If I delete will I get banned/suspended or get neg feedback?

Or he'll have -1 Received, which looks worse.

Check my account, I've got 2 deleted giveaways, know why? No? Well I'll tell you, I created a giveaway and clicked the button to create the giveaway, nothing happened, I waited, still nothing so I clicked it again and once again nothing happened, again I waited and again nothing happened so I clicked it again and it created the giveaway. So I clicked the button 3 times and it created 3 giveaways when I only wanted to create 1. Was it a problem with the site? Was it my browser? Was it my internet connection? Who knows? What matters is the guy who won my giveaway got his game and people still enter my giveaways so having 2 deleted giveaways on my account hasn't had any negative effect that I can see.

Delete it, and then make a support ticket asking them nicely to remove it completely.

We don't really do that very often. In the future, there may be an option to hide deleted giveaways, but for now they remain.

It would be better to prevent users from creating multiple giveaways using the same submitted form, this simple check can prevent these sorts of accidents in the first place.

You can either accept having a deleted giveaway on your account (not a big deal, with the exception of the requirements for a few private groups), or you can acquire another key for Edna and Harvey's New Eyes to give away (which shouldn't be too hard). If it were me, I would choose the latter, because I don't like the notion of an unfulfilled commitment.

How is it an unfulfilled commitment? It's clearly a site or browser bug (well it was in my case at least)

It sounds like it was a bug, but it was exasperated by impatience. Since all of your clicking to create giveaways did work, once was enough. I would've waited a good long time (like a day) to see if it went through before I started hitting that button like a cocaine monkey.

But, like I said, it really doesn't matter nearly at all.
