I think some measures could have been taken to reduce customer stress; communication between S-E and Shopto before announcing the campaign to ensure sufficient stock. They sold out within minutes, on a weekday. Apparently some items were sold out before the campaign began (did anyone get the elusive timecard?) People just want to follow the instructions of the campaign and receive their item code. At the moment it's impossible, but I appreciate S-E letting us know they are working on the problem. The community is harsh anyway even without provocation, but in this case I kinda like that people are leaving negative feedback, it makes me hope things will be resolved faster and maybe better prepared next time.
