Posting here so that the discussion can be kept focused. A recent post in the Daily Deals thread raised an interesting point. With a lot of the humble deals etc people in the spirit of the OCuK community often post spare codes from bundles etc as well as every now and again people generously giving game codes away.
So here is a suggestion that I have seen work on other forums. Could we create a limited access Gift / Giveaway section that has certain access conditions.
These would not have to be stringent - perhaps a minimum post count and can only be accessed if you are logged in. This would be a place then that only registered members could access and share codes therefore stopping "guests" lurking here and nabbing codes.
On the GOG forums they have such a section called the gift club, though their access rules require you to apply for access, dont think that level would be necessary.
To recap, how about a section that can only be accessed if you are logged in, have a min post count of 25 and perhaps min join date of 3 months. This way we have a place where contributing members can take advantage of freebees.
I know there is the MM but as no cash is involved this is slighty different
Anyway just a thought and would be interested in peoples thoughts.
