Member giveaway

Coming up with a razor to part with isn't always an easy thing to do. A lot of us don't have a good extra to give away or we may have already done so and don't have another. Other times we have to weigh what we might get for it by selling it and have to choose that option. But I was noticing that SRD has gift certificates in $10 denominations. If we decided on a fund to make donations to the monthly giveaway a person could donate a much more reasonable amount and see a new Boker or RA in the monthly a couple times a year. Any interest? I'll commit to the first $20.

I suggest we give away Sharptonn.

Okay,,,, I will give $20.00 tonight

Maybe we should check with our resident contest organizer to be sure he's on board?

We will need an email address to direct the certificates toward.

Donations, giveaways, need to be presented to Mods/Admins for approval. Nice idea though.

From the SRP rules of conduct ;

Initiatives (giveaways, contests, group buys, etc.) policy

All initiatives such as giveaways, contests, group buys, etc. are either organized by SRP staff or in cooperation with SRP staff. They can only be conducted according to the rules and decisions of SRP staff. This does not apply to individual instances such as giving away a razor or a brush, or other minor items.

This policy has been put in place to avoid legal and other consequences for SRP. First and foremost, SRP staff need to take into consideration about what is best for the SRP community and for the SRP's reputation.

If a group buy goes sour and someone takes off with the money, we are left with the aftermath.
If someone were to run a high stakes contest with himself as the sole judge, it has the potential to tear this community apart.
If someone were to organize an activity that involves valuable items with a dodgy ownership status, or which would involve taxes, or which would violate gaming laws, we would be the ones answering questions from men with suits.

As soon as anything needs organizing or becomes more valuable, it needs the written approval of SRP staff. If you intend to run such an initiative contact a Moderator via PM or email.[2]

And if we directed the certificate directly to str8razor, would that not be kosher?

Assuming he would be ok with doing that.

Super idea Dan and I think that that is a wonderful idea and yes I will do it if the admin approves it. Don/Lynn could send me the gift certificates and I could use them to buy some pretty cool razors. I am not sure how they do the certs. Do they mail them or do they send you the cert via email and you just cash it in on the SRD site. If they sent them to the purchaser via email then the purchaser could email them to me and I could use them for a purchase.

Let me bring this thread to the Mod/Admin team and let them kick the idea around. None of us (mods) have the authority to sign off on it AFAIK. I'll bring it up and it may take a day or two for them to come to some sort of conclusion. Not everyone is in the same time zone and what with jobs, families, shaving, they don't always get right on everything.

Edit, I was typing while Bill was posting above, so we'll see what Lynn/Don say.

Bill, yes. The last time I gave a gc, it was via email. You buy thr gc and forward the id number/email to the recipient to use. If the mods approve or not, thank you for taking on the task.
