How Can Strangers Get On My Private Giveaway?

Closed
CrazyMv94

So I just made a private giveaway exclusive for another community and The only URL of it that's on the thread but somehow strangers who I never even heard of the community are getting inside my giveaway, by just checking their profiles of these strangers they're member percent is at 100% and most of the giveaway they made are private, even though I'm truly sure that they're not part of the community I made the giveaway for, can they be trusted?

Probably some of your community members just gave the URL to someone.

This. Check their friendlists, there might be an obvious connection to some of the actual members.

Try doing a google search for the private link. It might show up if it's been posted anywhere but in the thread.

What it most likely is though, is just lurkers, unless that forum is private, guests might be viewing it and clicking that.

Someone linked it.

How well do you trust members of that other community?

This.

Ask for a reroll if you want, because giving away the private link without your consent is forbidden.

The only way to keep it private - post giveaway code like that: QQQQQxQQQQ9QQQQ1QQQQsQQQQVQQQQ lolol.
Or reroll it till someone from your group/friends wins.

Put in the giveaway description that you have to be part of the community to join, if someone wins it but doesnt meet the qualifications you just ask support for a reroll and someone else will win it.

Man I should've thought of that, but now it's too late since it's no longer a community giveaway. :/

You should be able to edit the description in the giveaway. Edit that and then if the unwanted guests win ask for reroll.

If someone's leaking it, they get banned for a fucking long time. You weren't to know it was leaked, so the giveaway can still be for the community. Make a ticket, urgent, with a link to the giveaway and who's entered falsely. We'll try to sort things out.

Just for the future, use pastebin or translate the url into binary or base64 and such things...when someone google it he will not find it so fast...
