Title: BitPools is not a gambling site. It is a site for voting using the blockchain.

Please move this thread out of the Gambling section before the only users I have on my site are gamblers looking to get free promo money to pull off to some gambling site.

It might not be gambling but giveaways/promos usually go in the games and rounds subforum.

Yes, it still goes in games and rounds because you are requiring people to post in the thread for a giveaway, which generates a lot of spam and bumping of your topic.

Definitely would not have run this promo if I knew I would be stuck in the gambling section where people are looking to get free bitcoins to use on some gambling site.

Lesson learned.

If you're looking for pity, you won't find it here, we caught onto that form of spam a long time ago. If you're looking for solutions,  use that as your dedicated giveaway thread, and make a real service announcement that isn't spam driven.
