Giveaways not counting?

Closed
OGrady

I just happened to visit my own profile page and noticed that there's a discrepancy. It says I have opened 2 giveaways worth 24,99$ total when I have, in fact, opened 4 giveaways which have a combined worth of about 55$. Why is that? I mean, it's not the most important thing in the world, but, you know...

Yes. All my giveaways were private. Still: Two of them count, two don't.

It counts after the giveaway ends and after the winner checks "gift received".

That's not it, all giveaways were marked as received.

maybe the two missing giveaways were deleted by a moderator.

I doubt that. I can still visit them from my "Manage" tab.

Wait... two of them have only been entered by one person. Do giveaways that only one person enters in not count, maybe?

maybe? it would like like your boosting your stats buy giving a game to a fried and not actually raffling it off. I I really don't have a clue though. It see where it says you gave away 2 games but I can't see the giveaways. Maybe cuz they private? Sorry not much help, but i tried.

did you see what deathSighT mentioned above? he sounds like he might know.

That can't be true, since all four of my giveaways were private. Only two counted.

Its not okay, should work for private
As i can see you have 2giveaways with status "received". That also adds via private giveaways. So proof with screens or never happened

Even if you did not believe me you could easily deduce that after 3 giveaways that were announced in the forum at least one is missing. However, I can easily prove that sent four gifts by linking to the four giveaways:

Once again: It seems that giveaways with only one entry do not count. Does anyone know if this is correct?

Edit: Increased readability.

Yep, giveaways with one entry are not counted on profiles, helping to prevent users from faking their stats. As well, these are not included in the top contributors list on the homepage.

Thank you for the confirmation.

So... that sucks for me, then. Basically to get correct stats I need to have two friends to open a fake giveaway then? :D

Epic. Though I must admit that I was, in fact, NOT thinking this.

I fail to see how that would correct my stats. However, feel free to ban me. You would lose someone who gives more than he takes, if I may say so myself.
