Hardly 99%, but mainly whitelist and group giveaways now since users in certain region(s) tend to cheat in events/puzzles, which made me refrain from making too many invite giveaways.

All users can join my invite only giveaways and my occasional public ones (as long as they're within the level requirements), but I can never join any region-locked giveaways which I don't find fair for me...

In every event I do, random people gets added to my whitelist which gives them a chance to join my whitelist giveaways, so the only users that stay on my whitelist are a few good friends and SG staff.

And I don't blacklist level 1-3 users (aside from a few cases), rarely level 4 since they can't join my game giveaways (Games I set for level 5+, DLC usually level 3+), and from level 5-10 there's only about 4500 users, some are inactive, most make ROW giveaways, so I can live with those stats when it comes to my occasional blacklisting.

If a user from my blacklist decides to make more ROW giveaways, then they can just message me and I'll remove them from my blacklist. (Doesn't apply to all users, but 90% of them at least xD)

Is that what's typically served in Denmark at Christmas? Interesting how different it is from what we Swedes eat. Traditionally we eat Christmas ham (Julskinka), and of course, pickled herring (because it would not be a national holiday without pickled herring).

Julskinka is not smoked. You buy it lightly salted, then you cook it in the oven, wrapped in aluminium foil at a relatively low temperature for ~3-5h (depending on size) and finally you coat it in a mix of egg, breadcrumbs and mustard and put it in the oven at a high temperature for another 15 min (that's the outer layer that you see in the picture).

Sooo since the contest's rules changed / have been made more clear, I think my entry is not valid anymore has it always been?. I took a couple of things, almost burned my place (put a candle on my bed and dog jumped on it.. -_-) and you will get to see one part of my room (its 2 levels, thank god only my bed is under the roof!). I was then kissed a little by the passion for photography and wanted to share some of the other photos I took, too.

Unfortunately it's not so christmacy as all the other wonderful entries but as I said before I can't do much more right now. Maybe I'm gonna take a photo at the christmas market just for you, maybe not .. :P

EDIT: Woops, this was supposed to be a reply to my own comment, not to yours, SquireZed. But thank you!

Don't use misleading terms, it's much worse than any "harassment". Pointing out questionable behaviour of somebody is not harassment by any means. You just trying to convince yourself that Melly side is the right, light side. But it's not the truth, it's a question you should ask yourself and think about it much more than you did.

You leaked it

Puzzle couldn't be leaked, you could read why if that thread is still alive.

You got upset about for dubious reasons. Now you're harrassing her

Could you please stop talking and point out things that are harassment? There were some people in the first thread (one, actually) who were banned for insulting and that's it. Everyone else from OUR small community just wanted to tell the truth, but that thread turned into nonsense, people from YOUR community started 'attacking' all the russian people who were resenting about Melly's obviously shady actions. This ended up accusations in 'attacking' and insulting Melly, anti-russian statements and appeals, and in the end RUSSIANS became the guilty and Melly and her suck-ups started blacklisting every russian they see. And then you say we harass her? Who deserves punishment and ban, huh? Anyway, we post in Mellythreads from time to time, but in more sarcastic manner, we are ALREADY blacklisted, we couldn't do anything except giggling about this idiotic situation and trying to prove obvious things for some people, who aren't that blind yet. There is your mistake. If we wanted to harass somebody (and we are not) we'd do it in some places where we don't risk anything.

Aaah, now we're getting there. So, it has been a treasure hunt. These links weren't just plain posted on the profile's front page, but they were hidden all over the profile. The puzzle's task was to find those links.
To use your analogy: she dropped notes all over different walls in her house.
Now one of "you" snooped through the house, did the dirty work, and posted the links he/she found to all the rest of "you". That, my friend, is called leaking.

You are conveniently ignoring my reply to you in the previous thread.

Regardless or not if the links were easy to find, sharing private giveaway links without giveaway creator permission, known as leaking giveaways, is entirely a bannable offense and gives the creator the right to delete the leaked giveaways.

You are not allowed to repost private giveaway links unless given explicit permission to do so by the giveaway creator.

OK, let's try this: private - intended for or restricted to the use of a particular person, group, or class, In case of links in public steam profile these "private links" intended and restricted for all Steam users, don't you think? On the contrary links showing after solving a puzzle on the site you should know well are intended or restricted only to the group of people, who solved the puzzle. It's a case of possible leaking, links posted in the public steam profile could not be leaked because THEY ARE ALREADY available for every steam user. You couldn't even call them hidden because they are not found in the process of searching, because opening of a screenshot and looking at one place where the link is couldn't be called searching by any means.
You may not answer to me anymore because I said it all, if you are not agreed - you are not, sorry for telling obvious things to a wall.

Private link should be exclusive to enter to people who received it or seen it wherever it was posted - how hard is it to understand?

  • Private link posted on forum is intended to be used only by ppl who visited the forum thread.
  • Private link hidden in source code is intended to be used only by people who found it hidden in source code.
  • Private link posted on group chat is intended to be used only by people who were present on this chat.
  • Private link hidden in screenshot description is supposed to be used only by people who seen it on this screenshot.
  • Private link hidden at the end of the puzzle is supposed to be used only by people who solved the puzzle.
  • Private link hidden behind SGTools rule-checker is supposed to be used only by people who meet the criteria using SGTools checker.
  • And so on and on.

The only person who has the right to share private link wherever he/she feels like is the GA creator. It's up to him/her how he/she decides to share it, not up to you to subjectively decide what should not be leaked and what should because GA creator deserved it.

You could make a private link posted in the screenshot description only if your screenshot is private too, you couldn't do private things on public basis. All the other cases are irrelevant.

Private link is a link linking to any private GA. The fact that there are XX million of users on Steam doesn't mean that XX million of them will visit particular screenshot and see the link.

By your definition any link that is shown anywhere listed above by me should be free to leak - because 2 ppl soilved my puzzle so 2 ppl saw my link so it's not private anymore! The screenshot was seen by let's say 10 ppl - so 10 ppl are supposed to be free to enter GA. Not starting sharing the link elsewhere for ppl who didn't find the screenie could join.

and from FAQ:

  • Invite Only - These giveaways are not publicly listed on the site, but rather remain hidden. Only users that know the URL of the giveaway will be able to enter for a chance to win
  • Respect the privacy of invite only giveaways, and if you're invited to a private giveaway, do not share the link with other users unless given permission by the giveaway creator.

What don't you understand? Heck - I can post a link to private GA without hiding it or anything right here: http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/knQfO/labyronia-rpg-2 - you're still not allowed to share it by yourself. The fact that you cannot comes directly from the rules. The fact that you cannot is toild to you directly by support member. The fact that you cannot is a fucking common sense. Yet you still tell that you can? -.-

If you or anyone else posts a private giveaway link without permission from the creator, whether or not it is from a puzzle, we will suspend the perpetrator. Willful continuance will result in permanent suspension. This is not up for debate.

check again :( http://2ch.hk/gabe/res/268063.html (ctrl+f sgtools) - kiddos got butthurt they need OMG crazy ratio of 0.75 (and ony on SG, I was not even checking RealCV) so they asked for leaked GA and someone posted them links so they can enter train directly even if they don't meet SGTools criteria.

I am done with public stuff on SG except for high CV public GAs as well. Enough is enough.

As I already said to Mullins, I think these people should be banned from SG. They are hurtful to the community.

This is like copy protection, man, the more restrictions you make the the higher chance somebody break them and meake something available for everybody. Pity for you, but that's how it works.

Well.. you have a problem with Melly.. then just leave her alone.. she don't like u .. and you don't like her.. Leave it at that.. But now your group are organizing to send Fake report and intruding in her topic when she try to do nice thing to the rest of community.

Leaking GA is a crime in Steamgifts. and some GA are protected for a reason.. You break law in RL u get arrested. You break law here in Steamgifts.. you get banned... simple as that..

I am no Hitler here cause I don't have power to do any action except report a crime. You and your group being the criminal here will get what you deserve.

Its censored. Also, not really a problem here. We are all (supposedly) mature adults here, given the accounts we must have to use the site.

And anyway, someone claiming that there is a problem with a creator of giveaways rather than the people cheating to enter them deserves harsh language.

You're 15 y/o and you already have no problem with breaking the rules and cheating whenever you don't like that you cannot get something. Well - your parents suck at parenting.

hmm, they not only suck at parenting but didn't even teach you to read? Maybe next time before jumping into an argument you learn what the argument is about in the first place? ;p

It has been mentioned several times in this discussion what rules is particular group breaking - leaking private GAs, leaking puzzle info. Sabotaging other users event. Plus few more on their image board.

15 and you are complaining about swearing...

My nephews swear and they are half your age.

Regardless, my post was censored, so would be accepted on even child friendly sites, and the post of the user I responded to certainly doesn't deserve anything less scathing. Although given you compared another user to Hitler for saying they reported the instigating user for harassment, you have much more problems than your sensitive ears. Like perhaps your ####ing personality.

Yes, I'm treating you with all the respect you deserve. Sucks, doesn't it?

And that makes it right? I did not have the full picture up until your post, so I've not blacklisted anyone over the whole ordeal, but well, you basically admitting to leaking giveaways in your private group earned you a spot on it.

ohh sure - then I honestly wish that one day you will get your great treatment yourself - some drunk guy comes to you on the street and ask you for money. You refuse him, because he's drunk and will use it to buy more vodka so you 'restrict' him from your money because he didn't fit your 'criteria'. And then he punches you righ in the face, break your nose, and steal your money. I'm sure you wiill be happy then, becase you know that this is "how it works" and that you "deserved" it because you didn't want to give him what he wanted :>
