SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom

Hi, first of all, thanks for the giveaway.

I've noticed you haven't set a level restriction on your giveaways, may i suggest, that you do so in your future ones?
The reason is simple, there are a lot of bad accounts on this site, like autojoiners, multis, bots, win resellers and other rule breakers or just leechers, who doesn't contribute to the site at all, and most of them are found on level 0.
I even suggest to set a higher level than 1, because it will cost like 10 Cent to reach that level, even level 3 is pretty cheap to reach and will cost like 10 to 20 bucks, also being poor isn't an excuse for me, because i live below the poverty line of my country and even i managed to get to level 5 in few months.
Another advantage of setting the bar higher is, that you won't get bothered by all the annoying thank you messages from autojoiners with thank you script, that's why i set my bar even higher to at least level 4 and level 3 being the real exception.
You can even go right away and delete your giveaway to set it up new with a level restriction, if you wish to do so, deletion of running giveaways are accepted instantly.

I'm a person, who checks his winners, about ratio and also rule breaks and if you like to do so:
http://www.sgtools.info/activation
http://www.sgtools.info/multiple-wins

If you see red marks there, you can request a reroll for a new winner, just put the link into your support ticket

If you want to know how many users are on each level:
https://www.steamgifts.com/stats/community/users
with 970k users on level 0 85% of the accounts on the site haven't contributed with a giveaway and just there for leeching, another reason for setting up a level restriction.

If you got more questions, feel free to ask.

Have a nice day

If I remember correctly, you were dealing with PEOPLE who were NOT AGREE WITH YOUR POINT of view, not with some "level zeros", so shut your dirty mouth and quit your bs, arshole.

Insults are always a dumb idea and never bring something positive.

I see that Prosac is once again trying to gatekeep a giveaway for a game that they want.. Alas, let's go by points.

They always post this exact copy-paste message on games that they want. They don't worry about any other games. This isn't about fairness to them, it's about reducing the competition. Honestly, complaining about copy-paste messages when you do the same but instead of a thank you, a demonstration of gratitude, you try to trick someone into thinking that they are doing something good for everyone when they are in fact benefiting only you? That's pretty disgusting and low...
Feel free to check my own profile. At contributor level of $20 I am still at level 1. There isn't a single smudge on my account that could withold me, as you can see all the winners of my giveaways have recieved their prize and confirmed. Prosac is obviously lying about the amount of contribution needed for each level. Reaching level 2 takes $25. Reaching level 3 takes $50, 4 $100 and finally 5 $250. You can check this information for yourself here. This thread was made by the same person that compiles the data here so even Prosac can't say that it's not accurate because that would be saying that their own sources are innacurate.
Prosac forgets to mention that they live below the poverty line of Bayern, Germany (If you are wondering where I got this information from, it is public in their Steam profile. I've screenshotted it so that Prosac can not attempt to spread some childish lie about being doxxed, I don't trust someone that has already lied so many times). I don't need to say any more. Compare what Prosac considers "poverty" with what a Bazilian, Spanish or Portuguese user would consider poverty for instance. SteamGifts is a global website formed by thousands of users from all countries. The lowest of the low and the highest of the high contribute towards giveaways. It's downright disrespectful to compare what someone from a 1st world country considers "poverty" with what users from2nd and 3rd world countries do. Honestly how sleazy can you get? Nevermind all the younger users that come here hoping to get just something, anything at all to play. Prosac's attitude makes my skin crawl.

(A side note: Prosac hasn't given a single triple A game but always leaves this exact message specifically in triple A titles.)

The only good advice to take from Prosac is to use these to check your winners:

http://www.sgtools.info/activation
http://www.sgtools.info/multiple-wins

If you would like to restrict your giveaways in some manner consider instead of gatekeeping people based on their incomes and Prosac's lies to use the white list or black list, trains, etc. The forums are full of people willing to share their tips on how to fight actual bots and not just regular people trying to win a game.

In short if you are here to give always expecting something back you don't really understand what the word "give" means. Much less when you give cheaper games to build up level as to enter giveaways for more expensive games and then gave the nerve to call other people "leeches". That's their intent. Don't be a Prosac. c:

Prosac

I see that Prosac is once again trying to gatekeep a giveaway for a game that they want

starting with wrong accusations is always a good and trustworthy entry into factchecking

1 what competition you're talking about, when i not even entered this GA, are not interested in this game and don't join overcrowded GAs at all?

Honestly, complaining about copy-paste messages when you do the same

it's not the same, when i only post in selected GAs and don't use an autojoiner with a thanks script

and then the usual defaming, when you have no arguments

2 you're wrong here again, because CV =/= $ as i already explained earlier, you can get Fanatical bundles who give 5 times the CV for your $

I don't trust someone that has already lied so many times

and some more defamation without proof convenientley sprinkled in

Prosac forgets to mention that they live below the poverty line of...

i mentioned, that i live below the poverty line of my country, don't try to fabricate something here and try to blame me for born in the country i was born in, not to mention people can be poor here too and none is my fault either

Compare what Prosac considers "poverty"

again trying to smear dirt, i considered nothing, i didn't determined the poverty line of my country
if you compare apples with pears (rich with poor countries) maybe try to compare people living below the poverty line of rich and poor countries

It's downright disrespectful to compare what someone from a 1st world country considers "poverty"

again, i considered nothing, but it helps you to smear dirt for sure and you show that you're not afraid to spice your words with it

(A side note: Prosac hasn't given a single triple A game but always leaves this exact message specifically in triple A titles.)

yep, because i think it brings the most attention to the topic to post it in highly frequented GAs
not to mention, you're conveniently attacking my giveaways this time and trying to blame me for not giving triple A games, although knowing that i live below the povery line of my country and probably couldn't afford it

If you would like to restrict your giveaways in some manner consider instead of gatekeeping people based on their incomes and Prosac's lies...

again accusations without proof, just personal attacks and defaming, when you have no real arguments

Much less when you give cheaper games to build up level as to enter giveaways for more expensive games and then gave the nerve to call other people "leeches".

you call my games cheaper games? you obviously have no clue what cheaper games, given away here, really are, not to mention you have the audacity to blame my giveaways, when you've given away 1/10 of the games i have given away, knowing, that i live below the poverty line of my country and trying to deny the worth of my giveaways. And entering giveaways doesn't win you games automatically. I wonder why so less people building up level, when El Dorado awaits you on the higher levels

to sum this up, a good example of how factchecking is done wrong, you have no substantial points and constantly smear dirt, this is more of a witch hunt, than any sort of factchecking

It's a pitty that one can't check which GAs a person has entered unless they've won honestly. This isn't the first time I've seen you done this exclusively with triple A titles and I'm sure it won't be the last. You can lie if you want but I've seen you enough times.

And I see that you've managed to basically throw everything around and out of order so let me help you get your ducks in a row again and go by points, once again:

I would love to know what you consider "overcrowded". No, really, shoot me a number.
It is the same if we use your logic.

you won't get bothered by all the annoying thank you messages

Annoying thank you messages? I'd personally be more annoyed to get a message from some elitist explaining to me how I need to level restrict my giveaways to around their level because everyone bellow it is definitely a leecher or running a script or a bot and not just another human being also deserving of a chance at winning a giveaway. Also really? Annoying manners that is just... Amazing...

You really think that $5 isn't a reasonable amount for some people. You don't even consider that there are unemployed people on this website, younger people, hell, even people that actually buy and enjoy those bundles instead of doing what you do, where you buy a considerable amount of those bundles and start rationing them to put in giveaways? Not everyone has your disposable income, as I said before your "below the poverty line" is not the same as someone else's.
Oh, you haven't lied? So, what's this?

level 3 is pretty cheap to reach and will cost like 10 to 20 bucks

Did you forget that bundle games have a reduced value towards your contributor level? Did it slip your mind? You're also assuming that everyone buys games off bundles, or that they can even buy games off bundles and that are not region restricted from these shops. You are just assuming a whole lot of things from how people in other countries buy their games, or better yet you just think that everyone has access to the exact same resources as you. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you are not that naive.

I'm going to say it again as you attempt to backpedal. Your poverty line is not everyone else's and it's irrelevant that you bring it up as an argument. If you didn't want it mentioned as a counter-argument you shouldn't have mentioned it. I'm not smearing dirt hon, you just forgot other people are human too.
Oh this, this is beautiful:

yep, because i think it brings the most attention to the topic to post it in highly frequented GAs

Oh this one is rich, pardon the expression.

Why this giveaway then? Why not:

This one?: https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/JvZJg/the-ascent
Or this one?: https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/OvpVf/486
This one?: https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/5lQ2q/water-ball
This one is really good: https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/gdkts/hogwarts-legacy

Your excuse is flawed, try another one.

you're conveniently attacking my giveaways this time and trying to blame me for not giving triple A games, although knowing that i live below the povery line of my country and probably couldn't afford it

I'm sorry should I... Should I feel sorry for you living bellow the poverty line when you showed complete disregard and even malice towards other people in your situation or worse? I'm supposed to attend your pity party when you checked out of everyone else's strugles and care only about yourself? You are honestly playing this card while you are doing this? The lack of self-awareness is... Amazing.

And with that I finalise my arguments and revart back to my original reply with proof on why you don't really give a damn about bots or scripts, there are far better ways to fight them than what you suggest the GA owners should do, you are out for yourself and no one else and I'm calling you out on it and I don't care whatever fancy buzzword you try to use to discradit me, this isn't twitter.

This isn't the first time I've seen you done this exclusively with triple A titles

i already explained it, why i do it on highly frequented GAs

I would love to know what you consider "overcrowded". No, really, shoot me a number.

roundabout 1k, sometimes more, sometimes less, also depends on the points needed to enter the GA and if i really want the game or not, but how is that relevant, we aren't discussing joining giveaways behaviour

I'd personally be more annoyed to get a message from some elitist explaining to me how I need to level restrict my giveaways to around their level because

i've spoken to enough people to know, that most people are annoyed from it, some gifters even write in their description, that they will blacklist everyone who says thank you, and threads from people, who ask, why they're getting blacklisted, confirms this too, that people blacklist people who says thank you, so probably more people are annoyed from thank you messages and i haven't been blacklisted from gifters, who i write my warning to
my only suggestion was restriction to level 1, if i would explain to them to set it at the same level as me, i would say level 5, but this isn't the case, another inaccuracy of your "facts"

because everyone bellow it is definitely a leecher or running a script or a bot

i never said this and please don't put such words into my mouth

You really think that $5 isn't a reasonable amount

where are these 5 bucks coming from? are you building a straw man now?

instead of doing what you do, where you buy a considerable amount of those bundles and start rationing them to put in giveaways?

what's your point? you're trying to defame me, because i do nothing wrong?

Not everyone has your disposable income

that's very arrogant, assuming i have disposable income, although living below the poverty line of my country

Did you forget that bundle games have a reduced value towards your contributor level?

i already considered this, but i see you're having a hard time admitting that you were wrong and rather throw just more dirt
my example was Fanatical, i know what i'm talking about, region locked keys are the exception.
If you buy at keystores, most keys are ROW, so no lock at all and you don't have to buy a bundle
i'm not assuming, i gave clear examples on what my numbers are based, i'm not lying at all, but you're trying to fabricate it

Your poverty line is not everyone else's and it's irrelevant that you bring it up as an argument.

and you diminish it, a poverty line is still a poverty line and everyone living below, will be slapped in the face by your arguments

Why this giveaway then? Why not:

the first two already have a level restriction, the other two i see as ads, where the gifters want to reach the max. numbers of people, so setting a level restriction would be counterproductive to them. Did i already mentioned i only post in selected GAs?

Should I feel sorry for you living bellow the poverty line when you showed complete disregard and even malice towards other people in your situation or worse?

you're building another straw man and making up things, idk where you read malice and disregard against people living below the poverty line or do you just use it as excuse for your own malice and disregard?

I'm supposed to attend your pity party

assumptions, trying to paint a picture of me, which isn't true aka defaming

there are far better ways to fight them than what you suggest

that is an hilatious statement, which could only be done with a lot of lacking insight
take the blacklist suggestion as example, it is limited to 1000 slots and even that isn't enough to blacklist all bad accounts at level 5+, imagine you want to blacklist all bad accounts
setting a level restriction is the easiest, fastet and most convenient solution to the problem

And I already asked you why you didn't do it on the giveaways that I linked that have far more participants than this one.

And sweetie you won 3 "overcrowded" giveaways. Won. Not counting simply entered. Try again.

Stop stirring up 💜💜💜💜, and leave it to the discussion board that you're already hijacking.

The gifter on this giveaway had no issues with the comment Prosac made, so it should have been left at that.
if you have a problem with Prosac, and any comments they made, talk to them directly instead of making a big hoo-haa out of it on someone else's giveaway.
