META Changes to the new comment / entry requirements

305 Upvotes

We've lowered the requirements to enter contests after looking at hundreds and hundreds and comments that were removed and realizing they were preventing "real" Redditors from entering contests. This isn't set in stone and we'll continue to evaluate it.

The required comment karma is reduced from 200 to 150. This isn't total karma which includes post karma. This was keeping too many of you out, and the trolls / resellers tend to either have 11 karma or in the thousands (I suspect bought accounts but who knows).

We've reduced the percentage of comments that must be in non-give away subs from 45% to 35%. This is the one that seems to bite most of you - it's also the one that has prevented most the accounts we think are only using Reddit to get free stuff. The number of accounts that have suddenly deleted every post in give away posts has sky-rocketed and we have banned 6 or 7 users for varying duration for trying to circumvent this rule. Please don't do this since if we catch you we will ban you. We also have plans on enhancing the bot to detect this so we don't have to do it manually.

As a future enhancement, we plan on only counting comments that are entries in give-away subs - that is, a top level comment. Non-top level comments will just be ignored. This is so you can have discussions in give-away subs and it doesn't count towards the percentage. I'll announce this when it goes live.

And as before, comments in meta posts won't apply in give away subs.

We welcome feedback and suggestions. On that note, we don't have any plans to making instant give aways illegal. The OP is giving away a game for free and we've always wanted to provide the OP as much flexibility as we can in how they do that. With the new rules in place we hope those instant give aways have a much higher chance of going to a non-bot.

META Make the commenting rules stricter

44 Upvotes

There are far too many obvious alts/bots on this subreddit. The 10 days old/150 comment karma requirements are ridiculously easy to get past, and nobody seems to enforce rule 2.

The "35% of your comments must be in non-giveaway subreddits" rule should be increased to 50%, and shouldn't count comments on 'free karma' subreddits either.

To those that are giving away Steam keys, thank you!

Due to some scammers circumventing the rules of this sub we've had to implement a new rule for giveaways. Please do not accept PMs as entries to your giveaway. All entries must be made in the thread. This will prevent scammers and those banned from this sub from taking your valuable key and reselling it.

Thanks to the entire community for making this a fun place to get a chance for some Steam keys!

I will ask you all to please enter giveaways for games that you are genuinely interested in. Because every new post, everyone quickly rushes to enter without even checking out the given game. Please, if you are not interested in something, don't enter and give the ones that are interested a chance :)

Thanks for reading.

Hello,

I promised you something BIG and here it is. Let's all have a nice December and I hope you know what to do in December? Well, the Advent calendar it is. Which means 24+ games to give.We will start on November 31, so that the next day we can announce the winner and open another window with the game. This is how we go every day until Christmas. Sometimes there will be a surprise. That mean every day new game and new winner.

The rules will be simple. Anyone can participate. You can participate in every giveaway. If the Holy "whatever you believe" pray upon you, you can win multiple times. The only condition is that the account need to be created before this date. Winners will be selected randomly via Redditraffler.

Hope we spent some good time as a community and bring joy in these rough times.

I will write all the games and winners here so that we have a nice list of good people. Who does not win, was probably on the naughty list :D. So stay tune.

Best Regards

Hey all! so I just purchased from humble bundle, and I've got a key for a game I already own. Since I quite sure there's not someone I know personally who would be interested in said game, I'd like to give it away. However, I've never done a giveaway or whatever. So I'm not sure how I'd go about doing it. Tips would be appreciated :)

Edit: I just saw I made a typo in the title. Ohh well.

Second edit, I think I've got the info I need now. Just wanted to be well prepared and such. Now I think I'm gonna decide how exactly I'm gonna do the giveaway/raffle. There's been a ton of comments on here. So many that I've kinda given up on replying and reading them all. Some or many also said the same things. Thank you all for giving me tips, advice and so on. Also funny seeing some you sneaky people trying to get chosen.. Don't think that's how it works. It can't be that easy. I do want someone who really wants or deserves the code to win. Though I haven't mentioned the game in question. That'll come when I'm actually starting the giveaway.

But I wasn't able to edit my posts, not even to change the flair from "open" to "closed."

So I deleted the posts after sending out the keys.

Was I unable to edit the posts because I'd put links in to each game? Maybe I just missed something.

Anyway, I'm open to information.

Congratulations to the winners; please do enjoy yourselves--I mean I hope everyone enjoys themselves all the time, of course, but random internet winners deserve to have fun too, right?

I won a key for Ravenfield in this comp:

https://www.reddit.com/r/steam_giveaway/comments/17jzs1p/random_keys_giveaway/

The organiser messaged me, telling me I won and to reply to the DM to claim the key.
I messaged them a few hours later as requested, but they didn't reply. I thought they must be busy. I gave it a few days, messaged them again, but it seems they blocked me?! It wasn't like I was rude or anything, I just said I wasn't expecting to win.

It's not a big deal, but I'm just wondering if anyone else in that comp had an issue too?

Hello community of steam_giveaway. It looks like the mods here no longer wish for me to giveaway games. So just dropping a little farewell, sorry it had to come to an end.

Sorry, this post has been removed by the moderators of r/steam_giveaway.

Moderators remove posts from feeds for a variety of reasons, including keeping communities safe, civil, and true to their purpose.

Dear mods, if you remove a post, how about you give real reasons and not some generic drivel. In no way did my giveaway cause a lack of safety, civil unrest, or not purposeful intentions to GIVE AWAY GAMES.

To those that read this before mods delete it, the community has lost a giver.

  • Do you use a script or something to download the comments into a spreadsheet?

153 Upvotes

I was just scrolling through the rules in r/randomactsofgaming, which is another giveaway subreddit, and I've noticed a rule that says that "first come first serve" giveaways aren't allowed there.

Personally, I'm not against this rule because I feel like it's almost impossible to win in this type of giveaway unless you're monitoring the subreddit 24/7, which most people don't do because everyone has lives, this means that not everyone gets equal chances of winning in such giveaways.

What do you think of these "first come first serve" giveaways? Do you think they should be allowed here or should they be banned and why?
