Discussing this further would just be me repeating myself, and if you didn't understand the first time, there is no point doing that. I will say one final thing though, none of the reports here are acted on. They are completely ignored. No GAs are removed. No accounts are banned.

It looks like something might be being done about scammers and bots. There are still a few of the 160 point games, surely it's possible to just block these games being offered and/or place a maximum point limit.

Also this :
192 points ?

The funny thing is they claim to have won it from a scammer, and yet those were never given away here. Their alt taking advantage of the free XP because feedback is broken, or maybe just someone riding on their scamtails to shift blame?

As for the 192 points, that's the maximum IG chose for non guaranteed GAs. There was even a $500k game that was 192 points. 200 is the maximum I have seen for guaranteed GAs.

While I doubt anyone is stupid enough to think people are giving away thousands of dollars worth of ingame currency, they are probably getting entries by their alts.

Maybe being this blatant about it will spur IG into action? Doubtful, but maybe.

But you certainly prefer GA section to be flood by fake GA...
It's stupidity like this.
if that user jump off a cliff will you do it too?
And this, that make me not want to waste my time repeating myself.

If you understand nothing else, then understand this, my preference would be clearly defined rules so that every one can understand them. Also proper enforcement, so people don't simply ignore them.
It doesn't mean community can't act.
You can, and will, continue to perform stupid and pointless acts. I just won't waste my time trying to correct you.

IG should set any giveaway with a retail price over the price of a top level AAA game to be worth only one point. That would fix it.
It's an interesting idea but there are bundles worth a lot that can get purged in this way, doing it for only the single games will be better.

Also, a way to report giveaways from the giveaway itself would be good.

But the best thing to do is to start completely baning the users that make fake giveaways or use those 80-160+ coins games to illegitly gain a lot of levels.

It's quite easy to spot the worst of the worst, if someone have less than 600 giveaways at level 10 you can be sure it's a scamer, and i'm on the really low side, 1000 would be more in line.

I also think that a downvoted giveaway need to DEDUCT points in place of doing nothing, and every time you reach 10 you get 1 month CUMULATIVE ban (10 -> 1, 20 ->2) and so on, at 100 or when you reach more than 25% downvote total, permaban.

Obvuoisly there need to be some support, like if an user insert a bundle worth, like, 120$ but only put up the main game cause all the rest is unlikable don't have to get a downvote, cause it's the same game with extras (happened to me).

Wait, there is a fast way to prevent problems, how about letting users add an unlimited number of entry in the blacklist?

You see someone scamming you can ban them, at least the most dedicated users here will have a way to kick the ass of those trash peoples, and when the users that make the biggest giveaways have abanned you there is much less meaning in having mutliple high-level accounts.

Unless it's related to the store, they don't even answer support tickets anymore. They care about sales but only want to put in the bare minimum of effort, and cost, for anything outside that, like the forum, GAs, and challenges. They are making changes, so maybe when everything else is fixed, they will look into it. I'm not expecting anything, but it is still a possibility.

Yes, if it was so blatant that it hurt their reputation, they'd take action. The same with the forums. If it was extreme enough, they'd definitely do something about it. For now though, they seem not to want to if they can avoid it.

Things like multiple accounts, GAs for things that don't have keys, like the 192 cost ingame currency, and a few others. Those are so blatant that it shouldn't be too difficult to spot, but it also means putting the time and money into doing that. So far they seem reluctant to do it.

And spotting multiaccount is now even simpler, at least fo the most rule breaking users, just go and llok at the 80-160 coins scams and you'll see that most of them are posted in a little time range by different accounts, most time the biggest waves are at max in 1-2 hours.

Accurately described GAs with working keys are not scams. IG chose the XP/cost and could have chosen lower if they wanted to.
most of them are posted in a little time range by different accounts
In many cases, this is because the keys are given away free, so people get them, and create GAs for them, at similar times.
