Not allowing giveaway threads is a dumb f*****g idea.
At least create a sub-forum for it.

There are both offer and demand for shitcoin giveaways because guess what, sometimes people get lucky.

I got very lucky last month when i found out i still had lots of Stellar lumens from their 2014 giveaway.

Please fix that quickly. Huh

I agree with the decision, please, the point of the Alt Coin section of Bitcointalk was so that you could have basic conversation about whatever coins you wanted here

Most giveaway threads are no longer allowed in the Alternate cryptocurrencies sections. From now on, posting or replying to such threads could result in being banned. Existing threads will be locked.

Specifically, you are not allowed to give people any incentive to post insubstantial posts in your threads. You can't offer to pay people who post their addresses, usernames, etc. You can do giveaways off-site and link to the giveaway page in a thread, but you can't give people any bonus for replying to your thread.

Similar threads are already restricted to Games and Rounds in the non-altcoin sections, but the giveaway-related post volume is so high in the altcoin sections that I've decided to just ban them entirely here.

I agree with the decision regarding giveaway threads because such threads will absurd the prosperity of this forum and it should be the responsibility of all members on this forum to try to avoid such threads by not posting/replying to such threads to discourage the people who post these threads.
No one can benefit himself/herself by offering incentives to members for post/replying on their threads.

The statement, that is , Giveaway threads are not allowed , is not logical. Rather,due to giveaway(free gift) people are inspired to collect new data which is beneficial.Sometimes excessive posting on it creates spam,but due to several posting we also get valuable information on cryptocurrency.

What do you think are incentive to post insubstantial posts? People can already spam.
We need to give a specific definition of this word.

If you have seen before there are signature campaign rules about "Posting in ANN thread" and it is a requirement. Mostly 1 post is required but we've seen that every campaign followed the rules as it was strictly implemented by moderators especially by the administrator. And that is the meaning of incentivizing posts.

There are other forums that do allow giveaways, like CryptoCurrencyTalk, though the community here is substantially larger and better informed

what is this ?

One of the forum's rules.

It is good that the altcoin giveaway related post volume and program are put under control in other to avoid insubstantial post or spamming the forum. I check the OP page of this topic and I found out that this rules was created since January 27, 2014. I would like to know if this rule is still active due to what I'm seeing lately.

It's still active.

Does this also include bounties for translations (example)?

Bounty for work done (e.g. translations) are not giveaways. In loosest context it's more like contract work being done on spec. I do think some of the newer "airdrops" fall very close to being giveaways and I'm a little perplexed at how some recent sig/bounty campaigns have been clamped down on whilst some VERY sketchy airdrop threads are able to run unchecked.

I don't like being a dick, but i think i'm going to start reporting up more of those threads to the mods. Recently some long running ANNs were locked due to relatively minor infractions, and I fear many scam airdrop threads go unattended.

i noticed this as well... i saw 2 projects get their threads locked

what exactly is wrong with this??

I heard there are new policies for all signature campaigns(people can post wherever they want now, bounty managers can't force users to post in specific threads or sections anymore) but I don't know where we can find these new policies.
Does anyone know where we can find that please?

I also think that they both bouties and giveaway create events held by certain parties (usually coin developers etc) to share their coins for free and legal.

why the giveaway thread is not allowed and allow reviews major forget.
create and market new cryptos new 1,000,000 saturating the market

you do not own this forum you are not a stockholder in the company that owns this forum and there's no one here that is interested in your opinion in any way shape or form.

i'm interested in his opinion douche

That is good to know, not that I planned to start any giveaways myself, but some of my partners will find this information rather useful.
