To protect ourselves and the goodwill of this thread, I propose that

 

a ) No one posts keys out in the open, rather announce it here and then use the PM method to distribute. Even if this seems a hassle, posting open keys only invites leeches.

b ) People who register here purely to absorb free games, spare yourself the effort. This requires some tenacity from our part: even if no one of the regulars wants your keys, don't distribute them to random people. A one-time act of kindness will spoil the whole operation and flood the system.

Agreed. I'd rather hold onto a key or gift copy indefinitely until a regular turns up that wants it than give either to a leecher. If nobody wants your key and you're tired of dealing with it, there are any number of websites out there specifically meant for giving away Steam keys or trading. Let's leave this thread to sharing between friends (loosely termed), rather than giving stuff to random strangers who pollute these forums.

Agreed.

 

So, miffy, you still got that copy of Saint's Row 3 from twenty pages ago?

I've got a Steam giftable copy of Don't Starve if any of the regulars want it (completely agree with the new rules).

 

Edit: So I'm getting hit with PMs as well from leechers.  This will blow if they kill this thread.

This looks suspiciously like troll behavior.

 

7 PMs in 10 minutes from this leecher.

Banned the offending user. Let me know if you see other users popping up causing trouble.

If anyone's getting PMs from users who aren't posting, please PM me the usernames so I can block them (and maybe see if they come from a common IP block)

Whoops, If this is my fault for posting clickable links I apologise (for being lazy). Seems a little coincidental.

Sorry I'm all out of coal, can't make any torches right now.

Not interested in the game at all, but how is it? (Understand this isn't the thread for such discussion. was just lurking when I saw you brought it up)

Haven't played it yet!  I'm neck deep in an Xcom campaign.  I did gift it to a regular Thumb, and I am not kidding, who was playing Far Cry 2 when I accepted his friend request.  Because that's what Thumbs do.

It's very robust and there's a lot of interesting things to do and craft and become self-sufficient, but my ultimate frustration with it was that it involved a whole lot of clicking things and inventory management and that sort of stuff, especially when you're starting a new game and getting set up. If you don't mind that, it's quite good.
