I would like to add to the protest. I have intermittently posted for a couple of years - and have given away 3 coupons to FTers without compensation ( a club pass twice and a 50% spg - all about to go bad). I feel restricted in giving away things - I've never asked for anything but advice - and I try to check the boards first.
I agree that a time limit - perhaps 1 year and 25 posts - makes more sense.
Oops - I'm one post closer to 100!
