Unclaimed gifts

I agree COMPLETELY! I've been thinking of this idea for a month now, great minds think alike :)

I like the idea of having a middle man in between reraffling. If only to make sure that the gifter isn't holding the gift back for eight days because he or she doesn't "like" the person that won.

What if the person that reveived the gift through email, then sent it to someone else by email? How can you see if the gift has been claimed or not?

I never got the gift i won.

I really like this idea, tho as stated before, needs to be tweaked to make it seamless for those shameful scammers :/

maybe give the giveaway creator a choice 8 days after the giveaway has ended:

• Gift was claimed but not marked as received.
• Gift was not claimed and I'd like to re-raffe.
• Gift was not claimed and I'd like to take it back.
  The last option would give the creator the opportunity to do something else with the gift, like claim it himself, give it to a friend, make a private giveaway instead, etc.

PS: I thought about adding another option like

• Gift was claimed by a scammer.
  but that would just give fake gifters a way to avoid punishment.

this seems kinda pointless, as if the game goes unclaimed for a week then wouldn't the gifter just create another giveaway on his/her own? without the prompt of the site? I don't get the point.

It's good idea.
