I have accumulated a lot of cheap and/or junk game keys over the past year from DailyIndieGame, OtakuMaker, and Groupees. So, I am grabbing the opportunity of having seven new support members and do the dumbest thing possible on this site: I am dumping 120 of them over 3 days on level 0 (and the occasional level 1) public giveaways.
Let the auto-joiners, bots, and assorted users come then! And if you are someone who actually entered the old-fashioned way, then good luck.
As an assorted little game, guess how many attempts I will have to do at rerolls.
They are bots over here ;o!?
btw thanks!

At least ten thousand people use an autojoin script that enters everything without human interaction, but that is the public script. There is supposed to be another one originating from some Russian forum (never saw it, only saw it mentioned twice last year, so it may not even exist), and who knows how many else. On average, I usually get 100-200 of them on these public ones, or up to maybe 1000 if it is an anime game (no matter how bad).

Ouh, In my opinion every single scripts like this should be forbidden...
Thanks for info m8

The site admin once made some changes and auto-suspended everyone using autojoin, but since then it was supposed to be fixed and not spamming enter requests every few milliseconds.
There is also a browser plugin that lets you enter anything with a single click, even adding a pre-defined message at each time. The user base there is a lot larger. I have no idea how big, but before people realised to use it without the spam message option, I used to get up to half of the entries that way. Now, it is also a more acceptable percentage, but it is undeniably there.
I actually don't mind the extension itself, but many use it to literally just go through the main page and enter everything they see.

Thank you.

You know, when you spam the exact same message about 30-40 times within the course of roughly 120 seconds, it is a pretty fucking obvious sign of using auto-entry. Just telling. So you know.

Thank you, I will disable the stupid comments.

Thank you. ♥ I personally don't care if you use scripts to enter these low-level giveaways, but seeing almost a hundred new messages in minutes from 2-3 people in total is incredibly annoying. =)

Thanks for the giveaways,
A question if you would be so kind, I recently started doing giveaways and just wondering how the pro's decide on a reroll?
What's your criteria and how do you check if a winner meets that criteria?
Plus how do I spot a bot, most of my winners seem pretty legit, but I'm never sure.
To me submitting a support ticket to reroll seems like it would drag out the whole giveaway process and just be a waste of time, but I might be wrong as I've not yet rerolled a winner.
Please enlighten the unknowing :P

Use this UserScript:
https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/YP3gk/userscript-add-sgtoolsinfo-links-to-your-giveaways-winners-page
It adds a small button next to each winner that links their SGTools check. If you see them winning more than once copies of the same game of having non-activated wins within the past 5 weeks or so, submit a reroll request.
If they drag on their feet activating a won game and don't respond for a week, reroll. Unless you see that they have had non-activated games in the past year or so; if so, create a new support ticket under the Request received feedback category and ask for a forced received feedback.
In both of these cases, you need to attach screenshots of you sending the key somehow or attempting to contact them on Steam, in email, or on this site by dropping a message in one of their giveaways (if there is any).
Edit: As for bots, this is a rather obvious one:
