Freebie posting guidelines

Karen · #1 02-21-2007, 08:09 AM

It has come to my attention that we are having a problem with freebies being reposted. The mods and I are going to be taking a new approach to this matter. From now on, duplicate posts will be deleted. We don't like doing this, but it is a necessary action. So please help us by searching before posting.

To access the search feature, click on the "search" link in the freebie forum. Type in 1 or 2 keywords, such as the company name or item that is being given away.

Example: Dove deodorant

If the offer you are going to post is not already here, please post the name of the company and the free item in the subject line.

Thank you for helping keep things tidy here in the freebie forum!

Great idea Karen! This should be a sticky

So a title like "3 Music CDs from Capitol Records" would be appropriate.
Very easy to do.

Yes, exactly.

This needs a bump so everyone will know how to do posts.

this is for everyone:

please please please do a couple different searches when you are posting freebies. i do not like to delete your posts. there are way too many reposts going on.

I just want to thank everyone who does post and thank you for taking the time to check for duplicates

Duplicate posts happen but I think it is a good idea to try and keep them to a minimum. Many thanks to all of the generous members here who unselfishly post free samples and other goodies for all to share.

Please don't stop posting. You've done a great job and we really
appreciate them all.

Sometimes you have to search using more then one word or set of
words to check if someone else may have already posted an offer.
