If you ask me, better focus on what REALLY needs changing.. And that isn't an email notification.. So tell me with what you are having problems with. Apart from cheaters
this is a conversation!
Аutomatic posting of positive reviews is the first problem. there is no active moderation, there are no user checks. so you take a link in Steam for an asset flip with a sky-high price, make several dozen draws and just wait. More than half will end automatically, no one will check them and you will automatically get a bunch of points and even level up several times.
The second problem is that (not very clearly) but on the site keys that are not for Steam are NOT allowed. When creating giveaways, it is written specifically that you need a Steam link and a key for Steam, but this is not formally written in the rules. And people abuse it en masse. Right here on the forum there are a bunch of idiots who receive negative feedback and then go around writing nasty things in private messages, repeating as a mantra "in the description I indicated that this is a key for GOG / some crap for mobile games from lootboy". So, on the one hand, you can't do that, and on the other hand, everyone doesn't care about it. It shouldn't be like that. If no one has any business for this and admins do not want to moderate the section, then it is necessary to at least make it allowed? I see it very simply - to allow when creating a giveaway to select a store icon - and for it to be visible on the raffle card on the main page, without the need to open it separately. This would not only solve the problem, it would give the site a bit of an advantage, especially if combined with live active moderation of the section.
Moderation, again, is also a problem. everyone knows perfectly well how slow it is and how inefficient it is. Plus reports don't work, bans basically don't work either, we've all seen people with a banned mark more than once create or win something.
In addition to specially created wrong giveaways, this can also be done by accident. And how can it be fixed later? No way, you can't delete it. You can contact the administration, but let's be honest, you have to wait a few days for an answer there, and this is even in matters of problems with purchases in the store, what to say about the request to remove the raffle?
Something must be done about it. As for me, for last two points I see the option of to make a separate branch in discord for specially trained people who would respond to these questions, bypassing questions that can only be solved by the administration. (
Yep, they have to be extra tough about "i won a key in the challenge but it doesn't work" issues.)
Something else i forgot that was bad about the giveaways. Eh :/
What is needed with trades is better to see.
If the site needs these sections, if they attract an audience, they need to stop turning a blind eye to them, and if not, then unfortunately they are already turning into garbage :/
And again, the rules: something is not written there, something is outdated. They need to be reviewed.
