    IMHO I think its up to the individual's morals.

    If a freebie is aimed at a certain group i.e. businesses people who can genuinely can use it in the course of their business should only apply for it.

    But as this is a money saving site I think different freebies aimed at different groups of people should and can be posted.

    I posted a freebie today aimed at people with a child with diabetes, I would hope genuine people who have a child with diabetes would only apply for this as it is a charity.

    Again I think peoples morals have to come into play. We're all adults on this board and I'd hope common sence would prevail.

  • About time this was said, and it is not only deception to to apply for freebies that are not aimed at you/your target group.

    MOST freebies on here are samples and aimed at people who may concider buying the product, how many people on here go on to buy any of the products after? i am sure a few do, but not very many,

    Does this still apply? :confused: If so should it be a part of the "guide to using the freebies board"?? :cool:
    :D

    Yes I also think this information would be very helpful in the guide.

    I do wonder what percentage of people that use this board read the guide, especially non registered readers. I expect there are quite a lot out there.
