I've always wondered since I first joined the site years ago, do most people enjoy getting lots of "thank you"s on public giveaways? The main drawbacks I've found have always been bots/autojoiners copypasting the same thank you comment in all the giveaways they join and the fact that on a more popular giveaway you might have 10-15-20 comments thanking you for the giveaway leading to a full inbox of "thankyou"s. While I love when people show gratitude for giveaways here (and deservedly so) I feel as though people are way less genuine in public giveaways with thousands of participants than say a small group giveaway (Again, understandable). My question is, would you rather there be more comments, less of them, have them gone entirely by commenting restriction or do you not really mind it? I personally would rather have less of it but actually don't mind that much. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Edit:

but that would also exclude other maybe helpful comments like when you made a mistake setting up the giveaway.
here is also the problem that SG doesnt have a PM system, so ppl use old GAs to communicate.

More food for thought from @AiKirika, thanks!

Edit 2: I posted a suggestion for a possible solution on the "Suggestions" sections, check it out!

More! I enjoy seeing them :)
Meh, I'm fine with it either way.
Less. So many spam messages ; _ ;
Gone! I'd rather only the winners be able to comment "thank you".

I hope to thank you with the help of god and/or with werewolves protection!
