okay, I’m certain you’ve seen this.
“Everyone must go! DM me! Any ones not in unsorted are convince me!” (And of course, there are none in unsorted)

I don’t think we should allow things not actually being given away for free to be advertised. It’s a giveaway. We can’t be advertising things that you have to work towards and maybe not even get there. We should only be advertising guaranteed free things (even if it is a F2E raffle or something, as the giveaway is the raffle ticket), not “convince me to give it to you”




This suggestion has 336 supports and 7 NO supports.

Support. 90% of the time the free lions are potato fodders and the "convince me" lions are rosettes, muties, special bases, etc and no matter WHAT you write in they will never give you the lion.

Just feels like they are showing off their valuable lions and stroking their own egos

I'm not really sure- I do the "convince me" but it's just so ik they will take care of the lion, and they always get it. You don't have to pay anything to convince someone? Sorry if I'm missing something.

This is entirely new to me, but if it is like you guys describe, I wholeheartedly agree and support. Giving away something shouldn’t come with strings attached, and if you’re worried someone is going to ‘mistreat’ the lion in question, maybe you shouldn’t be giving it away.

Ghilanain (#129572)-

"Giving away lots of lions! PM links of ones you like! Muties, decorated lions, specials and rosettes are convince me lions though! (I CAN SAY NO!!)"

This is pretty much what people say in the giveaway chat. It's totally ridiculous, don't mention lions for "giveaway" if you never plan on actually giving them away. One user has been posting in giveaway chat and every time I look at their "convince me" lions they are all still there. After literal WEEKS of posting and I bet a good chunk of messages, NONE of them were "convincing" enough? Just super annoying and lowkey advertising. As they will "coincidentally" have these "convince me" lions in the same dens as their sales.

Giveaway chat should be for direct giveaways only otherwise it's not really giving something away

I'd wager a guess that the no supports are people who say "convince me." I think this is very fair.

A user said:
"All unamed needs to go I will mass kill, all others can be asked/convinced for :] I don't bite dm me might give a mut out, maybe a named"

I mean, what is the point of giving something away if it has to be ASKED/CONVINCED FOR??? like??
