Neutral website? #68

Why it is added? It just offers a list of promotional free giveaways for Steam. I tested it many times, there is nothing suspicious :confused:

Hexxium commented 5 years ago

By review, it appears to be a site linking out to various unofficial giveaway sites that look quite sketchy, some asking you to login via steam or Facebook. It may work, but its highly untrustworthy and thus I probably won't unblock it unless popular opinion is that I should. Tagging @playing232 for review when he has time. In the meantime, you can still use the site by disabling (power button) Ublock Origin when visiting it Capture

ArmynC commented 5 years ago

Yeah, but that's the ideea. It is based on some tasks to do, ex. Like a post (on Steam or Facebook). The login is required for the check.

Edit: I tested all the sites... the most bad thing is that 1-2 sites request more tasks...

This site basically is a list of user submitted Steam key giveaways hosted on other sites. Submissions must be approved by a site moderator before they get shown on the front page. Most require a certain task to be completed before a key is given, such as adding a game to your Steam wish list, subscribing to a YouTube channel, or following a Twitter page. I was able to redeem 2 keys from sites advertised here, as well as use the key exchange site gamecode.win to exchange another key I had into a different game key. https://pixeldrain.com/l/q4WFiFa8

I vote to unblock it, seeing as the submissions are screened before getting posted. I clicked though some of them and I didn't find anything malicious.

The only thing I would recommend for anyone who uses it is to revoke permissions with any site you used to log in after you've redeemed your key, since there is no reason to let them continue to have access to your data.

I'll probably unblock this domain when I'm home today (if I remember) if not, please send a reminder

SvicidalBug commented 5 years ago

I think you forgot :P

I've removed this site from the list along with my submissions in #69
