My Giveaways 1.1.0

When creating giveaway contests, this plugin allows you to fairly and randomly select a winner from all the replies.

Reply with [giveaway] and the winner will be marked green, as well as their username will be shown in your post.

Additional actions are available, such as automatic private message to the user who won the contest and automatically locking the thread. These are optional and can be disabled if desired.

The templates for the private message and post mycode texts are all customisable inside the language files.

As a final plus, the plugin does NOT allow re-using the giveaway mycode once a winner has been chosen, to avoid unfair practices.
