I like this idea. Having the number of entries per giveaway could be a useful to see whether or not they're real. It doesn't fully prevent abuse, nor is every low-entry giveaway a fake one, but it can at least give an indication.
That and I can't really think of any way such a feature could be misused.

Maybe only when the private giveaway is finished. You know, when making puzzles and quizes, puzzle maker sometimes prefer not to reveal the prize.

Seems like a reasonable request, maybe they can do it sometime in the future.

In the future we will be dealing with fake giveaways cheating users automatically. Bundle games will be handled as well. Nothing to worry about other than that.
I think private giveaways are private for reason and no one should know what you have created, no matter what was the matter. Abusers will be punished anyway, so I see no problems to keep further privacy.

Private giveaways are so that only people you choose can enter. They aren't private so you can hide what you've given away, like it's something to be ashamed of. I just created a private giveaway for Soulstorm, and I would like for people to be able to see that I did so in the future, and not think that it was just some giveaway with one entry so I could enter contributor giveaways.

I agree. Even if for a simple reason that doing changes to website that are not pure optimization takes time of admins (who are already swamped with work) and to be honest their time is better spent at eliminating slowdown/downtime causes (or even leisure time) before adding bells and whistles.

I support this so that Zombie can finally be banned for his fake giveaways

I already suggested with a support ticket to add an option in the "Create a giveaway" page to set the visibility state of a private giveaway when is closed. I didn't get a reasoned reply, but it was a "no".

When i create contributor giveaways, I make sure the user doesn't have illegal/fake giveaways... But I cant tell when they are all private giveaways. Can we have private giveaways show up the list of created giveaways on the user's page (after the giveaway closes or after marked received)? They don't need to be clickable. Will help the community report users abusing the system as well.
