Perhaps they can provide a list of the service providers/items that they already know would/would not appear in this new forum? Then we're not discussing theoreticals.


My initial thought is related to the "splitting hairs" comment earlier. Seems like it might make it harder for people to know what to post where.

Would vendors be allowed to offer free trials of their products/services to FT members? Depending on how this is executed, this could also appear to be spam. I think it benefits FT if they offer these trials though. And on a related note, are they allowed to share coupon codes? I'd prefer to see them either have a locked post where they have the current offers, or have a standing request that people can PM the contact to get it. We don't want to see an endless supply of posts begging for a trial/coupon. Or perhaps these posts can all be in coupon connection?

I'd also like to see an end to the posts in the awardwallet thread where people are sharing affiliate links to give people free trials. That really clutters up discussion of the service itself.
