Please ban the posting of giveaways and contests of "just join my discord for $100.00!!!!". it's totally annoying just looking how many of these are posted every day and all of them are kids looking for people in their discord...

Also you should request proof of the prize in the thread.

Thank you!

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

Those aren't allowed here. The only place contests/giveaways are allowed is in their own section which requires a form to be filled out, stating that external interaction is not allowed as a requirement.

I did see the spam you were talking about and removed it all. If it continues, I'll make sure the discord link gets blocked.

requiring proof of what, exactly? Example: Im running a contest where I offer a free product from my service as a prize. What am I supposed to prove about that? That im really gonna give it? How? The severe punishments for fake giveaways are deterrent enough for most people.

Proof that you have the account, money, GC, snipe. Obviously you cannot prove some services but you can totally prove a product.

That it creates a big hassle for anyone wanting to host a contest.
Example: I want to host a contest with a cash prize (aka paypal). I set it to end 3 weeks from now, because in 3 weeks I'll get my paycheck.
Obviously, I do not have the cash in my paypal right now. That does not mean I'm not going to pay up.

There is already a strict punishment for failing to provide the prize of a contest or giveaway (long suspension at least, if I remember right, and possibly a ban). I do not see a reason to enforce 'proof' when half the time that proof can still be manufactured and the other half its not possible to prove. Not to mention that just because you have it does not mean you'll give it.
Someone whos gonna scam with a giveaway (seems stupid but you never know) isnt gonna give a damn about proving they have the prize, since they're not planning to give it.

We already do ban these giveaways. If someone is found asking for you to join their discord for a giveaway, report it and they'll be warned.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
