Not sure if serious or sarcastic
he is giving you a game and you let him wait for weeks (a month). You get the game without even thanking after all that crap?
Damn the facepalm is hurting me

It appears that he is serious.
Checked out his profile. He says he won Goat Simulator, and Goat Simulator is indeed in his library. However, it is not on his wins list, and someone on his Steam profiles seems to be asking for him to mark a win as received??? (That user's Steam pic doesn't seem to appear at all on his win list. So I'll just be an assuming asshole and believe that he still hasn't marked his win as received yet.)
What makes it more cringe inducing is that he has the audacity to complain about it.

If I understood it correctly the GA creator asked for a reroll (which apparently got granted) but had already sent the gift so OP could still redeem it. So OP got a game he didn't win and GA creator has to supply an extra copy to the new winner.
Sound like a proper dick move to me.

Oh. Thanks for clearing that up, though I don't know if that's a more or less douchebag-ish move than what I assumed he did.

I guess I would say less (if my theory is correct):
A) Would be Misuse of Giveaway Feedback which would justify a Permanent Ban
B) Would be keeping a game that was not intended for you but somehow ended up in your hands. Which is still highly immoral but not covered by SG rules.

Jims9350 opens a very valid point. He received the gift, and accepted it. He could have easily marked it as received at that time. And the guy who sent it to him clearly asked for him to mark it as received, so he most likely had plenty of time to mark it as received before the reroll was requested by the GA creator.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm not defending OP's actions. I actually find them quite inconsiderate and entitled. I was just saying that unless the GA in question was not rerolled (and is still pending feedback) he didn't break any actual SG rules. Typical example of Justice versus Law.

I don't think you are. Just thought this was a meaningful conversation :P

:D I just like to clarify a lot here on SG because in such an international community and with people of so many different mindsets things can very easily get lost in translation. Or something that might appear completly obvious to me might look totally different to someone else.
It's a bit like when people people refer to games or movies by abbreviations or with the subtitle without adding the franchise.
There's a lot of games, movies and books in the world and just because Tales of Zestiria is everything that's on your mind right now gamingwise that must not be the case for everyone. So I'd apreciate if people actually spelled out the names of stuff they are talking about (at least if they are mentioning it without context) instead of using gibberish like COD, ToZ, LOL, HON and so on...
Sorry if that analogy didn't work out perfectly... I think I might have digressed a little bit :D

This thread is just going to get you blacklisted even more....
Also if winner doesen't accept Key/Gift within a week GA creator can ask re-roll , your HDD or steam problem doesen't matter sorry...

^ This +1ⁿ
I was wondering why the week rule had not yet been addressed when that is really what should be addressed. I will try to be to the point, and also try to avoid being a complete D here but;
On one hand you are asking others to give you a month to accept a gift. You site the fact that you have a "life," and therefore cannot be expected to check the site and Steam regularly. However, by making a statement asking us to bend the one week rule you are either in a position where you never read the rules, or worse you have an expectation that somehow the rest of us have some obligation to remember we need to make this exception for you.
Honestly, I would review what your expression means here. As I read it, you are exclaiming (or rather screaming) that you are somehow an exception here because you have a life. By that same token perhaps one could draw from you the sentiment that the rest of us do not?
In the eyes of the gifter you were violating the rules, and although they may have veered down a different road than some would; I cannot fault them for their blacklist decision let alone their attempt to obtain a re-roll. What's worse is that this thread reads as if you are somehow entitled to a treatment beyond that everyone else. Not to mention it seems to insinuate that the rest of us essentially have no jobs and/or no lives. No offense, but your argument against the person is baseless. If you truly feel the one week rule is garbage then lay down your contention for the rule, but don't berate the person who has the audacity to expect other users to follow them.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, and sorry you're having PC issues ... but a giveaway creator is only required to wait one week before asking for a re-roll.
Many might be kind enough to wait longer if you are patient and explain the situation to them, but I certainly wouldn't expect them all to agree.
You also might wait to enter giveaways until the situation with your PC is in order, rather than blaming the giveaway creators for not waiting on you. ;)

Looked into a bit but couldn't find anything hidden so i guess yes. :/

I can understand 10 days or so but to want someone to wait a month doesn't seem reasonable. Plus if you have issues which can't even open steam why would someone want to give you a game that you can't even play.

I find this gif fits a lot of situations here on SG

Take a look at the comments on his steam profile. It seems like people have tried to contact him in regards to winning games. The latest one is not on his "won" list, so the person has probably requested a re-roll.. So yes, it looks like he is serious :(

LittleBibo1 managed to find another reason for him to never win one of your giveaways as well. So like in so many other cases, it's just not one infraction, but a whole series.

Yup. Regardless of excuses, non activated games is a perfectly fine reason for the blacklist to be used.
Your attitude also leaves something to be desired.
Comment has been collapsed.
You have multiple wins that you've not activated, that's against the rules. That's reason enough for me to put you on my blacklist.

All right. You certainly won't have a chance to win from me any more. COD Ghosts, Max Payne 3 complete, GTA collection, Shadow of Mordor. Yup, it's confirmed, I've only ever given shitty bundle games.
Comment has been collapsed.
still didn't
And here is another reason to blacklist you. You're unwilling to learn the rules. You're just showing a lack of respect for other people the way you behave. You expect people to just wait for you to fix your problems or not activating the games that you won and following the site rules, those are just two sides of the same coin.

that was also my first thought... someone cant possibly complain about his own shortcomings in such a language.....
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm sorry that I did not express myself clearly here.
By your own shortcomings i was referencing you complaining about the GA creator asking for a re-roll while he had to wait for more than a week for you to respond.
I did not refer to the english language in my complaint but to the expressions you used. Since I am not a native speaker some of your expressions were hard to understand (e.g. "MadCuzBad") for me and the constant use of the f-word somehow insulting.
I don't know what you are labeling retarded in your last comment. I hope that I cleared up my remarks with this post. Denoting anything as retarded is certainly not necessary in any context here.

Support does not nor will grant a re-roll until 7 days have passed,so you may not remember but it was at least 7 days.Seven days is for both sides each has 7 days to respond.
Comment has been collapsed.
Maybe you could wait and not to take part on giveaways if you have problems with your PC? The usual week is enough time to activate one gift / key; if you can't do it in that time don't participate. I'm not saying that you are a bad guy or anything like that but remember to think this from the perspective of the gifter too.
And if this is just a troll bait or joke: good job :)

You do seem to have enough time to come here and complain about your issues with Steam and your hard drive instead of fixing those issues, though.
Comment has been collapsed.
Blaming one's hard drive for unactivated wins usually ends up badly. A certain "developer" can tell you about it.
Comment has been collapsed.
In case of this is not a bait or a joke, you can always check the Steamgifts via browser, including the browser on your phone.
Checking once every 2 or 3 days won't be that hard I think, and when you win something you can explain to them about your condition.

I wonder if there ever was a thread where the OP complained about being blacklisting and actually benefited from it in any way? I'm pretty sure it almost always result in them being added to more and more blacklists. Duct tape is silver.

This isn't calling out like "i was scammed by ..." which can lead to false accusations

Yeah but I know the case where someone pointed out same for some certan dev that didn't activate his win (like 21 or so -.- ) and it ended up person who pointed it out got suspended while that dev activated all keys afterwards and got unsuspended...
Comment has been collapsed.
Actually he's right even this completly accurate kind of calling out is forbidden and could earn you a short suspension...
What you ARE allowed to say is stuff like:
On an completly unrelated note may I quote from the FAQ:
Can I enter a giveaway for a friend?
You should only enter to win giveaways for yourself, and if you win a game, it must be activated and redeemed to the Steam account used during registration. If a friend is interesting in joining giveaways, they'll need to register for their own account.
Yea I know it's hilarious but that's the way it works ;)

Wait a month for you to mark as received? Nah, I think I found a little button that'll make sure I never have to deal with that situation :)
Comment has been collapsed.
If you're asking someone to be generous with you, you should make it as easy and nice for them to do so as possible.
Some thing you may not know: as long as you don't mark received, the sender doesn't get credit, and doesn't (potentially) move up a level. That's important, because some giveaways are limited to higher levels.
This is why people get frustrated when you don't respond in a timely manner.
