Localization

Hello,
I have a relatively big french server and I would like to know if there is any plan to add localization to the bot, for the sake of consistency. E.g. you have a winner message both in english and in french (for the prize name) but it doesn't look great.

Thanks

Suggestion --> Adding some restrictions

Would be cool to be able to set a specific role to use the bot or some specific users

Offline Winners

Offline winners show up as ID numbers instead of a Username which forces us to reroll because you can’t ping an ID #

Untimed Giveaways

I'd really like to be able to do 1 month giveaways. Why is the bot limited to 14 days, and is there any chance we could have it increased?

Maybe try applying for verification?

Discord has a program where bots that are not verified can not join above 100 servers, and started as of pretty recently, that rule has been enforced. Since your bot isn't verified, yet is in over 700,000 servers, no one else can invite the bot. I'm not sure of this, but this could also mean that Discord may start forcing your bot to leave thousands of servers at once due to it. I know it's more of a Discord problem than a bot problem, but I think it's pretty important as this bot is relied on by a ton of people.

Allowing specific roles to create giveaways

Many people wish to create a role called "Giveaways" people can subscribe to. I'd recommend looking for something like "Giveaways Admin" or something of that nature. Otherwise it's incredibly easy for people to accidentally give the "Giveaways" role to everyone.

Blocking roles

I've read that you don't want any users to be favoured over others who entered the giveaway, what about blocking some from entering it in the first place?
Could you implement something like "Giveaway" role (which allows creating giveaways) but one that will ignore users who reacted to the giveaway that have a certain role? (disabling read messages permission isn't an option)

Giveaways ending in future day(s) show ending "today"

I posted a giveaway scheduled to end in 2 days. In the post it says "ends at: Today" with the time it posted which was the past. It does correctly say "Time remaining: 2 days".Image

If I was to self-host

If I was to self-host the bot where would I put the bot token?

Allowing Specific Roles To Create Giveaways

Allowing the Manage Server permission is not one I’d want to give, and creating an entirely separate role called “Giveaways” adds what I’d see as an unnecessary role to the role list. Adding the ability to configure the usage of the bot to allow a particular role selected by Admins to control the bot would be a step in the right direction.

"Time remaining: 1 hours"

This is a minor grammatical problem, but should also be a minor fix.

Letting other bots create giveaways

Could you maybe make it so that other bots can create giveaways/use GiveawayBot's commands? i.e. if a server's members reaches some threshold, my bot starts a giveaway using GiveawayBot like a normal user would.

!gstart

won't start giveaways

How to reroll a giveaway with >1 winners

If I make a giveaway for 2 winners, and 1 doesnt claim his prize, how do i reroll for 1 more winner instead of rerolling for the 2 of them?

where i have to entry bot takon sir tell me

Giveaway not ending.

Hello. Can you help me using giveaway bot? Giveaway timer is stopped, I tried !gping, it answered. at !glist, it says its active but says ending now. I tried !gend, it didnt worked.

Allow tagging of roles for giveaway

When creating a giveaway, can you add the option to tag / @ a specific role? Lot of the time members don't know a giveaway is happening - would love to be able to tag the post they need to react to.

Multiple Giveaway Admins

Is it possible to let muliple people start giveaways?

Ability to target a specific channel using gstart

Currently using !gcreate to start giveaways in channels other than where the command is issued, but would be nice to be able to use !gstart.

Giveaway not ending

Giveaway not ending fo already few hours from target time, !gend not working. What should I do?

Setup

Where i can enter token??

How to host this bot on heroku?

Is it possible to favour different roles with a higher chance of winning?

I'm looking to start offering giveaways to anyone on my Discord server, but I'm wanting donors and Patreon supporters to weigh higher. Is this something GiveawayBot can accomplish?

Ideally I'm wanting something like:

• An entry from a regular user has a weight of 1.
• An entry from anyone with Role X has a weight of 3.
• An entry from anyone with Role Y has a weight of 5.

Thus, Role X would have a 3x higher chance of winning over a regular user, but Role Y would have a 66.67% higher chance of winning over them. Ultimately, anyone in Role Y would win 5 times more often than a regular user.

[GH Pages] Alignment issues on mobile

The hamburger menu button is aligned to the gif at the bottom of the page.
The gif needs to re-scale for each device so the hamburger menu isn't offscreen anymore.
Example:

Samsung S9 emulated for example in Mozilla Firefox, also happens on my real phone.

Possible fix:
index.html#99 add css property width: 100%;

Multiple Entries?

Any way to have multiple entries? This would be really useful for a number of different giveaways.

post a giveaway with an image

Hello,
by the way, super bot, I use it on several serv discord.

to illustrate the "giveaway" is it possible to add an image or gif etc
it would be very useful!

thanks a lot

Giveaways with more than 15 winners

Discord link

Since i have no clue how im suppose to report this any other way

Reroll

So when I giveaway multiple things certain giveaways get overlapped, and since we don't want 1 person to get multiple items we need to reroll the extras but we can't. It just says "That is not a valid message ID" when we try to reroll a specific item. Whether we use the name, the name in "'s, in [ ], the @person the persons name as the ID nothing. So how do you reroll specific items??? @jagrosh

Suggestion | Role limited giveaways

It would be cool to be able to limit a giveaway to certain roles (like @Level 10). I know Santa Wumpus already has this, but it sends you 2 discord invite links once you join or get denied to join, so I don't use it.

Database

Hello, I was wondering what database this uses. Thanks

Bot not declaring a winner.

The giveaway of my server is bugged. The bot doesn't declare a winner despite of the giveaway end time being passed more than 30 minutes ago.

I would like to know what to do, since this is the second time I'm trying to make a giveaway. This has been very embarrassing for my server...

[Issue] Remove setup messages when giveaway has been created

Hi, How I can remove all setup message automatically when the giveaway start?

If I can't automatically, it is something you need to add to make the bot AMAZING ;)

If I can, let me know how.

Thanks again and nice job on this

Editing on-going Giveaways

In the Discord Giveaways's #support channel, it's been asked many, many times to edit on-going Giveaways. Perhaps this should become a feature.
I can see the disadvantages of editing Giveaways though, especially when editing them shortly before they end. Perhaps it's possible to allow users to edit a Giveaway for a few (10-15) minutes after creation?
This could become an interesting discussion...

Cant opt out of a giveaway.

Users cant opt out of a giveaway after joining.

[Draft] to change

what was i thinking when i made this?

Get entrants in Giveaway.

Goal

Add a new command to the GiveawayBot that enables users to retrieve the Discord names of entrants in a giveaway. For example:

!gEntrants <ID>

Where ID is the ID of the giveaway you want to get the list of entrants from.

---

Reason
The tada reaction only lists the first few entrant names.

No contents once giveaway is created

Hi there,

I've added your bot to my server but when I create the giveaway, it creates it in the channel I selected but doesn't have any contents (ie: doesn't tell the user to react, doesn't say when it will end, etc).

Issue

Giveawaybot isn't responding to any of the commands (!gcreate, !ghelp, etc) and I'm not sure why. The permissions are all fine and I checked that no one changed the prefix.

Suggestion: Only allow users with a specific role to participate/win a giveaway

Example: If the user reacts and doesn't have the lvl 5 role then don't allow them to participate but if another user reacts and has the lvl 5 role then allow that user to participate in the giveaway. The role can be chosen while creating a new giveaway

This will be a nice feature to have cause it will prevent from having to reroll giveaways until a person with the correct requirements is found
