People have been disguising it at least and engaging in fun discussion which is nice for the thread. Like those posts where people were ranking their favourite final fantasy games for example rather than "obligatory post #1".
I could see a giver wanting people to contribute something small to the thread before being allowed an entry but it serves no purpose if numbered spam posts are an accepted way to bypass.
I like the lurker spam. It shuffles the giveaways down so nobody else will enter for what I want :)

Fair point, but enforcing this as a rule would create inconsistencies with how we dealt with this thread so far and would be really unfair. Maybe for an OT2, though.

That's the spirit! ;)

Now if we could just move on from this and keep it nice and positive instead of acting like a clique, that'd be great~

I'd like to thank Fudo Myo for the Pathologic code and Ellix for Journey Down. (I LOVE point&clicks and I haven't heard about this before. Neat.)

Thank you Notaskwid for Dead Island, but I had to forward it to GiftBot, because my country likes to control what grown-ass adults are allowed to play... :-(

Sounds like something a bot would say.

The captchas only ever require me to click on the box once, I'm not getting the pictures.

Maybe Giftbot likes me 😍

I think it may be related to how many you are entering in some time window.
I think it's handled by Google's algorithm. I also only get the click but I don't know why some see the manual image-clicking.

I hate Captcha because I tried using it on my site and it doesn't ward off bots at all and I don't know why 😭

It's a mystery NSFW anime game giveaway! I won this from @CannonFodder52 (thank you!) but it seems this particular NSFW anime game was already in my library, so I'm putting it up for grabs again. In the spirit of mystery I'm not revealing what it is, so take your chances if you want!

Noooooooo the captcha is starting to ask me to identify things in blurry pictures lol. Rip.
My favorite is when you have to identify, say, red lights, and none of the pictures actually have any in them. Either that, or I'm selectively blind to things that are supposed to be noticeable and I wonder how I haven't crashed my car yet.

Okay, my time to complain: this limitation of letting only givers to participate might be well intended, but I believe that it will stimulate some people to join raffles with games they don't want just to have something to give when the opportunity arrives, or they might even put up raffles with false or even already activated keys, like "oops, my bad! I thought that It was still good". I'm not saying that people who did that actually did that with this intention; mistakes are made, people forget stuff and that's fine, but it's a possibility, you know...

Honestly, it's a giveaway thread. If you were to actually clog up the thread with meaningful, quality discussions, that would simply be spam in this context. Applying the lurker restriction in this thread ist frankly pointless.
