ABOUT Balancing Act Guild

Now recruiting: Game giveaways on SG, simple rules with more gift & entry freedom

To join, first post a comment to our SG recruit thread[www.steamgifts.com] if you want to join

Status: Open to recruits, and running monthly contests!

Life can be a balancing act, so we make things simple for our members to gift & win games as they choose and they can focus on just having fun!

Joining the guild is simple:

1. Have more Sent than Won CV, or request further review (provide Steam groups where you have a positive Value Diff, etc).
2. Be Level 3 or higher on SG with recent activity and in good standing with SG/ST.
3. Post a comment to our recruit thread[www.steamgifts.com] on SteamGifts when applying to our Steam group so we can easily verify your SG info, and feel free to include a meme...or don't - You be you
4. You have 2 days after joining to create group-only no-whitelist **one time 20 Point OR two 15 Point or higher GAs that are not "No Value"**. These giveaways must end with verified winner(s), and feel free to post your GAs here to the guild forum's new member thread. - Mitigates being a CV Negative Nancy after your 1st win. No other mandatory/monthly GAs!

Our rules for staying a member are relatively simple:

1. Be excellent to each other and follow SteamGifts' rules.
2. Up to half of the guild GAs you create can include your whitelist, but do not add any other groups to your GAs for the guild.
3. Each month ends with removing 1 member with the worst negative Value Diff and/or SG members who show "Last Online" 4+ months ago. So try to keep a decent "Value Difference" in our group: Sent minus Received CV. (Check it anytime in SG using the link in this group page's sidebar). Number of Average Entries no longer matter regarding purges.
4. Be reasonable with your group GAs. (Don't post mostly GAs of no value, 1-5 points, <1 day, or level/region restrict stuff - That's what public GAs are for, lol)

Tweaks to rules may occur in the future but will be transparent, and everything is at leaders' discretion: Announced through this page, the Steam Group's announcements & Mod Log forum, and/or leaders' group GAs, etc.

Details on our Steam forum post

Guild is one year old this month

Its crazy to think it will be 1 year ago this month that the guild first showed up on SG! It has been fun gathering a group of great gifters for what started out as an experiment, and its been great to see it grow to what it has become. I hope the flexibility, reasonableness, and generosity of the group is as much of a breath of fresh air for you as it has been for me.
One of the core goals I had for this group was for there to be just enough giveaways & members for most good giveaways to get 5+ entries, and I am proud to say this has been true of good giveaways for quite a while now but is also true on average overall.

What is the future of the guild?

In the next month or so, I hope to put together a bunch of charts that show what our group giveaway trends have been like. Then with that in mind, I want to get your feedback in a poll I will make about what rules should be updated/added, which I will consider when...
I update the rules to reflect how much its grown
Let me know if you are interested in becoming an officer/mod. It would be a good way to start the guild's next year.

Stay awesome and stay well!
