Shank 2 - 3CL0W-5WPQP-*XGTE

* = 1/3 of the number of the devil

ermm no - just 1 of the digits of the original number

yah but 666 divided by 3 is 222 right?
I am confused but I actually got the game so it doesn't matter LOL

LOL.

You can use the support button on SG for reporting someone, if you want to be sure that the issue is addressed.

Thanks for the game, redeemed now when I'm back home.

I've given away quite a few games to this group. I'm all for rooting out people who join giveaways just to regift, but I feel that's a bit rough after just two days since the giveaway finished.

You have to give them 7 days from the time the giveaway has ended to add the game to their account before reporting them. Mods won't do a thing until the 7 days are up.

But if you give them another chance after the 7 days are up, chances are they'll keep abusing it or hiding behind the guise of not knowing the rules. Sure, they might not know the rules but you report them once, they'll know the rules then and there and not take the chance to get perma banned if that matters to them.
You give them a break, and they may abuse the next win when that gifter may not know their past history and give them another chance and so on.

As I've said before, I had 2 winners of my giveaways here suspended. One was just for a week and the other seems to be permanent due to multiple violations. I'm glad I looked into both of their histories and just ended up reporting them eventually despite trying to work it out with them at first. The guy suspended for just a week is still in the GOG group and entering giveaways which is not sitting right with me but I don't make the rules. The other guy is probably still in the group but since he is banned from SG, he's not an issue.

You guys have to do your part to check the users account before sending the gift to make sure they don't have the game already cuz then they'll just use it in a trade or sell it. And then after 7 days, you have to check the account again to make sure the game has been activated in their account. If the person has made the account hidden from you by then, you need to tell them you'll be reporting them unless they show you the game is in their account.

There are abusers aplenty all thru SG and GOG group is no exception. This group is very open and very naive/forgiving to those who don't play nice and thats fine since thats how its been ever since I've joined and how you all seem to want it. I'm not in a position to make changes but I'd be curious to know the percentage of group members who basically got the required number of rep to join the group and then we never heard from them again in the forums. I mean it doesn't sit right somebody abused Ian for Bioshock Infinite but if that person abused another giveaway win before and wasn't reported, its not doing any favors to Ian or the rest of this community. The rules to get into the group are very lax, the rules to stay in even more so so that leaves it ripe for this kind of increasing activity.

This is just really sad. But, I decided to go check out the giveaways that I have done and they all seemed fine, with the exception of one that I couldn't check because their profile was private.

I haven't done that many giveaways (only 9) so it was easy for me to check. I guess I will be doing checks after my gifts are marked as received from here on out though and will report anyone slacking in their inventory management. =/

I can see how people with lots of giveaways will have difficulty keeping track. =/ It really should be managed by SG better, although I'm not sure how.

Yah, I can verify you need to use the SUPPORT button at the top of the SG webpage. You can use "report user" but you have to also use SUPPORT in conjunction with it. Or just use "SUPPORT" by itself and provide them links and the necessary info in your message.

Oh wow! This is a pretty vibrant community.

ive already done this...
im only warning the rest of the people in this group.

What's up?

My apologies if I was a bit harsh, but I never had anyone mark a gift as received before they actually redeemed it ( there have been several days in between in this case). Which made it look very suspicious to me. Add to that recent trouble I and other members had with their winners, I'm much less trusting nowadays. Also, I said next time I log into steamgifts, which I don't do very regulary, so it was just meant as a warning, not a "do it now or I'll report you tomorrow" kind of thing. Would have probably been less harsh if you had given me some kind of feedback ( emaill/pm/forumreply), like most people do. I had no intention of accusing a honest member and hope you understand that and I do wish you lots of fun with Fable Jonni :)

[Edit] Jonni just redeemed Fable, so my suspicion about him was unjustified. I'm very sorry about being so harsh on him!

Actually, that's all it takes, isn't it? To keep your profile private so people can't check if the game was redeemed. So, if the moderators are going to change the rules, maybe it would be necessary to make public profiles mandatory, and I don't know if that would be fine with everybody.

Well, the rest of the users don't know who you're referring to. If he's still active here, I wouldn't want my gifts to end up with him.
