Access to Archived/Ended Giveaways

Open

I was trying to see some statistics and such for some old giveaways I did as part of the Unlucky-7 group, but since I am no longer a part of it, I cannot see the giveaway, only that I entered it.

It would be nice if group/private/whitelist giveaways were publicly accessible after the giveaway ends. To block trollers, it may require shutting discussions on the giveaway down either optionally or by force. What do you guys think?

Should ended giveaways be visible if you are not part of the group?

As noted before, all the site needs to have is an exception check that allows individuals with entries in the giveaway to retain viewing access to it [so long as they're not blacklisted by the creator].

Making the visibility fully open can mess with certain group arrangements [eg, linked invite-only giveaways would need to be watched more carefully, so forth]. Likewise, as you noted, trolls are an issue, but shutting down discussions would more often than not undermine the very point of the suggestion you're making. The above suggestion resolves that adequately, as well.

Bumping this as I am currently going through hiding "Hidden Object" games so I no longer have to view them. A fair number on the list are group only.

If I could view group giveaways that have ended, I could easily hide them.
