Forum members need some fun too, why not ?
Is this for the lack of reasonable and good discussion to post, it's like taking away what the forum and its members value, you have to earn and work for your merits, it's like handing down memberships and merits to spammers.
Just imagine one member ranks up because of a giveaway do you think he deserves respect compared to those who worked for it, I have seen some ridiculous ideas but this is the worst if not one.
