facebook freebies

Options
with the amount of facebook and other social sites offering freebies, is it not time to give them either a sticky of their own or maybe even there own section, some of the info they want is unbelievable.

    enter them at your own risk, as this is how the dodgy marketing firms gather your Data.

    I dont think thats such a good idea as each one needs its own title so then people can decide whether or not they want to send off for them as opposed to looking through pages of threads all on different things.

    Hope that makes sense.

    I agree, one deal per thread or you end up trawling!

    sorry, wasnt to clear was i. I thought more like its own section like the ebay section or free no spend and free low spend. The reason being was FB freebies seem to be taking up loads of column space you end up looking at what you think might be a freebie but the find its FB and I would just like to avoid the waste altogether

    Call it 'Facebook Freebies/Giveaways' or something like that.

  • I dont think it should be changed. Just make more bother. Hey there ARENT that many freebies.
  • you could always ask for facebook F/B - twitter, to be put in the title, as they do in comps
    No longer posting on freebies or comps
  • I would agree to make their own thread or section - as it is you click on a freebie just to find it's a Facebook freebie...which I refuse to participate in due to information required or the need to 'like' them on Facebook. Or it would be nice if more people mentioned 'Facebook' in titles for freebies on Facebook, it'd save me some time...but then it's a bit much to ask everyone to do this for my benefit :P

    Its not just you ! I agree there should be a policy to make this clear

    There was an incredible competition for a major computer security firm (oh the irony) recently that required you to go through four levels of security including giving them full access to your and all your Facebook friends data before you could even see what was required to enter
