IIRC, IB has stated (view) restriction can only be applied by forums, not by individual threads. If that's the case, unless you are asking TB to consider a Coupon Codes Forum, there's no way to impose such restriction on viewers. I think catering a Coupon Codes Forum for those one post/shot wonders is simply unnecessary.

IMHO, those one-post coupon code beggers are just like spammers. They are takers and leave when mission accomplished. I doubt they would even bother to post their thank-you notes. It might be easier for MODs to treat them like spammers and remove their posts and/or threads. And for regular FTers like me, we can just ignore those "requests."

For codes flowing or sharing in CC, we've already established 180/180 rule. So no worries there.
