Suggestion - How about the ability to limit how many people can enter some draws?

I do respect and support this idea ;)

Giveaways with 1400+ entries kinda make it difficult to win.

That would be nice.

I find this suggestion very interesting, in a good way.

Giving an option for the gifter to decide is a nice idea. Sadly the people who can implement this never state their opinions about these, so we never know if they even read it.

I approve this message for deliciousness.

You could just limit the duration of the giveaway, I don't see the point of displaying it once it's full anyway. Though in either case, you're just encouraging bots which is bad for the site.

Sounds to me like this would fall under the "Gifter-created rules" thing, to which the common answer is "make the giveaway private, problem solved." =/

I'm actually against this idea and this is my opinion as to why...

The problem with this, is that it makes giveaways even less accessible at the user level. If you think you have troubles winning now wait til you can barely load the site, and when you finally do find giveaways that you want, they're already full cause the 9,999 other people are constantly reloading the website at the speed of OH DEAR GOD WHY?! This idea would actually typically lower your chances to win a lot of the time, simply because no matter how fast you think you can load the giveaways, there are those other 10,000 people who would probably load it just as fast if not faster.

Your chances of winning get lower with the more entries, but, your chances of winning are less than 0% if you can't even enter. So you should play your chances instead of trying to snuff out competition and in so doing snuffing yourself out.

when there will be lots of people, there would be much more giveaways, so the chances to win something won't go any lower, because you will be able to enter more giveaways, while there will be more entries.
there is no real reason to limit entries.

Although it would increase one's chances of actually winning a draw, this would eliminate some users from applying if they can't quickly enter the giveaway (work hours, vacation...), that's why I would be against it. This idea would only benefit the kids which are all-day long on their computers, aren't the 1-hour long open giveaways punishment enough for working-class people?
