~Daily Giveaway Guide~ by thesn0wm4n How the Giveaway Works- The daily giveaway works the same way as it did in the other forum, only a php script is run and a winner is selected. In this forum, there is a special section in the mod control panel thats lets a mod press a button and the giveaway is run. The winner is displayed on the top of the main page like this: Also, any user can run a giveaway by accessing the last tab in your User Control Panel once given permission. To obtain permission, simply ask any mod/admin! All you have to do is type in the item you are donating to the giveaway and its approximate value then press submit. A new topic will automatically be made in the giveaway forum, and the winner will be displayed on index.php. Hopefully this new addition will help the giveaway become much more active, since it is so much easier to run a giveaway. Note that for value, you should type "20,000" rather than "20,000 NP" or "20k" or "20000 Neopoints" Please make sure that the current Daily Giveaway contest has not been drawn yet. This can be seen on the index page, at the top: Daily Giveaway Winner - [Not Yet Drawn]
I think it would be a good idea if one giveaway has already happened that day, then no-one else can draw one. Saves multiple giveaways on the same day.
true, but people would have to be pretty desperate to giveaway their stuff to run multiple giveaways in a day we were struggling with 1 a week on the old forum lol
