How to be a contributor thread

I like how you posted ways to break the rules.

Illegal contributors are 99% of the time caught, so stop being a fucking idiot and just... go. Thanks for stating your intentions.

I like how you were reprimanding people for A) not being leechers, and B) thanking people too much.

as y wish
i allways do so

There's nothing wrong with giving away games bought on sale. Very few people's contributor levels actually indicate that they've spent that much, pretty much everyone's is inflated. The problem with giving away bundle keys is that it's a) forbidden by Steamgifts' rules, b) often forbidden by the bundle's own ToS, and c) is an exponentially cheaper way to raise contributor levels than even the best other sale. For example, before the value of the Ironclads collection was reduced due to widespread abuse, spending a single dollar on the previous IndieGala during a happy hour would amount to several hundred dollars worth of contributions. That's a little different than spending $7.50 and getting credit for $50 or whatever it is.

Buy stuff on sale, why has no one else thought of this??!!!

You sir, are a true genius.

(But really isn't that what most of us do here anyways? Buy stuff on sale..?)
