The "Giveaways" update to the app has lead to a flood of junk posts trying to get tickets.

Ever since the app was updated with the "Giveaway" tab, there's been a noticable influx of posts that are nothing more than blatant attempts to grab 50 entry tickets with junk comments like, "good deal," "great deal," "Nice deal," and so on. It's getting tiresome and and making it hrs to find useful comments. Could some kind of filter be added to vlock yhese comments, or at the very least, disincentivize them by not issuing the tickets for for generic or too short posts.

Maybe require a word count, or add a filter than autoblock overly common, generic comments, or something. This ticket chasing trend isn't just bad for the users, it bad for Slickdeals as a business. The more this becomes common, the less useful this site it to the end user, and the more likely people are to look for other sources for deals.
