I am russian, and i feel ashamed for my countrymans. Behaving themselfs like a barbarians, trying to get a FREE game and don't even realise than increasing amount of users shall decrease their own chanses to win at absolute zero. Banning them won't stop this: http://www.google.ru/#sclient=psy&hl=ru&newwindow=1&source=hp&q=steamgifts+%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%B9%D1%82&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.rgc.rpw.&fp=52a48128af152d5f&biw=1280&bih=834 - there's too much invite traders already (avg. invite cost is about 3$). Closing registration is a bad idea, banning all russian ips is much worse idea than previuos and also give you nothing (they will start to use proxies). An entries limit in each game will result in ~80% russians if trading invites still goes that way. I think, the most effective measure will be inreasing summary games value requirement. And maybe implementing entries limitation by country (max 30% of all entries by one counry, for example).
p.s. sorry for my english)

I'm Russian, inb4 torches and rocks. I am not a bad guy, I don't spam and steal, hell, I don't even win. There's a huge wave of us who are going to get to Steamgifts, because they think: "FREE GAMES FUCK I'LL FORGET MY BALALAIKA, MATRESHKA AND BEAR AND HUNT FROR INVITES". I believe someone told about that site in VK or through "word of mouth". Personally, I've got my invite from friend, I am not a part of that "community". I agree that there're many scammers, but they fail.

see by yourself, Russian are badly in any video games , in any movies they are bad . Communism is badly perceived since the 50s , we have the idea from the bad rough russian who drink vodka all the day. But my opignion is the majority of them are bad but a little percent of them are nice ( see cs.rin.ru). Напиток водка!

First off, I'm not trying to be racist.
I've seen an increasing number of suspiscious RUSSIAN users trying to get invites from the chatroom, please be cautious who you invite.
