For the level issue - Because all of those games have been marked as "no value" by the mods. Meaning, these were given away for free at the point of your giveaway.
As for the message - That message appears for everyone. It's just a harmless reminder :)

Its your giveaways. Any giveaways that have been available in large numbers for free at places like indiegala or humble bundle are marked "no value" . This is done retrospectively sometimes as admin have to add them manually. This seems to be what has happened in your case.

It's okay to give away those keys but you will not gain any cv from it because they where free for all.

You can see if it gives cv or not while creating. if there is ** that mean it give no cv.

When you create a new giveaway from here: https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaways/new
While typing out the name, some of them come with a double asterisk (which I'm being unable to type, because the forum code treats it like italics). That means the game was given away for free before, so you won't get any CV from that, and consequently, your level won't rise.
Some games have a single asterisk. That means that they were given away in a bundle that reduced their price to 95% of the actual price, so you'll only get 15% of the value of that game to your CV, and thus your level will go up slower.
All the games you gave away (Overcast - Walden and the Werewolf, Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realm Starter Pack, MAZ! and The Rare Nine), were given away for free before, so they had double asterisks, thus they give you no CV, so they don't help towards your level.

You can type a * by putting a \ in front of it, like this: \*

Same thing happened to me but found out that several games I listed had become free so I was downgraded. Check to see if this happened to you.
