Sure, why not?

But the fact you are asking means you don't have the skill to do so.

Everything is Possible, But whats the point of this ? Having bots that enter giveaways and don't even say thanks.

Well, to be honest you could program it to say thanks if that was the issue.

Who really makes a giveaway and reads every single thank you message?

I always prefer it when someone who took 5 seconds to show some gratitude wins over someone who didn't bother.

I don't. I hate the spam of thanks. If they aren't going to say something interesting I'd rather they say nothing at all.

I'm with Damien on this. Interesting comments are what I'm looking for. Shows they actually cared more than someone that posts Thanks everywhere they go.

I only say thanks when

  • No one else has posted yet (because every giveaway deserves some comment)
  • Its a tiny private giveaway, where all entries should post in my opinion
  • I've won the damn game, and I can then sow how thankful I am

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh right.

So what you're saying is that posting thanks is worse than not posting anything at all? It all makes perfect sense now....

Some people like to express their appreciation for the opportunity to win something. Don't you dare argue against that.

Yes, that's what I think too. Now, can we please, PLEASE stop starting a "To Thanks or Not to Thanks" argument in every single thread possible? It happens all the damn time and no one ever changes their mind, so do your thing and let us do ours and let's at least TRY to live in harmony.

I've said what I needed to say. It just irritates me so much when people try to justify being lazy. I'll be quiet now.

Or they use a bot to do it for them.

I'm not saying some aren't truly thankful for the chance, but I still see a wall of it as nothing more than people who only want to keep their post count up.

I just tend to have negative opinions on people I don't know.

Oh, and I should also mention, I'm not against commenting myself, just that I don't feel posting another Thanks is one I should do. If I post, its more likely to chat about the series, or a comment on what another user has said.

Don't think so, it'd be hard to say if someone is using it or not though.

If it was stuck to only being able to enter giveaways the user could enter normally, Support might not care too much.

If it was able to enter privates and other stuff, I'd reckon on trouble.

The moderators/support would find a way to detect it if someone were to make one.

To OP: What's the point? So that you can leech more lazily than other leechers? Are you the same kind of person that bots for resources in a game?

They wouldn't find out. There's no way of doing so. You can't tell if the user entered by using a bot or if he legitimatelly entered.

That's about as low as you can go. Entering giveaways without even spending time on the site would be........

the ultimate leech.

Seriously, fuck you.
