Man of Honour
It seems that lately more and more people are coming in here, taking codes from threads and then disappearing without saying thank you to the person giving the code away. This obviously goes very much against the spirit of this forum, so I would like to make the following suggestion to all people using this forum - If you are giving away a game code, please do not post the code on the forum first.
This is not a rule, but merely a suggestion. I imagine that some people hang around this section quite a lot in the hope of getting some free games, and while there is nothing wrong with that, it does mean they are always better placed to redeem codes that are posted for everyone to see.
Ideally, I'd like to see anyone giving a code away to state what they're giving away, then give the code away to a random poster later that day, giving everyone a chance to get the code, not just those who may be around at the time. However, I know some of you genuinely don't care who gets the code, and are happy to let whoever comes first take the code. The choice is obviously yours as the person giving the game away.
If anyone wants to give a code away at random, but doesn't have the time to do it, you could always contact me through my Trust, and I'll pass the code on to someone random at a later time. I will obviously never keep the code for myself
As I said, the above is just a suggestion, not a rule we'll be enforcing. If you want to continue posting the code on the forum for the first person to use, you are free to do so (after all, it's your code). However, if you manage to redeem a code that someone has put up, please do the decent thing and thank them afterwards. It's the least they deserve.
