I never frequent the AC Forum, but this is an interesting discussion.

Apparently AC SWU's can only be used by elites, and as I understand it many believe that when offered for free, the AC forum makes sense because in CC there are many responses from those that can't use them and/or other AC elites that could use them don't frequent CC.

I understand why CC is the main method for any "mutual gifting" or anything else other than a total giveaway.

Now with that said when an employee brings up a concern I always say "well tell me why we should change the policy"? What I see here does not warrant changing the policy, but does (IMO) justify looking to make things better, by trying it, and maybe changing policy in the future (if it works).

So I would suggest why not test drive it? The Rules: 1. Subject of a thread, "Free SWU", 2. The body, "Nothing required". 3. Anything such as I'd like Drink Chits etc. then off to CC. Absolutely free, with no strings attached only.

Personally I can see why there are some valid points of "total" giveaways staying in the AC forum (or even other forums). Not enough to change the policy, but enough to try it out. Now maybe without any Moderator in the AC forum its harder to manage but based on what I read items are being moved based on Randy's "overall policy" not necessarily because there aren't valid arguments to do something otherwise.
