Moderation in Hibernation?

Both people are currently suspended so some action has been taken. Strange giveaways are still up though. 🤔

I do not think that looking at the description of 666 GA per day as precaution to eventually catch something like this pro active is worth the effort.
If you just spend 6 second per page on average you look at a timeframe close to 1 h of awefull boring clicking most of the time per day.

Seems a bit frontloaded given how rare those occurences are.

The autojoiners and users that are too lazy or too dumb to read descriptions use a bunch of points.
Sounds like a positive thing for me.

Without the Autojoiner problem i would say, yes the GAs should be deleted in one go too IF the mods can still show the gifter which problem (wrong type of GA) brought them the trouble.

Given how trivially easy it is to make a Microsoft account, I don't see how this ends up being a major problem even if the giveaways aren't deleted. They should of course be in a dedicated thread rather than posted as official giveaways, but it's not like we're dealing with malicious behavior that causes real problems for people.

One of the giveaways has been deleted 52 minutes ago. But the other is still going with 2,700 entries, which adds to the oddity of the situation.

Funny that I entered the two giveaways even after reading the descriptions. Just slipped my mind that it doesn't really work that way. I blame the plethora of other places with giveaways for different platforms. And well, my brain too 🤦‍♂️

Let the indiscriminate entrants and hordes of scripting pricks lose points on it first. It's not like they ever cared about what they win anyway.

Both giveaways have been taken down and the multiverse is in equilibrium again. I'll close this discussion.
