• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Just for clarification's sake,

Does this apply to Ebay's "Buy It Now" stuff? If I remember correctly, in the old rules, BIN was a written exception. Just want to make sure the rules haven't changed or I'm not remembering correctly.

Updated. Yes, BIN is allowed in Hot Deals.
 
If you are a twitch streamer and you have giveaways on your stream are you allowed to post that info here in the Freebie section?
 
Is it against the rules to mention there is a referral bonus & to PM for referral link? Is it safe to assume that's ok since it's not "click through"?
