Good Morning,
I recently started a facebook page for my knives. It stalled at 62 likes. I would like to do a knife giveaway to promote the page but don't really know to go about it or the rules on doing that here on Bladeforums. If anyone has any advice or can help I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you,
Chris
 
The rules are against it. Here's the rules for the Exchange section on solicitation:

http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/announcement.php?f=699&a=98
SECTION 5 - Miscellaneous -

Solicitation:
Asking a member to click on a link, subscribe to a channel or website, provide feedback, donate money or goods, or “Like” a page on Facebook is considered solicitation. Our members should not be subjected to this type of spam especially under the guise that they may win something. Spark (Site Admin.) does occasionally authorize solicitations for carefully selected causes. Persons seeking such an exemption MUST apply to Spark and MUST wait to receive that authorization before making any such posts.
 
Okay that what I needed to know. I removed the FB link in my signature as well. I didn't know that was against the rules. Sorry.
 
Put it back! :)

You are allowed to link to your Facebook page, just not to a specific contest / solicitation. Spark encourages
Facebook, even Bladeforums page.
