Increase giveaway duration after posting

Closed
BBR

If your giveaway has less than 5 entries, you won't get contributor points for it, (see faq).
Should it be possible to automatically increase the duration of the giveaway by 1 hour up to 7 days to ensure more people can enter?

If you're worried about not getting enough entries in group giveaways, you can always delete the GA and post it as public to ensure you get enough entrants. Unfortunately that is the risk you run when doing giveaways for smaller/ratio-based groups. (I have a ton of GAs for a ratio based group that have very low numbers of entrants)

I have a handful of giveaways with that same situation, but CV was never really the impetus for giving the games anyways. I was willing to give and people wanted them. I'd still rather run the risk of not getting CV for a non-bundled game because of too few entrants rather than giving it to the unwashed masses.

even a level 1 restriction can get many people entering, but the higher the level restriction, the less that can enter. for example level 0 is about 600,000 and level 1 is like 100,00. not accurate numbers but you get the idea

I don't think more time would help you. You have a group of only 20 people and you're giving away common bundle games. Another day won't get you more entries.
