PUBLISHING of REG-KEYS
Rules Specific to the Giveaway Forums
#3 No warez related posts or requesting/supplying activation/registration keys for giveaways.
We all love FREEware and giveaways and bargains and coupons and gifts...
We are fishing for them in every corner of the WWW and share our finds with our friends in the forums .
One of the rules for the GOTD forums and comments site is, not to publish registration keys. Of course not for giveaways either for other commercial programs / games.
The administrator/moderator deletes every post and disables links to sites breaking this rule.
All regulars of this site know and accept this rule, new users will learn it.
This is nothing new and not worth a new topic?
I think it is; as we should think over our attitude.
We are going to become very opportunistic.
In plain language: is it compatible with the rules for the GOTD forums to publish those registration tricks of the Raymond-Blog ?
As far as I have seen, are all these registration specifications not intended for everyone, but only for a certain group of users ( e.g. readers of a magazine ). That means, that magazine has arranged a deal with the developer of a software ( e.g. NOD32 ) for it's readers. Isn't this the similar procedure as the GOTD project?
If you haven't done before, please read the GOTD-about:

For me, dealing with these registration formalities is a clear violation of the rules for the GOTD forums; therefore I have deleted corresponding posts.
