I'm a little confused about why giveaways are against the rules... I can see it being banned for commercial interests, as it amounts to free advertising, but what about Dogs wanting to help out other members of the Yard? I don't get why that would go against the rules.
Like, just after BLADE, I offered a random drawing to let a fellow Dog get my extra SOD at cost. Technically, you could probably call that a raffle or something - was that against the rules? And if so, why?
Thanks for any clarification.
You don't think a sheath maker offering labor for goods is commercial or advertising? I sure do.
Their are plenty of other places to advertise and do business and the boss has said he doesn't want it here, nor do many of us.
Generous dawgs make the Yard a great place but it can easily be done in private, not "advertising" in public threads.
