    Though i selected "NO" on the poll but i still appreciate the change. Sure it won't improve the quality but i certainly hope it improves the quantity.

    Private messages can certainly help in this. Don't be shy guys, I am not going to eat you,( although Grr might, he is a lion)
    I agree with you ash. Not many are comfortable posting at chatbox and that's why I suggested to have an exclusive thread to get permissions. That way, it'd be easier for mods to moderate and also members will know where to go to get permission for a giveaway....

    Practically its not possible Sam. The reason--- if someone asks for permission in a thread, the URl is already public and not under MOds queue unless some mod looks at it which sometime may be even a day or more.

    Oh! If it's impossible then its ok. What arn said is also good. I think there should be an easy way to communicate with mods... Some ways, we can use forms, threads (moderated as arn said) etc...

    Thread moderation is a option we could go for...

    if guess it would be easier rather than going through chats


    also we should put a complete NO to etc, etc Video converters- - as most have a WOT issue

    Don't think that's the only reason to disallow those. The most important can be "bored and disgusted" .

    @Arnab- true, but the % of THOSE bloggers won't be more than 10%.

    @ALL - if we ALLOW, pls consider the following points:

    1. Identify prepare a list of all those forums/blogs/sites/vendors-which are allowed here to post either their own giveaways or someone else posting
    2. Make separate sub-forums for EACH direct site giveaway such as tipradar, facebook, twitter, WinX direct, blog giveaways, special 7/10/30 days events...this would help US better organize+Moderate

    In the end we Do Not want to have spammers here, but not every member who had (or will) post a limited giveaway is a spammer.

    Yours Sincerely,
    Lion
    --Very nice there! I second that! and I vote "yes" also --but do consider Grr's suggestion(just me!)

    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.
