Quick question, should we have private and group giveaways viewable on profiles, simply without the links to open them? Right now it seems the site offers a way for abusers to hide a little too easily, and a number of giveaway creators have questions about their winners since they're allowed to see so few details.

Regarding begging, we'll be able to act on users fairly quick with the new user reporting system, so I don't think we'll need to worry about people messaging those with private giveaways.

And for puzzles, you'll be able to confirm a user does in fact have a private giveaway setup, and you'll know the game, so you don't need to worry about solving the puzzle to find a game already in your library.

Thoughts?

Suggestion: show them (full link), after they ended.

Not the full link. Firstly because it might be some tiered puzzle/surprise. Second and most important, privacy reasons (for the legit giveaways).

Ahh, didn't think about that, I just wanted to say that there is no need to see private giveaways before they end. Even if you only show the game & how many entries. The surprise for puzzles would be lost.

I actually thought that group giveaways already appeared... lol. Of course they should show up.

For private giveaways, maybe only show them when the giveaway is over so as to not spoil the surprise if you want to keep the game a secret.

Yes to all three. Can't wait for it to be implemented

Also, it would be good idea if we could access them but not enter them

Group and Private shows up when they end, not before. But yes, display them.

Highly agree as long as we can't access the giveaway itself.

I've been thinking about this for a few days. It would be good if the private giveayaways are viewable from the profile page once they are finished

I approve.

This will surely expose all the people who abused the contribution value system and get their rightful bans.

Actually I've made this same suggestion 11 months ago:
[Suggestion] Show private giveaways on profile after they have ended

It might help to spot inappropriate behaviour, such as those seen with the recent Tryst giveaways. Some of them are hidden due to being private, that, however, doesn't make them legit. I say go for it, no harm done that I can see.

I like the idea but only after the giveaway is complete for both group and private giveaways.

Why not let us open them after the private giveaway is done? Private giveaway is supposed to be so that selected people can enter the giveaway, not hide what game and to whom they are giving away.

what, so that everyone who entered can be harassed and asked 'where did you get the entry link from'? no thanks...

Yes i agree with this, helps bring out the people hiding away and also legit giveaways deserve to be shown in profile
