Sachys: Thanks for the offer - no doubt they are all redeemed by lurkers / bots / xenatar / wakalo. This is why most people either post the game name (maybe the platform if not obvious) and ask for the first reply to then send the key via PM.
Do appreciate the gensture though! :)

...and based on that i tried one of the desura codes:
"Eryi's Action gift you are trying to accept has been sent to the member marcelobertoldidiani. "

never even heard of them!
Yeah, it was almost certainly gobbled by a bot because I had just updated the page and saw the codes probably 2 seconds after they were posted, and I had both Steam and Desura pages up ready to take a code. I started from the bottom of the list and the codes were already taken less than 10-15 seconds after it was posted I'm guessing.

Posting straight unobscured game codes nowadays is almost certainly going to just get eaten up by auto-bot software, possibly ran by people who don't even use the GOG forums. The only codes that'll be left behind is those which the bot already has registered in whatever Steam/Desura/GOG etc. account it gobbles the codes up into, ie: the most widely available game codes.

Been there for a while now. Just that some people don't care and keep rewarding the script kiddies.

Here's two ways to deter or stop bots from stealing codes all willy-nilly:

1. Coding
(Undead Legions on Desura)
9KF?*-15SDG-?*N9I-Z!5B7-I!7WI

* = E
? = Q
! = 3

2. PM'ing
Anyone want a copy of Survivor Squad for Desura? PM me :)

Remember, the only way to stop a bot is to think like a bot....wait, what?
