Indiegala Giveaway Section Problems

[GoldenChangelingRage]

@druffzilla: Sounds good on paper but knowing that ALL my non-guaranteed games only gave XP due to auto-feedback pretty much makes me feel it would be the death of non-guaranteed game giveaways.

Heck, I can't even know if the games got activated ever :/.

But he suggest that auto-feedback will be disabled for new users, meaning that new users won't be able to get auto-feedback for themselves. Since you are not a new user, this won't affect you at all.

Another problem I notice all the time is users entering for games they already own, I have one user who won 3 games of mine and simply gave them away the next day. That is almost as bad as fake giveaways because they level up without contributing anything to the system.

Somtimes when I see a game that I don't have, I'll enter all the giveaways available for that specific game, if luck would have it then I would have have multiple keys for it when that wasn't my initial purpose. For cases like these I will "always" give them to friends and "make very sure" that I give positive feedbacks if the codes worked.

Also, if I'm not mistaken, Indiegala logs all the codes that have been in a giveaway before. Thus it is impossible to win a giveaway here and use that exact same code to open a new giveaway.

While I would be in the safe now, as said, all that positive feedback *IS* from auto-feedback. So if it wasn't there it would take a LOT of non-guaranteed giveaways to actually start finally getting some XP in the first place, which most people will very likely not bother with.

Well, I can just speak for myself but I received feedback for about half of my giveaways when the auto feedback wasnt a thing yet.

Maybe guaranteed giveaways could count towards the positive feedback. And if it would be easier to leave feedback (not having to reload the page after a key has been revealed) more people would probable leave feedback. To start off, a simple message next to the revealed key, asking you to leave feedback, would probably already help.

Auto-feedback was there from the start.

The auto-check all reloaded the page so the feedback could be done straight away. It was pretty good except for not telling you if you won anything. If it returns and they add that, it should solve all those listed problems.

I'm pretty sure auto feedback wasn't there from the start. There was even a discussion about not getting feedback for trades on this forum but since I have no idea how to access post that arent in the "Latest Topics" I cannot prove it.

Auto feedback is good. If indiegala implement some checking system on steam user that won the game, either the games is already in library or not. And person who are already having the games, is unable to participate in games that he have/

Hide games that already own. I agree.

In concept I like the idea. The individual listings do check Steam already to see if you own something. The only problem is that it would have to check the entire list it intends to display before each one was opened so it knows to show it or not. That's more strain on the servers. I'd think they'd want to improve basic functioning before ading that... and the giveaways section is largely just an added expense for them that they don't get much out of.

I do not agree with yu guys. Your ticket is your ticket even if you already have game. No guess that yu will win it. My Question is that I cannot put in (Create) giveaways??? I am not banned as far as I can tell. Maybe I cannot put in a simple cheap common giveawy game- but I also tryed to put in Good games I own a key for-Not working.. Also How do users "Delete" from your won, folder- I am glad site does not auto do it, because I need the list for a time anyway. But eventually after I'm totally done with say 3 games out of 12; How do I delete just the 3- not the whole folder/section. ? I forgot to say a big TY to the site people for a great job-thte indiegala is huge and complicate- not easy, so good job..I am enjoying everything.TY

What about a temporary ban for not giving feedback.. That will make the feedback system mandatory
