Agreed. It seems very easy to do it.

The simplest strategy is often the best one.

This. If you need a reminder, perhaps you don't really mean it when you say thanks. :P

Or perhaps you don't want to leave a generic "thanks" on every won giveaway and need some time to try to think of something at least mildly interesting to say.

I usually mark received first after activating and then immediately thank creator on the GA page. It's not something I would ever forget to do or need reminding of.

Exactly this.
Even if I said thanks before winning, I always post something to the effect of saying the key was activated and marked as received.

No matter whether or not I comment on a GA, if I win, I immediately say "thank you" right after I activate a win.
Then, after ticking received, do i move to the next win, if there's any.

Common courtesy shouldnt be "reminded"...
Just say thanks.. No harm done if you dont, and at times even if do say thanks no one cares.

I almost never win but when i do i immediately thank the giver and when i create a GA i do like it when people thank me its a small gesture of appreciation or common courtesy on the winners part but when winners don't say thank i think they maybe selfish or impolite brats...but it doesn't hurt me, thanks or not i still get my level up points. A new button would make it too easy make'em work a little is what i think.

I always thanks DIRECT after activating the won Game/Program ... no mystery ... not difficult ... not really work when i see how much the GA creator invested and given out :o).
So its for me a basic manner to shown my gratefulness.

You shouldn't need a reminder to say thank you.
If you do, you need manners, not a reminder.

Always say thanks even key/gift not given yet..

People should be aware of that not dictated to do that

Commenting when activating a gift should solve your problem. That way there is no way you can activate a gift more than once and therefore comment more than once.

Whenever I win a GA I always thank the creator and tell them the key was activated and I marked it received. It takes less than a minute.

If you need to be reminded, maybe a excel or txt with the list of GAs or go through every win each week or so... I think that's more work than immediately thanking after activating, though :)

I'd rather no one said thank you then if they said it just because they were told to.
Seriously, don't even bother if you can't be arsed to remember it yourself.

ESGST have a function to pop up a comment box when you check the "received" box, so that might help you remember!

If all from the same whitelist gifter, don't really need to thank him 9-10 times if they ended on the same time.

Just saying, your idea is a solution for a not existing problem.

Not for me, because I join only giveaway games I really want and will play, so I'll 100% not forget to say "thx" to the giver

is it too hard, when you activate a key and mark it received to open the giveaway page ?

I have bad memory and if I had a trick to remember to say thanks I do not remember anymore. Space cat? Might as well be a dog in a suit. Memory, man, it fades quick. ;_;

Basically you are asking to treat you like an ill-bred child who needs reminding to say basic things like "hello"; meanwhile just following a simple algorithm should be enough:

  1. activate a game
  2. write "thank you"
  3. check "recieved"

As I go to make the code visible, I right-click the GA and open it in another tab and thank the creator as soon as I redeem.

Post a note on the underside of the toilet lid that says Every time I win on SG say Thank you.. Your bound to see it at least 2-3 times a day. You could also customize some binatural beats with the subliminal message "I will say Thank you when I win on SG"
