I dunno, links should be permanent, how do you access the giveaway page after the personalized link expires?
Maybe a better idea is to have a separate link shortener domain (like twitter's t.co or microsoft's aka.ms)..

I don't really see much reason to want this and it would probably cause issues.
The site keeps records of all giveaways, so you either can't ever reuse the same URL or it would have to be changed to a different URL after it expires. Changing the URL would be confusing for users and might cause issues on the site. If the URL expires and then someone else can use it, certain popular words will get used over and over, so they won't be secure for invite only giveaways because people will probably just check them or have a bot check them on a regular basis. If you post a link to your GA in a thread and then it expires, anyone who visits your thread in the future will either have a dead link or a link that will go to someone elses GA if they are now using that custom word for their GA.
It just sounds like it would be confusing and end up causing issues.

"The site keeps records of all giveaways"
only this,is enough for destroy my idea,and i think is not good for database or things size too,srry i dont know this.
" or have a bot check them on a regular basis"
this is pure horrific right too..
i not think this 2 things before... if i think not open thread,very bad 2 thing yes.

GA links are individually identifying GA. Just like say your SteamID identifies you all across the internet. Steam, SG, SteamDB, IsThereAnyDeal and any other site that uses Steam Log In knows it's "you" because your number is unique and can't be used by anyone else.
It could work if we'd have fixed list of "good links" like custom car plates and you pay for "ownership" of specific link. But it would divide users on better and worse as not everyone would be able to pay for access.

thank you for explain,i dont know about unique id sorry.

That's like standard on any website. You must have part of link that identify the web page.
Like in this discussion. /jjHb1y is unique thread identifier, it will never change.
/idea-personalized-gw-links-after-donation is part that will change when you edit the discussion title. But as discussion code is unique people will still be able to find discussion if they bookmarked it. Otherwise you'd get 404 if you'd go to website you visited year ago, and they changed typo in the title :D
Well some pages do use page title as "identifier" but it's a bad idea for the reason I mentioned above.

Fun fact: there was a https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/party/ once.

👀…There is a function that can be unlocked by making a donation to the "Community (CG)", although it is a little different from that.
However, the number of users seems to be very small, as far as I can tell from the information displayed.
The world seems to be poor, including me.💸😥🏥
🐟💰😸💳(ideal) 🥫🐈🎣🪙(reality)
I think you should use it if you can afford it, because I think you will be able to do a lot of things when you have a richer CG.🙄

I honestly only want to use this feature in Windows if it is "unavoidable".... I can understand why you would dislike this feature.🤔...

Alternatively, Firefox can override any website color scheme with your chosen system theme. So it will turn SG (and every other site) into dark mode if you use your computer in a dark theme

im in dark mode on fire fox, just doesnt work on steam gifts

There's an addon for Firefox called Stylus
https://github.com/openstyles/stylus/wiki
I must have installed it years ago but my SG is dark blue. There are plenty of options but I set it ages ago and never touched it again.
Edit: Steamgifties Blue. There's another one I could use called Steamgifties Black.
Edit 2: IIRC it was a recommendation from Mully

it works for me using the settings shown in the screenshot. Is your Windows set to systemwide dark mode?

Add extra tier to Patreon or btc or whatever donation that enable people to create personalized links for giveaways
for example
https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/SUPER/
https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/FUNNY/
https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/SONiC/
ecc.
BUT specify in rules that link will expire after 31 days max that this will NOT GRANT to the user the use of the link forever,it will be something "temporal"
and that sg has the right to delete,modify or disable the link if when it not respect rules or netiquette of internet (bad words,spam etc)
specify also in rules that this not must be name of real people,brands,websites etc. and that user is responsable if for legal problem offensive words etc. not sg. etc.
also create some sort of automatic filter that filter\not enable use of bad words (for this link feature only)
and also NOT enable people to use special characters\signs (*# or like this because i has doubts that this ccan be used for damage sg database\website working or sort of hacks bugs etc.) limit it to use only standard letters.
