And this makes me think that if a giver tries to contact someone on Steam because they believe they gave a legit key, and gets refused repeatedly, there should be some kind of recourse for the giver. Maybe a box that a giver can check if there was false negative feedback. After all, wrongly marking negative is a kind of feedback abuse. And if someone would get marked for doing false negative feedback a lot, it would be clear they are being a troll and maybe they could get disabled at least for a while. If they still keep doing that it could be longer suspensions, until they just can't come back any more.
Though there is a blacklist now, it's pretty small (for lower level givers especially) and, more importantly, for someone doing false negative a lot it would be much more effective to ban them from entering giveaways at least for a while than relying on individual people to blacklist them one by one. Blacklist is helpful for individual givers, but just not very effective sitewide against the (hopefully few) people that just want to give negative to legit giveaways for some reason.
There's one other thing I've noticed that I don't know what a good solution would be. Language barrier.
At first I thought both the negative feedbacks I got a while ago were people just trolling. But once I found out you could mouse over the feedback to see what they said, I realized that they both said something not in english. So I'm wondering if sometimes an incorrect negative feedback comes from someone not understanding english well enough and having some kind of problem because of it.
nly the winner mail to them can change the feedback.
