I´d like to be able to create giveaways for people who haven´t given away hundreds and thousands here, so i actually reach the "poor" people who aren´t able to buy all those games.

So instead of a minimum contributor value i´d like to be able to set a maximum value. Guess that should be possible.


EDIT:

Okay, i see only one person got the idea behind this... Sad so few people can see behind the obvious.

Lemme explain bit more, maybe some more people will get what i want to say then.

Let´s take user X, he contributed about 100$ of games each month. So obviously he has enough money to be able to buy games he wants. Why should i gift something to this person? He has money, no need to gift him! And no, i am not saying gifters are bad persons, of course they aren´t!

Now let´s take user Y, he contributed a total of 240$ but over a period of, let´s say 2 years. That´s just 10$/month. So he isn´t really a rich person, just a nice one. Imho he still "deserves" to win things.

With this system (or rather addition), the aim of gifting without thoughts behind it, would get pushed again. Like it is right now, it´s a lot about "i need amount x to be able to enter better giveaways and then i won´t give away anything no more!".

Sure, maybe - or probably! - the total amount of giveaways will decrease but the spirit of giving away would get pushed again and people "in need" would have better chances. Sure, there will still be thousands of leechers out there but there will always be, unless you add a huge amount of mods watching things.

Hope this is clearer now.

Contributor giveaways were supposed to be "thank you" giveaways. Why leave out people who have contributed more than someone else? Shit just ain't logical.

Better yet, have CG create a field in our profile with our IRS value... Let«s all submit our taxes forms to cg to validate them... I'm sure he is empty handed with work this days

Although I like the idea of giveaways for "poor" people using contributor amount to determine who's poor and who's not is pretty stupid. If anything is should be max # of wins or max # of games in library. Saying "This giveaway is only for people that don't share" doesn't give any sort of guarantee you won't get a guy with 20 wins, 1000+ games in library and 200 more in his trading inventory.
