Maybe you can consider to add giveaway section.So that you can avoid confusion.Forum members will increase.

I mean, add a special area for giveaway.

It's been requested before. You can make a thread about it in Meta if you wish but it's unlikely to happen.

nothing new about giveaway/faucet threads?
it possible to enable child board Giveaway / Faucet section?
thanks!

[Sellers]

Thanks for the heads up ,was just about to do this : P

[farrukh]

there should be separate section for alt coin giveaways like game and rounds in bitcoins.

Most giveaway threads are no longer allowed in the Alternate cryptocurrencies sections. From now on, posting or replying to such threads could result in being banned. Existing threads will be locked.

Specifically, you are not allowed to give people any incentive to post insubstantial posts in your threads. You can't offer to pay people who post their addresses, usernames, etc. You can do giveaways off-site and link to the giveaway page in a thread, but you can't give people any bonus for replying to your thread.

Similar threads are already restricted to Games and Rounds in the non-altcoin sections, but the giveaway-related post volume is so high in the altcoin sections that I've decided to just ban them entirely here.

why you get decided like that?
whats erong with giveaway?

How about that?

Well, then use the "Report to moderator" link at the bottom right side of every post.

Yes i would say so to people asking to much and not giving enough

[SecretsOfCrypto]

Wow so many rules. People are free. Should able to give away whatever they want. I'm unsure how you think you will stop this?

I'll just repeat what I said thousands of times:

This is not a community owned online forum as that's practically legally impossible. This is a private discussion forum owned by theymos. He has made rules by which you follow or get kicked out. Regarding enforcement, ummm, well, we just ban those that create on-forum giveaways. Not exactly difficult.

Wow, it looks like I will have a little trouble to get a dime from people who like to share in the forum giveaway here 

However, it does not matter

[prophetx]

create another forum called "giveaways"  ...  why are so many people in Bitcoin with thick skulls

[bronan]

I think it indeed got out of control i actually hardly check the altcoin section anymore because its so full with this giveaways, but maybe there should be a limited amount allowed and absolutely not the same coins promoted all the time.
I think the biggest issue is that these guys constant make new threads to get attention which actually for me does the opposite, i simply ignore them fully.

What problem you think to experience if you follow the rules Theymos set in his OP and go post in BTC-themed Games & Round sub-board? If you greedly care about dimes...you could still get some there (albeit in BTC, not in altcoins).

I agree with this so that Altcoin forum won't flood of giveaway thread. Altcoin forum looks like confused now.

[Lenore]

Maybe its a good idea to keep them.   But have a way to regulate it.
I can see where it can be a problem but also see a good side if it is controlled.

just my 2 cents
