Seeing a lot of "coupon based" freebies. Please post them in the Coupon Section, not the freebie section. If you don't get the coupon, you don't get the freebie.
Thank you! :)

I realize that you are a moderator and what you say goes, but I have to disagree. As someone who doesn't look in the coupon section but likes the fpc I enjoy seeing them in the freebie section.
Again I appreciate your opinion but I thought you'd like to hear a different opinion.
Could they be posted in both? I too, really only frequent the Freebies section, so would miss a large amount of the Freebies, if they weren't posted in this section.
i dont visit the coupon section, so I too disagree here. They need to stop being moved. A lot of people are missing out on freebies.
I also do not go to coupons section I beleive that alot of ppl would be missing out on fpc:(Quote:

I agree with every body before me but the first post. I am sorry and with all due respect, but also in my opinion the use of capital letters is not needed and would ease things down in this case. Thanks
I agree.
If you need a coupon to get a freebie, it is BOTH a coupon deal and a freebie. Hence it should be allowed to be posted in this section =)

I am not going to aruge with you since you are the big boss around here, but if they are goinging to be posted in the coupon section can they be put in a special area within the coupon section for fpcs or something so they are easier to find? I personally like them in the freebie section but if they must go in coupon section so be it. I would only visit the coupon section for the fpcs if they were easy to find. But to put this thread on a more positive note THANKS FOR ALL THE WORK YOU MODS DO! I know you guys are working hard!

I too strongly disagree. I dont understand why it's such a debate.? the point of having a freebie and coupon section goes also with common sense. Most people see coupon and thinks xxx amount off a product and not a free product...many people lose out and it's sad, since it's also suppose to be a place to help each other and get the most out of our money.
I also disagree. I don't go in the coupon section, and I don't really want to as it is too vast to find the fpcs in my opinion.
I have to agree with the others (although Im new and I doubt my vote has much merit :-) )
An FPC is still a free item and there have been a few "freebies" that I've ordered thinking it would be the prodcut but it ended up being an FPC.
"Coupon freebies" have always been moved out of here. This is nothing new. Usually when coupons hail freebies, it is indicated in the title or in the weekly major deals thread. If you're hitting "new posts" like most to view threads, there is little chance of missing them.
In my opinion, FPCs should be considered the same as freebies.
Forgive me if this is obvious and I'm just missing it, as I am a new member to the forum, but could you please tell me where the "New Posts" button is that you're referring to? When I come to the site, I just click on Freebies, and assumed that, this is infact where freebies would be posted. That's what seems most logical to me. But it sounds like perhaps I'm missing out on a lot of them.Quote:

Just a suggestion. I work, and try to hit the forum once or twice a day, I like that I can go to this one forum and voila, there is anything new for freebies - FPC or otherwise - and I know this may sound lame as well, but I like the layout of the Freebie Forum better than the coupon forum - the coupon forum, the FPC's get lost cause there are SO MANY COUPONS listed.
I'll end my opinion and go eat cookies by saying this. What the staff/boss..even a mini boss decide, it's what we follow but....Quote:

true, but by letting people post FPC's in the freebies section and leaving them there sends a mix message and false hope. ..off eating cookies.
So, the Chocolate Cheerios, the Asana Yogurt, the Nice n' Easy hair dyes, the Vitamin Water, the Stride Gum and so forth, all these items should not be posted here ever?
I don't understand this statement. Are you postulating that people are upset when they have to go to the store to get their freebie rather than having it delivered directly to them? Because I often see posts about freebies that are being offered in-store in the same Freebies and Samples forum.Quote:

Ryley, if you look at the top of your screen, there is a burgundy band across the top just below where you will see your PMs. On that band is a "New Posts" click-through.
How come fpc postings couldn't be put in both sections? I definitely have more luck stumbling upon them in the freebie section. I understand why they are moved to coupons and think they belong in both!!
I definitely like the idea of starting a 'sticky' of fpc offers in the coupon section if they must all be moved to that section to ease perusal.
Thanks Screamy! Found it.
No problem! I remember being baffled by all the options here when I started. I still have no clue how candies work. LOL.
I'm not trying to be combative, and this is the last I'll say on it. I understand that we should listen to mods, but I can't help but voice my opinion on the fact that it's obvious considering this thread that people do not find it easy to find fpcs in the coupon section and/or consider a "freebie" forum to include fpcs. I just think, that being the case, and the fact that this website was made for the sole purpose to be helpful to couponers, freebie collectors, etc., that perhaps something should be done here. Just my opinion.
No, this is not what i meant. If we are not allowed to post fpcs in the freebie section then they should be moved to the coupon section. By leaving them in the freebie section, it sends mixed signals...ok to post them there and be told at the same time they are not...Quote:

...can we have a vote or something, because it seems like a lot of us would like to have them in both sections....
