[... I do have one suggestion I'd like to offer...not calling it a criticism or a "don't like", just an idea.

I've seen a few posts (again I haven't read them all so forgive me if this is a repeat) from members suggesting how the forums can be tided up. I would like to suggest that a separate forum be created just for "Rewards Programs".
......
The Freebies forum should instead be used for "one-off" offers that may not be repeated, or to notify when occasional offers (like the P&G Brandsaver samples) come available.

I find that certain threads for the more popular programs (especially Swagbucks, Lockerz and Luckysearch) are so popular that they get comments every few minutes. And every time a comment is made, the thread gets bumped back to the top, displacing other offers. If anyone doesn't bother to check page 2 of the freebies forum (which I admit I don't always do if I'm in a hurry), someone could potentially miss out a great freebie.
.....
I have noticed that a few of the ongoing threads on the Contests page are actually also for loyalty programs for various radio and TV stations. ...}

I humbly ditto this .

Is there an FAQ section or a section for beginners? That would help very much.

Thanks (a newbie)

I don't know if this has been mentioned before and I'm sure it has but here goes again.

There are many threads in the Deals Section that get bumped every week, Old Navy, Huggies Enjoy the Ride, Safeway and now another one called ELF something.

I find that these clutter up the top 10 threads all the time. Can there be a sticky for all the weekly postings of codes and deals related to these threads? I'm sure many people view them but I am not one of them and when I go to look for deals it seems this is all I see.

Theres a lot i dont like about this site

1) I cant post an ad
2) I cant reply to a private message
3) I don't have a quote button or a pm button...
4) when i do reply to a private message I have no smiles and I cant put an icon

I thought all these problems were caused by my computer but no...this is a fresh install also tried on a few different browsers but still no luck so that's not the issues the issues is with you guys!!!

[koala]

My inbox is still being spammed with reported posts about referral links in the body of posts, and excessive banners in signatures.
Still nothing has been done about it.

There's my beef.

No idea why the Glade thread is stickied. I don't think it should be. Sticky's are usually board-related topics/rules/guidelines only.

I do agree that the popular programs that keep getting bumped may need their own category, somehow.

Normally I would say you should have PM'ed Boo about this, if you haven't. But in this case, since I'm making the list of things for him to look into anyway, I will add your concerns because none of this should be happening.

to be honest its been an on going problem since i joined 8 months ago!!! but this is really starting to get on my nerves....

That shows you that it's a concern amongst many people on here. I don't know if I would call it "spam" though.

I have a thread where I post the current MAC cosmetics free shipping codes here.

And a thread about ELF discount codes here.

To me it's spamming. I still have some mod priviledges eventhough I do not exercise them.
In other words, Boo won't remove this.

Yes I know but as said before is it necessary to have a thread for every shipping code??I think it would be best if there was just one thread with all the shipping codes in it.All the free shipping code threads are cluttering up the deals page.Sorry just my 2 cents

I think Boo should hire someone to share his tasks, don't know if he goes to school part time, full time or has another job, but he's obviously a little overloaded with other things. Maybe the amount of success of this site wasn't expected but it's time to have a assistant admin who has time on their hands to deal with and sort out issues esp the money issues (cough cough cash back and cash awards) in a timely manner.

You said exactly what I have been thinking....

I took this from JumboShrimps post earlier on in this thread I was originally going to quote it yet I wanted to add some of my own onto it. I will put my add-ons in brackets.

Are the following signature rules still in force?

• Do not post more than 2 referral links in your signature and make sure it's the regular font size, not balded, not italicized and in the regular blue colour. (since I saw this I changed my link to only being the HTML and I even took out the Green Font that was next to it)
• Do not post banners or any images that links to a referral program. (When I first signed up for Swagbucks I did use a banner then a member kindly told me in PM to get rid of it so I used the HTML which I have now)
• Do NOT start new threads about websites with referral links and post your referral link. If you want to let people know about a website that has referral links post the normal link without your referral code and then ask the next member to use the link in your signature. (I still see this happen...even after the member is told in a post to the thread on the thread itself)
• Do NOT expect everyone to use your referral code because you started a thread. You should have a chain where A refers B then B refers C etc. (I do not expect everyone to use my referral links but it does get rather annoying to see someone posting "please sign up under me I have no referrals at all" or "please if you see anything you like in my signature sign up under me")
• I don't care if the website gives a special prize to a person who refers the most people. Go advertise your referral link somewhere else. (during a time there was posts up about this deal if this person signed up during a certain time they would get 500 points and some how with a bid during that one day I tried as little as possible not to sign on to see people trying to get more friends.)
• Do not argue or fight about whose referral link to use. (ya think people with the least should be able to get first dibs)

These are my own questions...How long in actual fact is a Signature suppose to be? How many colors are you actually allowed to use? Are you allowed to use a picture and two referrals links or two referrals links and 3-4 links to blogs you belong to? Or is 3-4blog links considered referrals because you want just as much traffic to those as you do your referral links that you belong to? What about after your referral links you add that if these people who signed up under you had any questions to please contact you is that considered over the top? And Smiley/emoticons use is it a ploy to get someone to see it more then another each of someones referral links?

I know these are all in revision yet it be nice to know just for ones own sanity.
