You seem to miss the point that Giveaway is also not about freeware, only payware. Where is the large difference kendall?

I don't know or understand your big issue with Giveaway, but you obviously have major issues with it. We will have to agree to disagree; but there is a large difference between Giveaway and a discount site like Bitsdujour. Again, I'm not saying one is better than the other.
I am saying that Giveaway is doing just that....giving away commercial software for free for a 24 hour period. It is freeware at that point. Is it good commercial software? Only the user or downloader can determine that. But, they offer usually a free license for one year. That is quite different from a discount site that offers software at a discounted price. That is not freeware.
However, none of this is even the point. The point is that some people here have been assigned the task and responsibility of being moderators or forum administrators. We have guidelines and rules to follow and enforce. You are certainly welcome to disagree with us or even our rules. However, we are volunteers....volunteering our time to try to offer freeware solutions to our audience. We do our best. We are certainly not perfect. You are certainly entitled to your opinion and you are free to express that opinion (within certain guidelines of course). We seldom edit people's opinions. However, there are of course certain things that we will edit. That is our role...that is our responsibility.
