It kinda seems common sense to me, but I'd love to be able to edit raffle bios. For example, I have a raffle going at the moment (here) And I have about 2000 tickets in just chaos scales. I only needed 100 and I'm not sure what to do with the rest of them. They're going to take a long time to sell if they sell at all. So I'm going to be stuck with at least 1900 chaos scales that mean absolutely nothing to me and don't let me reach my goal. Additionally, it says in the bio that I would end early at 1000 tickets and I can't do so because I have so many chaos scales and haven't met my goal with the other items. So I look like a liar.

I would love to be able to edit the bio to add "Please no more chaos scales!" so that people will stop entering them (or at least not so much). While I've been saying so in chat along with my ad, I started saying that when it was only around 1000 tickets and they've doubled in 24 hours, especially when I'm not advertising.

EDIT // It was pointed out to me that this could be used to abuse the system. In that case, it could be made as such where you could only add on to the existing bio OR mods would be able to see what the original bio was.

Disgusting (#44125) had an idea, (Link) "I feel like you should be able to have an option to switch off things that others can pay with once you’ve met your goal with that specific thing, or if it gets too overwhelmingly high. Like the square for it goes grey meaning that they can no longer offer that for the raffle because there’s already too many! Maybe the person that sets it up can set a certain amount that can be put into the raffle, so once it reaches that number it shuts that one thing off so it can no longer be an acceptable currency for it for when the person is offline and cant turn it off themselves."

Regardless, the raffle system needs a little bit of a change. A revamp. It's outdated and the way that they're conducted is difficult and is very annoying.



This suggestion has 101 supports and 12 NO supports.

I see how in some situations this could be helpful but I feel like this could also be used to abuse the raffle system. A lot of people who raffle off lioness and for whoever wins a certain item. Could edit the raffle information and remove that so people who entered will only get the said item.

I feel like the original raffle bio should not be able to be edited. Maybe little notes added to the bio would be better but that would be a lot of coding I would imagine.

To solve that, there could be a way that mods can see edited bios. See what the original bio was.
Or, like you said, it could be not able to be erased, but you could add on to the bottom of it or something of the sort. Thank you for the input! I'll add that in.

Yeah I'd only support the ability to add on a note, sort of like a comment. It'd be waaay too easy to switch out the lion, even if mods can see previous versions since no one might notice

Well, the raffle winner would notice for sure haha and mention it to mods.
Besides, this was why lions themselves can be added to the raffle. I think people should start using that instead of just posting links to them. There's no reason to post a link, just add the lion onto the raffle. I do think that that should start being enforced.

I'd definitely support adding comments, just so no problems arise from people deleting things from their raffle bios. You mention that people should just put the lion in the raffle itself instead of links, but I thought raffles with lions can only last a couple days? And if you're raffling a tigon or something, it is unlikely you'd earn a fair amount of tickets after just a couple days.

I was pretty sure that you could go longer with lions. I'll double-check that info.
Regardless, people could always raffle them off in forums like they already do. Which has just as much of a scam chance as this type of raffle does (if not more!) since you can edit bios 100% on there and even delete the topic.

there is a reason people host lion raffles with items-

if you place a lion in a raffle, the raffle only lasts 48 hours, and sometimes people want a longer runtime for more tickets.

other than that I completely support this, I feel like countless others have had your issue.

Then they could always raffle off in the forums like so many others already do, which has just as much of a chance of scam than what I'm saying above. :)

no, that'd make it easy to scam people. maybe a comment/note feature where you can ADD notes, but not edit the raffle bio itself.

Please read the replies to this thread and the "EDIT" section at the base of the topic right above "I support" or "I don't support". :D

@DISGUSTING

That could definitely be an option! I'd much rather that than what I've said above. It'd just make things that much easier.

100%!! And that way you don’t have to worry about people ignoring or not seeing your note and entering with the item anyways!

Exactly! That would be a better solution. This way there's no chance of scamming and there's no chance of entering the item in anyway.

I love that idea. I’d 100% support that!!! Plus it’ll make raffles more interesting and people will enter quicker so they dont lose their chance to enter due to what they’re offering being offered too much
