Disallow multiple entries in giveaways.

[Dad]

Disallow the fact that you can enter as many times as you want.

I'm not talking about the giveaway button I'm talking about replying.

People put this in their giveaway requirements: (I still love u Choo no h8 pls )

And then this happens:

This is basically free post farming, you saw what happened with the account "ass", people like Lonely (again no h8 ) got over 200 posts from post farming.

I just think that it's unfair that kids can literally post however many times they want because its a giveaway requirement.

In my opinion, 3 should be the maximum of entries you're allowed. Maybe 5.
(By that I mean replies, I'm not talking about "Guess my name" or something like that where people just give a list of names in one reply)

if u disagree explain you baboon.

I can't decide whether it'd be a better solution to disallow multiple entries, or we should make posts in giveaways not count towards your post count.

There's a lot of people with threads saying "guess a random number between 0-200" which is just giving people the opportunity to post extremely low-quality replies and get their post count up, so I'm thinking making it not count towards post count is the best option.

Does anyone have an opinion on this? I'll unlock this boy for feedback.

We'll be making it so that posts in the giveaways forum do not count towards your post count in the future, just like forum games.

This also means that many people are going to notice their post count drop, since it will affect all previously-posted content in that forum also.

I'll move this to pending, thanks for the suggestion.

This has actually already been pending for a while now, and so since it doesn't make sense to keep two suggestions for the same thing pending I'll close this one.

The other suggestion is here: https://www.mc-market.org/threads/431756/

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
