Policy Question 

Is there anyway I can give away humble bundle games without violating no keys rule?

Thread title is my question.

Is there a way I am allowed to giveaway humble bundle games on HF without violating the no keys rule?
Hmm..can you email gifts?

Yes that is possible.

Looks like this:
Email Screenshot (Click to View)

The button takes you to a page that gives a key to redeem.

Well I guess Omniscient essentially answered your question in that case. If not, good luck finding your answer!

If you can email the gift, it should be fine. If you're just selling the "keys" that's not allowed.

What about giving away the keys for Steam games for free? Still a no?

Still a no, correct.

It was a blast being on staff. I stepped down as it's time for me to move on. I wish you all the best and if you were hit by my warnings and/or bans, it was nothing personal.

Peace out!

When redeeming the games can't you just select 'Redeem to my Steam Gifts' or something? That way you can trade the game via Steam Inventory rather than giving away an actual key. Not sure if this is allowed but it is technically not giving away a key.

Steam gifts are disallowed as well.
