Hey Mr Hat/freestuff4u first piece of advice would be to have a read around the forums, look at the green tips, and maybe think about signing up to a site through a conga, that way you may eventually get 2 greens from people in return. look at the 'i got my free item' section and take comfort from that. beome an active and valued part of the community and you will get access to the trades section, so you can swap referrals (green for green) or pay (green for cash) other people to sign up for you. the best piece of advice i can give is to stick at it, and dont expect it to all happen overnight, it can take a while to get your freebie but its worth it when you do! good luck, Jono (Arctic and Nickjett, i know you're fed up of newbies posting requests and are just having a laugh, but the time it takes to have a go you could just say 'read around the forums'. Just my opinion on how best to deal with things though and not meaning to sound in any way like i am having a go)

was it an actual request though? Maybe its just me but i'm tired of seeing people join and then make the same post expecting people to give them a method that will get them greens within an hour. Shouldnt have to tell people to read around the forums, that should be taken as read. doesnt really matter i suppose

| I know that I'm very new to all this, but I just wanted to put in my two cents about the issue of newbie touting. Now I'm signed up to 3 forums to try and get some greens for the only site I'm signed up for, and immediately after signing up at the other two sites I have been aggressively PM'd by a few people (who also have no feedback) almost demanding I trade with them, and that I go first. I said no, one of us has to have feedback to prevent either of us getting scammed, they say no, I trust you, don't you trust me. I say no, they say, 'I aint no scammer' I say 'With all due, a scammer aint going to admit to it mate' and they get pissy. I say the only way I would ever consider going first on my very first trade was if they had some positive feedback, they no like this. Am I trying to do things the right way, I'm pretty sure they're trying to tout, and then scam me, you're not even meant to do PM trades are you? Isn't that against the whole trading etiquette thing? Any help would be appreciated, as this place seems pretty legit. Thanks Amy

| Trading via PM is against exceem's rules. If you got any PMs of this sort, I'd advise to you to report the person who sent you these to a mod/admin. Trading is only allowed in the trade section, with both traders doing the offer at the same time, as the rules state, regardless of feedback. |

| Yeah, you don't need to worry about eXceem - its about the most legit site to do with freebies on the net. If anyone does PM you (On eXceem or not), asking you to trade with them, forward the message to a mod or admin - they'll take care of it.  EDIT - Darn, beaten by omair...

| No, no PM's on this forum, which is why I think I might be liking this forum better than others (the touting aggressive forums were Gimme4free and Grab4free) and I'm thinking of not bothering with them anymore. I gathered it was against the rules, but they are so insistant. Anyway, I trusted my instincts and said no, but I'm kind alarmed (although I guess I shouldn't be, I'm just naive) that people would do that. Amy

friendly advice such as join a conga or do a trade is fine , the user can decide for them selves which they want to do
