It has gotten to the point where CG showed up in a topic and said what while this community is about giving, this account has made over 50 topics promoting their site yet hasn't created an actual SG giveaway, and for any more site links to be in SteamGifts giveaways in the future.
So now they run away since they can't spam.

Wouldn't it have been easier (and more harmonious all round) if they'd started making some Steamgifts giveaways?

I'm assuming they make money from people visiting their site, so getting us there has advantages.

What I mean is if they'd mixed it up a bit with some Steamgifts and some off-site giveaways, they might have been given a bit more latitude?
As it is, trying to piggyback on a more popular site (Steamgifts) without making any genuine contribution to the site in the way of giveaways and without a referral arrangement seems more than a little dubious.

Oh, I know, but they wouldn't be able to bleed someone with giveaways here, and most people wouldn't bother visiting if they could already get half the games here.

Yeah the difference is he may only advertise site / fb fanpage in description, but then it's up to user if he will click it or not. Making standard SG GiveAways he wouldn't be able to for example require you to go to their FB page, like, coment and share GA picture on your FB wall etc ;) From his point of view making a standard SG GiveAway is far less profitable advertising that what he's been doing before ;)
ofc above post doesn't mean that by any stretch of imagination I'm supporting his point in any way ;p

As cg mentioned:
"If you want to run giveaways for the SG community, please use the tools we have in place. If you want to plug your site, please do so from the descriptions of your giveaways."
Just the "spammy" threads aren't nice.
You should start giveaways here and in the description link to your site if you want to link to other giveaways.
It would be a good way to promote and actually participate actively of the SG community, without the "spam".

You are right ... i can do this - But it looks, the people dont want this also - If i read the comments im not welcome here - This hurts!

Well, many people appreciate the giveaways, and many people like your site (me including).
But the spamming was kinda getting annoying... it's not that you created sooo much threads, but you encouraged people to write in your thread, so it was always one of the top threads here. For people who actually want to use the forum to discuss things, your topics were annoying.
So using the actual steamgifts-tool to giveaway stuff and using the description would be a good way to continue your promotion of your site, because noone will get annoyed by that.

You were flooding community with unnecessary spam, so you shouldn't be surprised by the comments you're getting.
You tried to shamelessly use popular site to promote your own, without permission from nor creator nor anyone from staff. That's what you're getting these comments for, not because "community did not understand your generous spirit". It doesn't work that way. You screwed up so it's your job to eventually win back community's trust. Untill you do you shouldn't expect nice encouraing comments, as you did nothing to deserve those.

I can honestly say I've never paid any attention to your threads (been away for months), so I can't speak with knowledge of what's been going on, but if you're posting multiple threads (especially if you leave the last one up), then you're spamming and it's not wanted. If you have one singular thread at a time, which you can update whenever you need to, maybe closing one thread and starting a new one every few weeks, that will be far, far more tolerated and welcomed. Out of curiosity, I skimmed through your site trying to find out what you even are and bought a bundle I'd never even heard of, so thank you for that.
That said, if the Word of God says to use giveaways, why don't you do this? Make a Steam group for Epic Bundle, which you can then use to announce stuff there as well, and make group giveaways for it, say, a copy of every bundle. Make your posts on this site about that group and the giveaways you make for it, and advertise the site on the giveaways. You get business, we get giveaways, no-one gets spammed and feels annoyed, no-one gets attacked for sad spam. Voila, that's everyone happy.

Your spam isn't welcome here, and that is almost the only thing you have given here. See your profile? Not a single giveaway started. But you keep posting your bloody links everywhere. You want to advertise? Pay for bloody ads.

Ok, i tried to create an sg-giveway with Bundle In A Box - Capsule Computers Bundle! I´ts not available at the dropdown! What now? (also the Bundle Stars - Outlaw Bundle is not available)
How can i make a giveaway with this bundle?
Comment has been collapsed.
Either make a giveaway for one game in the bundle, and then give all the games to the winner, or makes seperate giveaways for all the games inside the bundle and have different winners.
Comment has been collapsed.
^ This.
Specially if those are separate keys, it's better to create a giveaway for each. If you don't have enough giveaway slots for many simultaneous giveaways when you successfully complete 3 GAs you get 1 new slot.
If it's a single key and it's not available then it's better to wait and suggest support to add the game/collection.

While this particular one isn't possible, many of the bundles you've given away in your threads are. To intimate that you would have loved to use the SG system, but none of the bundles you wanted to give away were on there is disingenuous and does your cause no favours at all.
You could always pick and choose appropriately, depending on whether the bundles were on the SG list or not. However, I'm not sure you ever had any desire to do so, otherwise presumably (being an intelligent and capable SG user) you would have done so...
I never found your threads annoying, but always wondered whether things might end this way if you carried on making all of your giveaways outside of the Steamgifts system. It sounds as though you've made your mind up though, so farewell and good luck with the website :)

Ok, i just started a first sg-giveaway with a single game! More easy for the beginning.

I'm a web developer, and the design gives me headache. :(

I agree. I personally don't think he was disturbing at all, many ppl opens thread here with non-sense, at least his was a usefull one.
But lately something else is getting annoying, which is the reason I suddendly stoped visiting the forum and I'm not coming back. I won't name anybody nor say details, I can only tell 1 thing: learn to link rules to situations and to humanity. Blindly applying them won't make you more correct.
Good Luck epicbundle, I'll keep visiting your site as it saves me lot of time finding the bundles.
