I created few giveaways in the past few days and now i'm getting a bit annoyed of all the messeges of the same "topic/giveaway/title" in my messege section.

For example:

  • I created giveaway for game "the bridge"
  • people are saying thanks and because of it my "messege box" is spammed by every "thank you"
  • now after 15mins i have 20+ "thank you" messeges there
    .
    .
    If i create 10 giveaways.... i will have 20 pages of thank you messeges. And if i want to search specific discusions is either go thru all the pages to find them or use search if i remember the keywords - and even then i could have multiple pages of results. I know you have four category sections on the left side but still its a bit anoying.

My suggestion is to make "remove messege button" if not that at least stack all the messeges in the same section. (1 giveaway and all messeges from it in the same messege stack)

Thanks!

Do you think they should implement "remove messege button" or not?

Did you perhaps mean some kind of toggle for "Notify me of new messages?" That way, you would only be notified if it was toggled "on."

I think it has to do with trading replies and normal comments in the discussions being flooded once you do a giveaway which honestly get's quite annoying if you run multiple GA's at once + have some trades going and participate in a discussion on the forum.

Oh and congrats, glad to see you as a mod all these years of being informative and polite finally paid of!

Yeah, I just put up 25 giveaways at once. Welcome to the Land of "99+ messages"....

I like thank you comments on open giveaways, but I like reading them at my leisure. I dislike notifications in general, even on Steam, and it feels like I'm sort of compelled to read them or like it's some sort of chore. Lol, I may be alone there, but that's just me and a silly quirk of mine. :p

Had 40 giveaways end within about an hour of each other last night and for the last 2 days was hit with tons of notificatins. I found out at one point that the count only goes as high as 99, as it shows 99+ when you get more.

With the new key delivery system, I think it's important that a winner be able to contact me if there was a problem with a key I sent out so I do find it useful then, and I'm happy to receive "thank yous" from winners as well. What would be ideal for me would be the ability to turn notifications off on giveaways, with them automatically coming back on when the giveaway is over. I don't know if that's even possible. If it was manual on/off then I'd just leave them on in case I forgot.

Edit: 3 options with checkboxes saying:

"Receive notifications of comments on:

All giveaways
Open giveaways
Closed giveaways"

That would be my ideal, and I'd click the third one of course. Leave them all unchecked if you wanted none at all.

Filtering and various toggling options are always welcome.
