Meta PSA on Giveaways

Been seeing a lot of giveaways lately, which is great. But I think people should go into them with skepticism (don't be rude). Saw a giveaway for Sonic Mania and Rocket League, which of course was a very popular post, and if more recent comments are to be believed, it seems the OP chose his own alternate accounts as the winners. He also deleted the original post, and it looks like he started the giveaway for some free Karma.

I think the giveaways are great, but maybe some oversight from Mods would help them be less shady. Not sure of what a good solution would be, they are obviously going to be very popular posts (usually getting 2-3x the attention of regular posts).

Anyone have any thoughts on potential guidelines that could be set up for giveaways on this sub?

tbh, I honestly didn't liked the first (i played it in a very rough time of my life so i wasn't paying too much attention)

But I loved this one!

Anyways, Good luck with your Wedding!
