Added a rule to ModBot for NOWINNERSDAILY--this will be useful. A lot of people yesterday used NOWINNERSWEEKLY or NOWINNERS and found it was hard to actually give anything away that way since so many giveaways have occurred during this sale. NOWINNERSDAILY protects you from frequent claimers while still being realistic for the sale. Or you can feel free to keep giving away stuff with no rules whatsoever if you don't want to.
I also slightly adjusted the timing thresholds for all giveaways:
If your number of wins in the last week is--
0-8: 30 minutes between win eligibility
9-14: 12 hours between win eligibility
15+: 72 hours between win eligibility
For reference, the stats look like:
504 people claimed at least one key
102 people claimed 4 or more keys
79 people claimed 5 or more keys
59 people claimed 6 or more keys
43 people claimed 7 or more keys
33 people claimed 8 or more keys
27 people claimed 9 or more keys -- top 5% of all claimers
21 people claimed 10 or more keys and hit the first level of throttle
4 people claimed 15 or more keys and hit the second level of throttle (including our dearly departed) -- top 1% of claimers
So you can see based on the actual statistics those throttles are designed to be fair and only impact the top claimants. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this causes the people hitting the timing thresholds. Honestly, they won't impact anyone outside of the sale period because this level of giveaway is unlikely to be sustained. How you understand.
The only programming job I plan to do today is to allow users to send a PM to ModBot requesting everything they've won. This will be a low priority operation, designed so that if ModBot fails to send a PM during a busy time that the user can still claim their key later and I don't need to do manual support on those cases.
Post the wall of shame! Edit: I'm also fairly certain your throttling (at least the 30 min one) is not working for some reason. I somehow managed to win 2 games within 11 mins yesterday.
