    9 out of 10 posts are for digg exchanges, can there not be a section just for them?

    Because that would be endorsing something that results in our members being banned. Why would we promote that?

    have you read Digg say "don't talk about digg"?

    Thats stumble exchange threads not digg.

    I can't see much members asking for diggs now ?

    What you want to say about exchange threads like stumble etc,
    actually those are not free.

    Agreed. I'm sure you'd agree though Sarah that Digg exchanges aren't really what Freebies is intended for. For a start they aren't actually free - they're exchanges, which require reciprocation. Can we not just say Digg exchanges aren't allowed full stop?

    What about calling it a "Social Bookmark Exchange" It will work very good.

    Better to make a rule NO EXCHANGES.
    i mean like if someone want to offer free stumbles then don't ask anything in exchange.

    Or better still just a forum just called 'Social Bookmarking' where anything related can be posted - that removes the implication that DP endorses these exchanges, merely turns a blind eye to them. Make it a stand alone forum with no iTrader privileges.

    There are a lot of diggs and stumble threads, which arnt actually offering things for free.

    Its filling up a category that they shouldnt be in. Im not saying DP endorses something or not im not arguing about that, i just think that they should be taken out of an area they are flooding. Or as someone else said - remove them altogether either seems a good idea

    SU isnt that strict. BTW just noticed even i am banned from Digg lolz!

    But yeah, a separate section for Social Bookmarking exchanges is a nice idea. Repped you for that ;)

    Agreed, personally I'm very surprised to see that you guys haven't been banned yet. I'm sure this is only a temporary thing though. :rolleyes:
