If I wanted a list of freebies, I would go to fatwallet.

I'd certainly support it being re-titled Freebie Corner or Giveaway Central or whatever .. anything would get the meaning of what it is, conveyed better than SPAM!
It's more than just the title. The title of SPAM (Sites with Points and Alternative Miles) originally encompassed e-rewards, MyPoints, Green Stamps (or whatever they were) etc. A place where people could do alternate things to earn miles & points.
It's devolved into a freebie section where anything that's free is posted.
rrgg noted in the referenced thread that SPAM is a clever name but misleading.
Some options I see-
- Keep the SPAM name but only allow discussion on Miles & Points
- Change the SPAM name and create a Freebie sub-forum
Solely changing the name will only put a band-aid on the issue. Personally I'd like to see the 1st. Just my $.02.
