Thanks for creating the GA.

Maybe think about a min. level requirement for your public GAs, it would be sad to feed the autojoiners with your games.

One of my members and i catched in the last weeks 45 autojoiners.
The catched ones are/were 31x level 0-1 (16 perma suspended), 14x level 2-7 (9 perma suspended).

200 autojoiner tickets are still open.

Besides that got 22 multiaccounters and regifters catched in the last few weeks.

You can check accounts/your winners with:
http://www.sgtools.info/activation
http://www.sgtools.info/multiple-wins

If someone have red marks there request a reroll and put the link(s) into the support ticket.

Infos and tests, made from other users:

https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/oEt99/vendetta-curse-of-ravens-cry (public GA, Entries: 2,038)
https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/9PxYF/vendetta-curse-of-ravens-cry (invite only GA that was posted in the description of the public one, Entries: 63)

Yes, a few low level accounts are normal users, without a doubt, and it is sad that they get hit too when someone set a min. level for his public GAs but it isn't possible to avoid it when the extreme majority of the level 0 and 1 accounts are autojoiners, multiaccounters and accounts with unactivated wins.

Have a great week

sgtools is known for false results, use it carefully. There're a lot of exceptions. for example, hardly it can check anthologies like this

I had in 5 years 3 or 4 false positive results. Not really much compared with thousands of users that i checked, that made ten thousands of GAs.

You may not be aware about other cases.

btw, GAs of "Vendetta - Curse of Raven's Cry" proofs mostly two things: 1) regular SG user do not read descriptions 2) regular SG user may not see that link in description leads to different GA

P.S. In any case, everyone plays the games they like to play. :) I just wanted to say that sgtools is not a game suited for everyone

"regular SG user" = autojoiner/bots, multiaccounter and people that use ESGST without to read descriptions and, of course, a smaller part of users that are ok but in a rush, sleepy etc. -the last not explain the extreme difference of the entries-. How much % each of them are, can each one assume for himself.
From all my hunting, for years, i assume that 20% of the active sg users are autojoiners. The dumb ones that use on top the embedded "thanks script" are only the most visible iceberg tip.

This ones don't use the thanks script but are ultra obvious (yes, i have a list of them... -of course with the profile links and not only the numbers... but such people must be protected with the calling out rule.... because they do so much good stuff to the site...- [yes i am frustrated and that is one of the reasons why i not hunt anymore and not write tickets anymore -since 2 or 3 weeks-]):
290k entries in 6 years -thats totally insane!- (lvl 1)
287k entries in 7 years -thats totally insane!- (lvl 5)
286k entries in 8 years (lvl 5)
278k entries in 9 years (lvl 8)
Compare them with my stats, because my stats are from a VERY active user, that don't use a autojoiner. So a easy indicator, each one that have 1,5x my entries in the same time is not anymore in the "human possible" range.

Regular user can enter the GA of the game he/she interested in, press green button and return to the list without paying any attention to the description. Even if description is noticeable and large. He may not be a native english reader (there're lot of us :) ). It's not a crime or disrespect.

When such a guy win the game and pay no attention to it for a few days being online on SG - yes, that's most probably bot or autojoiner.

I understand your frustration, personally, I don't like leachers but being an autojoiner is not a crime for me.

P.S. I see: you have 110k entries - very suspicious, but you passed the Turing test ;))
