Long expected change the message to explain the why a giveaway got deleted, and the giveaway delete button helps surely. Thank you.

cg: If you can, can you list all the upcoming/planned/unfinished features?

YES! You rule Cg. Now people don't have to worry when they make a mistake on their giveaway. +1

I only see one problem:
When you create a giveaway, there's a notification saying, 'Based on your current feedback score, you're able to create up to x additional gifts.' Deleted giveaways count towards this limit, so if you're able to create 5 additional gifts, and you create and delete them all, you'll be locked out. This prevents users from simply creating and removing giveaways, or trolling.
This will force these mindless people to be a leecher for the rest of their lifetime.

If a user gets his count down to 0 and has no successful giveaway, he should just be banned.

One concern is to make the "Deleting counts towards giveaway limit" wear away eventually. I'm not sure what type of protection you have against a new person coming in and creating their first giveaway wrong, followed by deleting it and having 0 giveaway attempts left. Although much less frequent than the 'accident' people that come here, I am glad this was put in. Maybe after doing a giveaway successfully it also clears out one of the deletion 'penalties'.

Thank you very much cg!! :) I also think it would be good to add as a reason: non steam key, drm free game.

This should help alot esp with all the fake giveaways i dont get why people would say they received them this if for the better for once.

Wow, that's really good job, I've never seen such big site as SG that would introduce huge updates so frequently - and the most important - good updates, based on users feedback.
We couldn't enter them, they would be like closed threads and accessible only through their URL. That's because I want to see who entered obviously fake giveaway or just comments and discussion.

I still don't believe in the "accident" one but ok.

Another update was just rolled out, allowing users to delete their own giveaways.
If you view one of your giveaways, you'll see a Delete Giveaway button where the typical Report Giveaway button is located. If you click it, you'll be forwarded to a page where you can select a reason for the deletion from a dropdown menu (See below for the list). After selecting a reason, the giveaway will be instantly removed. I know there are going to be a lot of questions, so I'll try to summarize some of the mains points.
