Who's to say that those who are there aren't actually there for the stream? Of course you'll have those who only care about the raffle but saying that the majority of users are only there for that is questionable.

everytime after the give away there is a massive drop, so thats just how it is...

its just a lot more trouble for people to have to be in both irc and on twitch at the same time.

in any case i think the entire enterprise is a little bit questionable, basically the only reason people are watching is to get the unusual, so its wasting a ton of peoples time for not a very good reason, buying views with a raffle. it would be better if the people watching wanted to be there, and weren't "paid" to be there....

yea the problem is that rep has zero meaning.
people who are rude or even scammers leave the rep they do get from successful transactions on their profile, the rest get deleted. one guy can add a dozen people, trade one guy, get rep, ignore the rest and waste their time and still have a +rep. people buy rep with rep, its about the most pointless thing in tf2 trading. people need to stop this dance. only scammers use rep as a convincer about their reputation, because no one else in their right mind would give any credence to rep, so rep is only good as window dressing for scammers to better scam marks once you tink about it.

every serial killer would have pages of +rep if real life worked this way. buy a burger from mcdonalds and actually pay for it? +rep! omg what a fast trader! honest and kind too!

give me a break huh...

if your post is that confusing, your "stores" might be confusing to people as well..

you can always remove a gifted "ugly" name issue by turning it into a joke by gifting it to yourself from an idle account. I've seen say an el jefe gifted by che guevara for instance, yes it will cost you about a key ...but it can be done.

gifted text is right on the icon description popup of a trade. its his fault for not checking. refunds...generally its good to have a policy against them to stop people from wasting your time with indecision/test driving items/buyers regret/shopping around for a better price type nonsense. you aren't a store with a budget for handling returns after all.
