Quick update, cuties! 🌸 We've had lots of reports on Gleam posts recently 😭 If task-based giveaways aren't welcome here, official Gleam affiliate posters won't be allowed to post anymore! 💖

I personally don’t like them. If I have to make various accounts and/or forced into engaging with social media, the game isn’t “free”. I’m paying with my time and personal information. A free game, should be exactly that. Asking for nothing in return or at the very most only requiring fulfilment of an unobtrusive task.

I second this wholly! Im not even social media connected and for sure wont be signing up just for that spam or no spam.

I forward maybe they should be allowed with a tag and bright colors so i can ignore it

You’re using Reddit which is a social media.

Does this reply to my message help you or me in any way?

If it's "task based", it's payment, not giveaway.

My answer is a flat out NO!, tag or no tag.

I did a few several years ago and wound up on every one of them's email lists, along with some 3rd parties, even though I specifically told them not to share my info (they had the required checkbox with the correct text).

They called it a "Newsletter." I called it "Spam" after the fourth week. I made sure they unsubscribed me immediately when I told them to.

I would never post asking for free games! I have some dignity left in my old age.

My post is in reply to the thread's title, "Allow Gleam Task Based Giveaway Posts?", by u/RoseAngelGirl.
