New group for unlucky and good people?

Closed

Summary

Apply to group here.

Group has two positions: cherries and poppers. Cherries are the target of giveaways, poppers are the ones who create them. Cherries are picked on certain criteria.

Please comment and criticize this idea. Does it have serious flaws, would you change something and is there any need for this at all?

Expanding above

My previous experiences in trying to gift certain group of people had some troubles. Mainly it was people who entered even if they did not meet the requirements. I thought for a while different approaches how to solve this. I personally do not really like the group option, but it seems to be the best one that is available.

Group would have two positions. Cherries are the people I would aim to give gifts by creating giveaways. Poppers are people who would create these giveaways. Idea is to gather people who would be deemed unlucky or nice people deserving chance of winning. Cherries are selected by meeting certain criteria that are given below. One can apply multiple times.

Cherries' main purpose in group is to achieve Golden Kick of Luck which is gained by winning. Winner will then be kicked from the group to open position for the next one. I'm still uncertain would it be better to only count wins inside group or any win in the site.

Poppers are people who would like to gift people having some of the qualities met in cherries. I would place no limit to their numbers. One could use this group as temporary filter (join for a giveaway and then leave) or hang in back and gift when you feel like it. Before a wall of leecher accusations appear, I notify that I would be placing myself as popper.

Idea is to have quite loose structure with very little forced activity to prevent needless re-rolling in every giveaway themed for these people.

Cherries

Limited number of positions in group, likely somewhere between 20-30. Enough to have wide variety of tastes but small enough to keep chances in giveaways relatively high.
Will be kicked out once have won. Can re-apply back to group.

Higher chance of entry by meeting mixture of following:

Capable of reading a text (and understanding it) that is longer than five characters.
Low number or no wins at all.
High number of giveaway entries since last win.
Being long time member so people that do not enter every giveaway they see have chance too.
Being an asset to the community (forums/chat) so new people have chance too.
Having contributed.

Lower chance of entry by meeting mixture of following:

Breaking rules.
Inappropriate behavior.
Lots of wins.

Poppers

No limit to numbers.
No mandatory giveaways. You gift (within SG's rules) what you want, when it suits you.
Cannot enter to any of the group giveaways. These people are here to gift, not to win.

This is a really nice idea. I think poppers should have some join requirements as well, though. Otherwise people might just become a popper to join giveaways meant for cherries and then more re-rolling would ensue. (asdasdf repeatedly saying poppers and cherries in a sentence makes me feel slightly dirty D:)
