[quote name='admiralvic']I love how hateful some of these posts are... We have no clue of what gets taken and by whom. Just because an item is used its not always a lurker who got it. There can easily be lazy members who dont want to post, people who got several codes and dont want to look like a hoarder. I mean I only look for avatar items, so if two are posted close together it looks bad to admit to taking both if I did.
I dont see why people expect a thank you for hoarder or getting something for free. I mean its always a nice gesture but the point of these threads are not to give to the "Deserving" but to give to those who want it the most. Who wants it the most? the person who puts in the most effort. Many of the codes you will find in the ps3 thread are based off the Subway promo. Sure its a nice gesture but taking countless prizes from others only to post it in a thread so the first person who remembers about it 2 months later gets it... is a bit off. The same can be said about this thread, most of the codes are just freebies from that german site. Sure its cool you got one and want to give it away, but for the most part it just feeds the thread...
Maybe its me, but giving something away should go to whoever gets it first. Not some crazy notion where we need to define a quality CAG by saying...
My kinect copter prop can only go to a cag who meets the following...
Member for 2 years
Has atleast 20 trades
Has a CML button
Lists their XBLA name
Made over 2,000 posts
Does more than look at the freebies
And finally gave away atleast 4 other items[/QUOTE]
"tl;dr I'm part of the problem."
If people are too lazy to say thank you, they didn't deserve it. If you're scared of looking like a hoarder and don't say anything, that makes you a bad person. Either man up and admit to it, or don't do it and you won't have to feel guilty. FFS....
