People not accepting their gifts!!!

then you shouldn't be on this website!!!! 6 days is way too long and I would have given my gift to someone else long before that.

One one of my giveaways, the person took a few days to accept the gift, and then another day or two to come here and leave feedback. I don't have a problem with it as long as it isn't too long. The gifter has one week to send the gift out, the receiver should have one week from when it was sent to accept and leave feedback.

I believe it should be less for the receivers, since the giver in my eyes earns extra grace for giving.

A week? It's been 5 days and a winner has not activated or confirmed on SG.com that he received the gift. I've emailed the winners again, the ones that haven't confirmed their winning, but activated the game, and another that hasn't done anything.

I always wanted either 7 days, or 10 days. Exactly for reasons mentioned above. I'm not sure what CG put set it to for the beginning (or if there even is one..) but I know that there is the 'received/not received' toggling option, but I'm not entirely sure if it's being put to use for more than just the 'received %' rate on peoples profiles'. Back to the previous idea: thus if you don't click received after x amount of time a new winner should in theory automatically be chosen (or the giveaway can be put back up.. but this would require a little more effort from the giver side, unless it all got automated).

Of course all this would need more back features to prevent scams, 'fraud', etc.. but this is just the essential backbones of the idea.

I guess as long as winners are not complaining for not recieving their gift after weeks everything is all right.
