Giveaway: HMG, Darn Tough, ENO, Sawyer, ExoTac, Greenbelly, Hoo-Rag

spam

@jshann why do you think it’s spam? I got it from HMG’s instagram, signed-up for it and shared it so a) I could get more points/chances to win, and b) others in this community would have a chance to get it as well. So, mind explaining exactly what the problem is?

With you getting more entries for yourself instead of telling us who is doing the giveaway perhaps. Seems a bit disingenuous. Sure you tell later, after John.

ten seconds of clicking reveals who’s contest

Edit: Oh I thought your posting that link was to merely get you more entries. Since your provided link benefits you directly I think this violates the last rule given for gear deal postings “On the other hand, if you are reporting on what could be a good deal you have seen somewhere else, not connected in any way to you, that is usually”  Also, a contest is not a deal.

@kronos @jshann didn’t you read my disclaimer in the original post? I stated up-front I would be getting entries for every one of you who used my link to enter. Why are you calling me disingenuous, then?

I didn’t mention who is doing the giveaway because I don’t know. All I know is that HMG announced it on their Instagram feed, but there’s no indication I could find as to who’s actually running it.

Through a cursory search I just found the same ad on Sawyer’s Instagram feed, and it retweeted by ENO’s official Twitter account—but still no indication as to who is actually behind it. Perhaps all of them? Perhaps none?

I found a good deal, came here to share it with the community and increase my chances of winning (which I disclaimed up-front in my original post). And all I get is hostility? WTF?

I didn’t know it was my duty to also do your research for you. Perhaps you’d like me to also chew the meals they’re giving away before you eat them?

How about, if you have doubts about someone’s intentions, you research yourselves, or at the very least ask questions politely, before you sharpen your pitchforks?
