Regarding giveaways

[Mootrucks]

Support, giveaways are too easy to fake.

 

[JSand]

Can this be made a rule already?!?!?

 

[Superfluous]

im in favor. if you want to give money to people you like, just do it without the whole shell of a giveaway. otherwise, do it randomly

 

I support this, would clear things up a lot

Support. Dice roll would make it fair and ensure nobody cheated the outcome.

 

No support, If a person who owns the gold doesn't wanted to give it to certain person for reason I can support that, for example let say video (He only an example so don't take this serious) Is Known vader and I know this (e.g ed sheerin) and I didn't wanted to give him gold why should I and I wanted to give it to another person instead of him insisting I had valid reason of course.
(I think I read to many comment in this section and decided to change my post) I can support if I'm allowed to re-roll if I don't like person for x reason.

if you know someone is a vader you should report them and get them banned. it's not a proper giveaway if you hand-pick the winner.

I think he means he wants the ability to re-roll the giveaway if the person is a suspected/banned evader and wins or something I think(idk its hard to understand him).

Yeah bus hit nail on head, Sorry it's 4am

 

[Drimble]

its pretty obvious this should be a rule, for all we know he hit that random number generator 10 times because he didnt like who won, a dice roll prevents that.

Yeah but its him giving away HIS MONEY.

let him do it however the fuck he wants lol biased or not....

 

[RSPhreak]

I support this. Theres nothing wrong with just using the dice through sythe.

Why are you referring to someone in specific? This ruling would affect anyone who were to host a giveaway under the proposed guidelines of randomization detailed in my original post.

This ruling does 2 things:

1. Presents winner from a trusted source
2. Eliminates any type of fraud

I don't get why anyone, even hosts, would want to outsource how winners are chosen when it can easily be done here and for the reasons I gave.

Support. This will ensure randomness. I do think the donor lounge is not the right place for legit dicing/giveaways. There should be a separate section in the donor lounge or a donor-only subsection in the sandbox for this purpose. This rule should then apply to those sections only.

I'm fine with people giving away money and being biased whom they give it to, just not if OP states the winner will be "completely random."

 

Couldn't we have an mm hold the gp and then have them roll the dice through sythe? I don't think it will discourage legit give-aways as why would they have a problem with that?

Restricting it that much isn't an option. That's like saying everyone who wants to dice has to use a middleman.

 

At this point, these giveaways are all troll attempts. Just ban them from every section besides the Sandbox, that way there is no confusion on the rules.

Exceptions can be made, such as the drawings that SM has been holding in the LoL section. Or he could just officially state the giveaway in the sandbox and then create a link in the League section that directs users to the sandbox for the official rules.

Don't see how it is. People tend to have restrictions such as no 2k16 members no 5 donors. A giveaway tends to happen after 1k posts or like 2 weeks worth of posts, don't see how this is restricting give-aways, they aren't as common as dicing. It's simply eradication trolls while making people certain they will get the reward if they win.

 

[Doing]

I think this is a amazing idea even though i don't go on this forum much anymore, i see on all other forum's no one has requested or proposed this idea. I am fully in favour of implementing this as it would make it impossible to fake or cheat a giveaway!

Good luck guys!

Support! It makes perfect sense to implement a more fair and secure giveaway system. Anything to promote legitimacy in the community is okay in my books.
