Suggestion: Auto game removal if game is purchased after we enter a GA

Closed

ISSUE
Many times we enter a GA that is super long, and we pretty much forget about that GA, in the meantime, we are going to bundle sites each day and there is a possibility that we will buy a bundle that has the very same game in it that we entered the GA for hours or days earlier. Keeping track of things in this scenario can be difficult.

SUGGESTION
Once we sync, if the system recognizes that we are entered in an active GA for the same game, that it removes us from that GA. This would cut down on many rerolls and in general make the site run much more smoothly.

I'm almost 105% sure it is implemented already.

It's not. You have to manually remove the entries.

But if I win a game, and then sync I can't remove it because it says "Exist in account", so I thought the entry is invalid. My bad then.

If you get the game that you have entered giveaway for and sync you won't be able to enter giveaways for that game anymore. However you will still have entry in the giveaways for that game you entered before getting that game and syncing and will have to manually leave them.

That has been suggested many times. Number 1 reason against this are free weekends.

suggestion 1
we should check what we entered every time we buy stuff

suggestion 2
we shouldn't use autojoin scripts that enter everything

This is what I used to do but it gets tedious when you join 50+ give-aways for the same title and then win one. It's not uncommon with bundled titles, I think. Personally I don't care much because it's one line of JavaScript to click all visible "Remove" anchors, just saying its sometimes a lot of clicking that one button could solve (go to "Entered", find the game, click a button to "Remove all").

Sure you guys all bring up valid points, we can manually do this, absolutely, but if it is possible from a coding perspective, it would be a value added functionality to the site that I am sure folks would appreciate.

Not sure how an autojoin script relates or even how to implement it, I have entered all my GA's manually since the day I joined.

Find out how to run JavaScript in your browser. In Firefox:

  1. press shift + F4
  2. paste in: 
    $('span:contains("Remove")').click()
  3. press ctrl + r

It will remove all visible entries.
