gogtrial34987: Given how many prime keys there are in the regular giveaway, and how swiftly most of those get requested when they move to the daggered section, with quite a few people asking for multiple keys in a row: Might it make sense to institute a "1 per day" limit for daggered requests? (Either all, or just prime giveaway keys.)

(Please let's not have any judgmental comments about behavior which is fine by the current rules for daggered keys. Instead, let's discuss if this proposal would actually be beneficial to the goal of spreading the joy of receiving free games to as many people as possible.) :)
The number of Prime keys is quite high and seems to be increasing, so it's a matter of how well the moment when they become daggered is chosen, according to the number of keys left, the time till expiry and expected desirability, but if they're moved there when they're about to expire, you'd want them to be requested quickly, by whoever, so they won't go to waste.

I agree that rules should never cause keys to expire when there's people who'd want to claim them, but I don't think there's much risk of that with my proposal. What I've seen BenKii do so far is to move them to daggered something like 2-5 weeks before they're set to expire (depending on interest shown? or probably just his own available time), and then if needed, mark them "no activity required" when there's less than a week left.

Reconstructing it for the last batch: on 1 nov the following keys were moved to daggered: 15 thronebreaker (exp: 11 nov), 2 lego hobbit (expiry: 22 nov), 11 greedfall and ~20 tomb raider: legend (exp: 6 dec). Of that batch, all keys except for tomb: raider legend were gone swiftly, and had people requesting them when they were already gone (so there definitely was more interest than availability), while a few early birds requested multiple of these keys.

I'll think about it but I'm kinda with AlexTerranova on this one. Currently people have to make 1 post per request which already makes them have to wait 10 minutes (or someone else post after them) before posting another request leaving the door open for other potential requesters. Since the codes first go up as Standard for awhile, anyone that was interested in them would be waiting on the first of the month ready to request them when they go Daggered.
