I admit that I have also taken advantage of some of the "freebies" posted in S.P.A.M. - but I also agree with the "post padding" going on.

There are many of the post that say something like "Thanks" or "Thank you" and nothing else! Or the post may just be " " or "^ ^ ^ "! Although there may be many views of the thread, there are very few posts with any discussion beyond the OP!

With the exception of the few threads about e-Rewards or My Points, most threads list the "latest" freebie! I do think it has moved from it's original mission.

That said, I'd hate to see it disappear. Maybe it should be a new forum or sub-forum called "free offers". And maybe it should be post (count) restricted. (CC is, but there are still posters and viewers.)
