Suggestion:

Adding giveaway requirements (listed below)​

Detailed description:

PikaNetwork has alot of giveaways now and then, but there are multiple ways to exploit entries. People could get alot of bots, and/or make alot of alts for boosting their chances of winning giveaways. Also, most of the people that win giveaways newly linked their account, and are not really active. The following requirements could help with future giveaways:

Account must be linked for atleast 30 days
Active discord user, must send atleast 20 messages a week
Active in-game user, must have atleast 1 hour playtime
No alts allowed; If caught, then the giveaway should be re-rolled​

Reason(s):

Listed above, as well as:
It makes giveaways more "fair" for everyone, as people who barely play the game or people who have linked newly are probably not active enough.​

I mean... As long as one ingame account can be linked to only one discord account then I think this is more than enough as a requirement to win a giveaway.

I give this a +1 Discord giveaway wise (then again they only host giveaways on discord really) as i see ways of implementing this really
Instagram & Twitter wise nah, but then again they don't even announce the social media giveaway winners (i think they should totally ditch those giveaways if they are not planning to announce the winners)

 

[YoItsMeRit]

Yea, This is fair cuz every player can get chance to win the giveaway

Apart from being an active discord user everything else is fine since there are a lot of ppl who don't really use discord to chat on pika's server, and by active in game user u mean 1 hour weekly or just an hour?

Just an hour would be more than enough, because it shows that they have spent 1 hour of their life on this block game server. It shows that they have atleast some sort of interest in pika

I understand the concerns about potential exploitation of giveaways, and your proposed requirements aim to address those issues. However, there might be differing opinions on the second point about requiring a certain level of Discord activity.

Some people may argue that not everyone is equally active on Discord, and some community members may prefer to engage more in the in-game environment rather than on Discord. Imposing a specific message count might discourage certain users or create an artificial barrier for those who are genuinely part of the community but may not communicate as frequently.

It's essential to find a balance between ensuring genuine participation and not excluding members who may contribute in other meaningful ways. Consider discussing and refining this requirement with your community to reach a consensus that aligns with the majority's preferences and maintains a fair and inclusive environment.

USED ALL THE ENGLISH WORDS I KNOW LOL

+1 it will be very annoying to see a person who is never active win a huge giveaway or something, so adding requirements are good suggestion

Para 1 - I defo am genuinely part of community but just don't play as much

Para 2 - I feel excluded even tho I try to contribute in other meaningful ways?

Bro 1st para means you are the part of the bedwars community but not communicate on the discord server as frequently. And para 2 states that the rules shouldn't be like the players who play actively on the server gets excluded from the giveaways

Hello IYBRohan,

Thank you for your interest in creating a suggestion to improve the server. We are always doing our best to make the server a better place for everyone.
However, we have eventually decided to deny your suggestion due to the following reason(s):

• Unnecessary. Bot already pulls out users that have linked accounts.

For your reference, here is a link to our suggestion guidelines → PikaNetwork Suggestion Guidelines.
Please make sure to read and understand them before suggesting again.

We also advise you to use our Thread Search Feature to look for (similar) already made suggestions and upvote them instead.

Have fun playing on PikaNetwork!
