Hello!

Unfortunately, in my little experience with using the giveaway chat, I've found some major inconveniences that come with using the giveaway chat - my biggest problem being the inability to tell if a giveaway has been completed or not.

Ping systems were annoying, yes, but they were convenient in allowing the player to signify whether or not the giveaway had been claimed. I understand this is solved by simply checking the poster's den, but some people post lions from side accounts.

As such, I suggest a few ways to fix this:
➵ Allowing for original posters to edit their giveaway chat post, so players may signify that it has been claimed, or to signify how many cubs are still available.
➵ Allowing for a delete option. I've posted giveaways with a typo in the link and had to wait 10 minutes to rectify the issue - if I can delete a giveaway that has been claimed or delete a giveaway that didn't work correctly, that would be extremely helpful and may prevent people from abusing the editing feature.
➵ Allowing ping-based giveaways. It's annoying, and it's spammy, but it works. This would be a small change for the time being whilst coders worked on one of the above options, as I understand things like this take time to implement even when this sort of feature works in forums.

Thank you for reading - please leave you opinions below and I will edit my post to include noteworthy ones, both positive and negative

Fully support! Or at least any way to indicate it has ended.

Support! I like the idea of being able to delete your giveaway post when it is completed, and allowing ping-to-claim giveaways. They were an annoyance in main chat, but the giveaway chat is *meant* for giveaways, so I see no issue with having ping-to-claim giveaways.

Other chat-based giveaways, like "guess a number" or something, can stay in the forums.
