Freebie section not really how I imagined

    The utopia which I imagined the freebie section to be has really not occurred. I am sure that many people feel the same way.

    What happened was a few people started offering stumbles as 'free'. No real problem there.

    Then however people started trading stumbles. FGS! These should go into the trade section!

    I propose infractions for anybody that offers a "trade" in the freebie section.

    I definitely visit that forum less now due to all the stumble and digg posts. It would be great if they could just move all that stuff to another area.

    Or they could just add three subs

    >Free Social Bookmarking > Free Scripts & Products > Free Useless Crap

    I think that would fix it,

    I also agree that there should be a new section for Social Bookmarking.

    The problem is that if you start another section or move it to the trade section, you will still get the same overload and people complaining. I agree with Devin and zerosleep that it would just cause a case of Itrade overload. Could you imagine how easy it would be for scammers and spammers to come on and load up on stumble Itrade then rip people off. I say leave it the way it is. JMO

    Freebies should be left alone. it's the same reason why P&R doesn't have a sub forum.
