Sometimes I create a giveaway and then I see that I messed up the end date, or I just want to let it run a bit sooner or longer for some reason (i.e. the giveaway didn't get enough entries to give me CV yet), but then there are already entrants, so I can't just delete the giveaway and create a new one (technically I can, but it would be too much of a hassle). So it would be nice if we could edit the end date of a giveaway, within the minimum and maximum limits of 1 hour and 30 days, of course. I believe this would be really helpful.

Update: The minimum and maximum limits would be from the start date, obviously, and you would be allowed to edit only once automatically (having to go through support if you needed to edit it more times), to prevent people from editing it forever and possibly always keeping the giveaway on the front page. And you would lose a slot every time you edited the end date of a giveaway, to keep things fair (some situations could be slot-losing free).

I'd go for it if you could only edit once, and within a specific amount of time. Sometimes I make mistakes, post for am instead of pm or something.

Yes, editing only once has been brought up to the table, but I don't agree with only for a specific amount of time (maybe this could be a slot-losing free situation, but restricting it only to that wouldn't be fair).

On a similar topic, I would like to be able to edit ending AND starting dates for giveaways with 0 entries. This feature would be deactivated as soon as the giveaway got an entry, even if the user later deletes his entry. Do you see an exploit with this ? This is intended for puzzle giveaways obviously.

A way to "reserve" giveaway URLs for puzzles would indeed be nice. I don't see any problem with that, but I'm sure someone else will point an exploit for you, because I'm apparently too out of touch to see them.
