Hi. I propose that a limit of one day to miminum giveaway duration be enforced on all public and whitelist/group giveaways.

Giveaways can be created with a duration of one hour. Many giveaways are created like this.

To guarantee not missing any giveaway, the users must check every hour for new giveaways. This results in compulsive behaviour, checking the site even every few minutes, every time the user has one brief moment and is unsure of being able to check the site again during the next hour.

Increasing minimum giveaway duration gives the user greater certainty about being able to check the site again, decreasing compulsive checking. Since people routines and schedules are usually organized daily, a duration of one day is the minimal duration that better adjust to most people's lifes.

This applies to public and whitelist/group giveaways, since those demand the user to actively check for updates. Invite only giveaways are announced differently, and not incurr in the compulsive checking deriving from short minimum giveaway duration.

This kind of thinking seems to be a trend lately.

It's not any website's responsibility to manage your compulsive behavior.

in the interest of people with jobs i agree with you, as we dont always have time to log.
but that would also make it easier for people with shit ratio's to earn more.

so in my greedy opinion only giveaways lvl 5 and up should be limited to at least 12 hrs

Have another 100% disagree.

Without sounding rude you've only created 4 giveaways in the past 1 year, if it was you creating the giveaways then you might have a point.

I get the feeking that people seems to be assuming I want to win more games, when it's in fact the opposite.

I want to enter the site just twice a day, check the wishlist page and follow on with my life. And I've not done it before for FOMO the wishlist games. Don't really care much about the others, apart from the dopamine high everyone gets when winning something.

I didn't imagine that existed thoughtful reasons for 1 hour GAs. I would have saved me this.

Some have given other valid points for my suggestion, but I don't feel like debating it any more.
