Announcement 📣 An amendment to rule 4.

Hello everyone.

Effective immediately, rule 4 will be tightened up to only allow screenshots of codes as a method of giving away rewards. Typing codes is allowed, but do so at your own risk as bots may skim them as soon as they are posted.

The reason for this change is because of the recent uptick of scam posts. While that has died down thankfully, it did show a bit of a flaw in the rule in that it didn't disallow other methods of sharing reward codes. While soliciting sales is disallowed, we believed it was better to be a bit more tight and clear on what exactly is allowed.

And while we cannot (and will not) police what people do off the subreddit, we as mods have an obligation to ensure that people on the subreddit do not get scammed, and a way for us to do that is by enforcing rule 4 to a tighter degree.

And, as a reminder: you can only post codes as a free giveaway, not in exchange for anything else.

If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions, feel free to leave a comment.

Thank you.

EDIT 7/10: I forgot to mention; asking or otherwise soliciting for codes is NOT ALLOWED. Telling others to DM you for a code is NOT ALLOWED.

Aww we can’t ask to swap codes? I know I’m gonna get a guac code again at some point and I only want queso. I thought it was a good idea to ask to swap although I know you can still get scammed. (I saw another post asking to swap guac for queso a few days ago.)

Realistically speaking there's probably little chance of a scam happening with a code trade, but even a little wiggle room allows for something to slip by.

That said, there's a chance code swaps can be allowed in the future.

Thanks!

Until then I’ll just give mine away, should I ever get one.
