*This is just a proof of concept*
Problem:
1) Users may intentionally chose their alt or another user
2) Users may not close the giveaway by set date
Potential Solution:
'Create New Giveaway' Button
Creates a form with the following (just an example):
Title:
Item:
Value:
Contest Type: (pick 1)
- Random User
- Number Guess
Message to be sent to winner (optional):
End date:
If user chose 'Random User'
User will be able to click an 'Enter Giveaway' Button. Once the end date is here, the user who created the giveaway will be notified with the lucky user who won. If the user who created the giveaway was giving away a gift code, he would then PM the winning user the gift code. However if he set the 'Message to be sent to winner' to the gift code, the add-on would automatically send it to the winning user.
If user chose 'Number Guess'
User who created the giveaway will set a winning number, with an optional range. Then, users will be provided with a text box to type in their guess. If the number has already been guessed, they will have to pick another number. On the end date, the user with the closest number to the winning number will receive a message, etc.
If the winner of the giveaway does not click 'Accept' to the message that notifies that they won after (default) 4 days, the prize will be given to someone else.
Some may argue that the current system works fine, but this system is more automated, safe and handy.
