By adding rules to get the giveaway link, and only giving the link to those that meet the rules, would you be able to avoid mod support on rules? You don't have any restrictions on the giveaway itself, just the sharing of the giveaway link.

I'm not trying to be sneaky, and get around the approval rule, but I have never created a giveaway that needed mod approval due to rules. Mostly because I was unaware of their typical response time on those request, so just created a giveaway without it.

This might reduce tickets they have to respond to.

On a side note, what time frame do you typically see for rule approval? Once you get approval can it be applied to all of your private giveaways, or does it need approval each giveaway you want to put it on?

Appreciate you taking the time to read this. You can find a link to a no cv giveaway by viewing the page source and searching for chapter-one.

Can't help you with the last part but know what someone did for batman arkham city was 'you need 15 hours or x achivements in the first game' Anyone with those requirements, he invited to a group then made it a group giveaway (same basic idea just more work)

It usually doesn't take that long for me to get rule approval. I think I had to wait three days, once, but usually it's more like one day.

Good to know! Probably not worth the extra work if they approve them that quickly.

I've found that making temporary groups and inviting qualifying entrants who express interest in entering works well, since leaking isn't an issue in those cases.

You can totally do that, but if you don't get approval, the mods won't do anything if eg. you invite someone or give them the link yourself, and they later break the rule or you find out they didn't actually satisfy your conditions.

It's also a matter of how lazy you are. If you get the rule support approved, then you just need to check if the winner violates your rule. If you want to invite them into a group, you have to check every single person who posts in your thread.
