It looks like at least one coin is trying to spam their way to popularity with giveaways and if it is remotely successful that is all this section will become

Why are people playing along here? Is the community really that shallow and stupid?

If they start cracking down on posts and things remember it is DIMEs fault.

Let's say you want to scam some stupid people and get their coins. You know people are greedy and dumb as shit.. what do you do?

Right, create a new coin with endless supply, pre mine it, distribute malware wallets which will infect the computers and steal some coins that have actual value, let massive amounts of  give away threads be created by the stupid community itself, BINGO.

Currently 8 DIME giveaways on the front page. Looks like they are starting again.

too many scam coins (dog, cat, dime) with giveaway threads. The good coins don't have a chance to be seen.

A giveaway section would make it a little easier for those wanting to grab a share of whatever coins are up for grabs.
As for the malware wallet attack vector this can be mitigated by either using a Virtual Machine (or other sandboxing methods) or just
sticking to coins already on an exchange and using that address to get the coins.
