I think the notion that the free samples should be allowed b/c people take them on their trips is complete bunk (and an utter stretch to make it allowable). Really, this group of savvy travelers is going to rely on a coupon for free deodorant that they receive in the mail 6-8 weeks after registering for it?

Nice try.

OK, so say the TB solves this issue by creating a sub-forum for the freebies. Is any freebie allowed in there? Only ones that can be brought on a trip? Can people post free passwords to get into porn websites?

It's a slippery slope, and one that does not enhance FT's core mission of catering to the World's Most Popular Frequent Flyer Community.

Upon even more consideration, I urge you to completely ban posting "Freebie" threads in SPAM.

It's quite simple, these threads do not deal with "Sites with Points and Alternative Miles, including referral bonuses, congas and any other loyalty currencies." Moreso, the SPAM Forum is under the Miles&Points Category which, as you know, are "topics are all about frequent flyer programs - and only frequent flyer programs." I fail to see how these posts contribute to that.
