how about having giveaways limited not by time, but by number of entries.

say for example putting a limit of 100 entries and the system rolls inmediaty when the entries are complete.

of course, maybe also limited by time, in case someone decides to make a Children of the Nile: Alexandria giveaway and ask for 1000 entries :)

Nice idea, how are you going to implement?

That's not a bad idea actually! Only downside I could see is as you say the giveaway not ending, but a time limit would solve that.

It could also just prompt people into looking through specially for these in order to get a good chance and leaving the timed giveaways...

Nice idea. There would probably have to be minimum and maximum entries set to make it workable.

This is a brilliant idea. I think it should be implemented in SG, if possible. Th only downside is that then I would probably spend even more time stalking for new giveaways than before :)

What about a captcha for entering any giveaway?

Captcha would be nice

Captcha are sometimes not easy for humans...

I propose a user-made captcha...: in a text box, the giveaway author can write an EASY question (not a quiz, nor an enigma), that can easily be solved by human, but not by a bot (so, like captcha...). He provides the answer of his handmade captcha, and the answer of the guy who wants to enter is compared with the good answer.

Example:

captcha: 22 + twenty

answer: 42

Or What is the colo(u?)r of the henry IV white horse? --> White.

it could be, but the creator should be able to decide how many people or to use the normal way of doing it

So because they do it, it's bad? I don't see anything wrong with this suggestion.

we need a sugestion system so people can use it instead of the forum.

We have a suggestion system - look under support

But actually I think the forum is a good place to discuss ideas. If you don't like it, why bother reading or even commenting? This one is even labeled suggestion!

That thread is about how to limit the total number of giveaways any member can enter at a time. That's because it's a year old, when there was no point system.
It's totally different from what the OP suggested.
