Giving away in a non-transparent way is fine by you but not fine by all. Some members want transparency.
I really don't see the relevance. If someone doesn't like something on the internet, that doesn't mean someone else has to change what they're doing.Quote
I have seen newbies get tagged red for simply asking for a loan in the Lending board
I've seen it too, and don't like it. To quote eddie13 again: "protecting idiots". If someone wants to send his money to a Newbie, let them! They'll learn a valuable lesson.Quote
yet there seems to be a different mindset when it comes to giveaways.
Luckily, I might add. Bitcointalk wouldn't be nicer if someone starts tagging Newbies just for offering a giveway.Quote
If a newbie comes along and says he is giving away 10 BTC, will you avoid asking questions (and expect others to not ask questions) purely on the basis you do not want them to jump through hoops just in the event he is genuinely going to give away 10 BTC? If that is your stance then that is for you but not everybody feels that way.
I'd have a lot of questions 
But that shouldn't stop someone from doing what they want.I remember the Newbie who gave away 1 Bitcoin to many users years ago. If I remember correctly he later started asking for money.
Remember:
the forum's mission to be as free as possible.
I'm more and more starting to get theymos' stance (and eddie13's frustration) with this. The freedoms Bitcointalk offers are really rare on the internet. Cherish it!
