Okay the title is a bit weird but that’s because of the character limit ^^; 

Actual title: The problem with none freebies in freebie tags, forums, categories etc. 

I mean this one is pretty obvious and very infuriating for many people! But this is happening more and more often.

Freebie forums and tags are not for promoting your sales!!! There are already forums and tags for that!

I understand that it can be frustrating and that a lot of people might not see your sales post etc… but pls STOP. People searching the freebie tag search through that tag for a reason. If people want to buy something they will look through other tags/forums!

I honestly find this so annoying! And this is not because I am ‘cheap’.

Also like I mentioned in my DTA bulletin, offers (both art and characters) do not count as free either!!! (Unless it’s a freebie trade) 

Oh and something similar to this is people promoting purges but they justify using the freebie tags/forums because they also have a couple freebies in that purge (usually only a few freebies) 

You could have just made a separate post about the freebies! 

I have seen people promote sales through freebie posts that didn’t annoy me as much. Usually they add this as a little extra at the bottom for people who are interested and you can see that the post is genuinely about the freebies.
However you have people who do the opposite, they have a few freebies (usually like 2-5 freebies) and then they promote their huge sale! Clearly this post is a promotion for your sale and not for your freebies! People notice this!!! 

I will be talking about free obo posts in a different bulletin since I think that’s a topic on its own
