An option to be excluded from the top giveaway list?

That's a great idea, not everyone wants to be labeled and exposed like this.

I agree, and if I could, I'd remove it for you.

I get like 5-7 friend requests a day with people asking me (mostly on broken english) for an invite to private groups

I could see where the hassling could easily get out of hand. :< It's a shame that some people can't respect the sponsors' generosity towards the gaming community.

I don't think it'll matter that much.
I probably wont show up on that list any time soon... and still I get annoyed by people asking for free games... :|

I intentionally slowed my gifting down the week I got my new job because the low mark to get on the list was really low at the time. I'm sure I'm not the only one that has done that.

I'd be in favour of removing it entirely, I'm not generous enough to ever appear on the list but given the sheer number of scammers and beggers going around it seems likely it's only going to serve as a hassle to gifters.

There has to be a better way to reward the very generous people then this?

I approve of this suggestion.
