Some people like to put a thread in the gen discussion forum, advertising the fact that they are about to place an order on Amazon.com. When you place an order at amazon, you have a chance to enter emails for people you want to pass on a 10% discount to. Then, if these people in fact buy the product you gave them a discount for, you then earn credit you can spend on Amazon. Essetially, both parties save money.

I've done it twice in the last week, and I apologize if it's seemed like spamming to some people. The second time I did it for my order of Draconomicon; I put my promo in an already started Draconomicon thread instead of starting a new one.

Putting htem in the market place makes some sence; I guess like every other non-General Discussion forum if they're there they get less exposure, and people who make such posts want maximum exposure.

Nah John it isn't spamming maybe making it common practise would benefit everyone.
DVDtalk for example has a forum just to share the lovin'!

Oh, I have seen the thread you speak of, but I guess I did not understand how it worked...

I'm not opposed to the general forum threads - unfortunatley the Marketplace forun just doesn't get a lot of traffic.
