It is a free raffle for members of the community - while it is for specific members who have done (I believe translation services) an action. Those actions were already done. And this raffle slots are awarded to them. Still free and still free for members of the community. Even if limiting.
Every single raffle held in the collectibles area has requirements and limits on who can join. In the end, they are giving something away so they have a right to decide who is eligible to participate.
The only time it really becomes an issue is if they require merit. And that has been pointed out on prior raffles where it was removed from the list of requirements.
There is nothing FREE as you say.
In every side of the world the physics work the same. Two ways of making money: labor or risk. There is no third option.
People did their labor, thats okay, but does it mean what ever they earned is FREE? no! it is insulting to say that.
I am bitcointalk community member too, but i can not be qualified because i haven't done that labor to earn the spot.
Shortly, the image that he used to advertise his project should have sounded like that:
Extra reward for my workers, specific members who have done this or that. Thank you
It is free to people who have done an action in the past.
By your logic no free raffle could ever exist as all would require the participants to do at least one thing - register for the forums. That is taking an action and thus by your logic - not free.
You are nitpicking where it need not be done. People did translations, they are rewarding those that did with a raffle for a free card that only one of them will get. It is not payment.
Note - anyone can do the translations - if you had done one (that does not make you their employee - some do the translation to benefit members of the community who cannot translate)_They are not employees of the company. They are members of the community here.
By your logic we should start filtering members by rank, feedback, labor they did and etc.
WHO CARES?
all equal. that is what bitcoin is for.
apply your logic on Bitcoin network:
"Bitcoin is free to use for the community, but only specific members can use it on weekends.
You also has to be rich and not to be black to make the broadcasts on the network. When asked you have to show your passport. Network nodes remain the right not to accept or eliminate any tx entry without any reason
BUT ITS FREE. ITS FOR THE COMMUNITY."
This is my point, if they play the marketing game, they have to adjust it. we are not dumb.
This is a nice way to advertise company when what ever you give is inside of your circle of workers.
This is not for the community and not free by any mean.
Now we have all eaten another AD. Thank You
