

Basically, don't show red.
The problem with making it server-side processing (like filtering games you own) is that it increases load on the server.
Making it JS that users download would take away the processing load, but add traffic.
Having SG+ as a 3rd party addon is the best overall solution.

Ok, but how much load could be add something like:

if CVgiveaway > CVuser then
showonlist();
end;

IMO, that would remove some traffic because won't load all page.
