Here's a thought. Would
this
be enough to get around bots?

EDIT: wait, I'm not thinking. Of course it wouldn't.

This topic: "People endlessly and uselessly discuss the best way to decide rules on how to give away codes"

Every single bump to this topic that is trying to refine the idea or rules down more than this kills me a little inside.

Private invite only forum. Break the rules? Three strikes... access revoked. Wouldn't show up on public searches either.

Win-win.

This tread is turning into a nightmare altogether. Everyone needs to take it easy.
The tread doesn't need to be private, that's taking hits away from the website. No way in hell will anyone do that for yas.
Let people do what they want with the keys. If they don't go through a few pages before throwing a key into a post, or give the key to someone whos just registered to get keys, they should be aloud, without others questioning them.
From my viewing of this tread, it's turned into a bitch-fest more then anything. People too interested in giving out about not getting a key.
What really amazes me is that someone setup a steamgifts.com tread a while back. You need to be invited and all rules are enforced by a mod. All the stuff you lot are asking for basically, yet all seem to focused on suggesting alternatives, which I really don't get! It's the same thing, without bots taking keys/non-registered users/lurkers/etc.
Join the steamgifts group, enter some stuff from the group, and you're in with a chance of actually winning something. No need for 100's of posts suggesting silly stuff now.

Really? I thought it was more because the likes of a post like this meant not a single user of this forum got any of the keys, they all went to bots etc.

There's nothing wrong with the actual post, & kudos to the OP for giving the games away etc. I will admit, it's a little disheartening to see the keys just being harvested & no actual boardsies getting the benefit, despite the keys being given away on our forum.

Despite all the moaning about tightening of rules, it would be nice to see a system agreed upon that sees forum users get the benefits & not bots.

So you're the bot!

I still have Origin keys for Dead Space, Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box, Crysis 2 Maximum Edition, Medal of Honor, Mirror's Edge, and Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 - Uprising. Quote the game you want and I'll PM you the key.

I think just saying you have them then asking for people to quote is the best bet with the code sent by PM. That way the games are advertised, the poster isn't pestered by people PMing looking for the code even after it's gone and it keeps the codes off the forum.
And ignore people breaking the rules for the most part. Only 1 person should point that person towards the rules and leave it at that.

It worked for me just fine, I got a Zeno Clash 2 discount voucher and Zeno Clash in my library. The counter says it has 152 days left, but I wouldn't wait around.

It would explain why there are plenty of Zeno Clash prizes floating around on Steamgifts.

Have a look at the rules.

Rules

Your account must be at least a month old and have 50 posts to request a freebie here. The onus is shared between the giver (not to give) and the requester (not to ask).

Don't bother coming back. Ever.

What works.well on reddit is that if people still want to post keys publicly then either they censor one letter in the key and have people guess it, or leave a clue as to the censored letter, ie * = 13th letter of the alphabet.
