Should we allow posts about limited license giveaways at the forum?

Only 7 replies whats wrong here seems like nobody wants to take part in discussions in the forum. Help us out members and voice your opinion.

Well I am still waiting to hear more from members but not sure how many members would participate.

My vote is No.

Primarily, it's because the forum currently has a very high quality of giveaway posts.

Secondly, I'm not really against it per se... but there will be difficulties. You only need to take a look at the Freebies sections on Raymond.cc to get an idea of the headaches involved for the moderators.

I will say that opening it up will probably result in much more traffic. It's a question of how you set things up and how motivated the moderators are to undertake the extra work.

how motivated the moderators are to undertake the extra work.

I can assure that MODs r really pumped high & waiting to click that delete button

I think posting giveaways on our forum is fine. But not from any other forum's and it's OK. I can find more giveaway, contest and hot deal news for our members, which are from

giveaway websites.

Doing this can let our members get more profits from our forum. And let the forum more and more popular. We can also accumulate more membership

So why not allow?

I want Avinashtech to be my first and last stop for all new information. So, it'd be good if we allow limited license giveaway. Regarding spammers... I know there are enough mods to take care of them

I voted yes, I always thought the limited giveways was something missing on the forum and I agree with Grr, those bloggers can't be that many.

I've been holding out posting in this thread because I wanted to read some comments and take in some of the members thoughts and reasons for their particular vote. I think both the members who voted yes and the ones who voted no have good points and both should be considered.

I guess my thoughts are why not. I definitely think there should be some guidelines in place for those types of posts and a special forum section dedicated to those types of giveaways. As long as it doesn't hurt the members or Avinashtech in any way then we should give it a try, perhaps even on a probationary status to see how it goes first. If things run smoothly and there aren't any issues then we can permanently implement it into the site. On second hand, if it causes problems then re-instate the rules about limited giveaways.

I think it is a good idea to try new things and try to progress as long as it doesn't cause any issues.

Thanks a lot everyone for comments. A new sub-forum is created. Check out the first thread for rules

The sites mentioned in this forum must have a green WOT rating. NO exception. If someone feels that even a red WOT site is good, he should ask for prior aprroval from Mods.

What about if the site doesn't have a WOT rating or is yellow? (I think there is yellow on WOT)

Yup I know, but I wrote Red for a reason. Ask Mods if the WOT rating is yellow too.
