I don't mind if you share things like celebratory coffees for reaching X Tumblr followers (though it would be good form if you'd follow us on Tumblr). The points in the thread about extending our social reach are true but not to the point where I'll spend time chasing down their use.
However, an appeal to your honour: please don't share codes which are clearly part of our advertising initiatives. We're a small business, trying hard to find new players via advertising, and if hundreds of forums readers use a code that we've put out via an ad, it gives us a false positive in our analytics that X ad worked.

Being a bit of an eccentric, I shy away from most forms of social media and rely entirely on these forums for information regarding the Neath. Having a singular place to inform one-self with the latest events would be a huge help to many players.
That feels kind of like it would be against the spirit of these things--they're basically little incentives to interact with FL on social media and spread the word about the game, you know?
On the other hand though, 'spreading the word about the game' - to us, at least - is a bit like preaching to the choir. Not to mention I'm doubtful people will create a Tumblr account specifically for checking if FBG has made a post like that one. (They rarely do.)
I use Tumblr quite a lot, and do follow http://failbettergames.tumblr.com/ , but a week passed by without me having seen that post. I'd never have known it existed without this thread. Heck, I even ended up having to go back through that Tumblr's archive and check that it actually *existed*. :-)
I'm not advocating that we MUST have a thread for this - but Koenig does have a point..
Normally if you ask them (have you asked? they are easy to contact), at least in the past, they request that you link back to the original source rather than paste the reward link directly. For example, if a reward was given out on twitter you would link to the tweet, or if it was given out on tumblr you link to the tumblr post. It's a good way to both share the reward and promote their social media accounts by getting people on the page where they might get curious and have a look around.

I don't remember where, but I believe I saw on the forums, an admin asking not to have access-codes posted here. The reasoning given was that, by spreading the knowledge orthogonally, it made tracking engagement across different media more difficult.
I'm not sure I remember right (it's late where I am) and the policy may have been changed/never really mattered, but I thought I'd mention it.
That, if i'm recalling the same incident, was more because it wasn't an access code for general use- but for sunless sea backers. Something to do with the cladery heart, though other users of the code wouldn't get that item.
In short, if you can't have someone link to its source, you shouldn't use the access code.

Can't remember all the details, but I think it was about a particular access code allowing google accounts before it was made available for the public or something?

Yup, I posted that. :shameful:

I would have preferred Tea, but Coffee is cool, too.
Thank you for the free gift, Failbetter. Here's to another 3000 followers.
