From Free Stuff Wiki @ A4F
Anything4Free.com (also known as A4F) is one of the largest internet Freebie communities, which has a fully functioning website along with a thriving forum.

What makes A4F different from other sites?
The Administrative team wants to make everyone feel welcome. We ask that our users be respectful and polite to other users of the forum and discourage rude or obnoxious behavior. Also, offensive, illegal, or mature-themed material is not allowed.
Does A4F have ties with site owners?
Site owners may be members of A4F, but they are not tied to A4F. Their Grade class is based only on their performance. Many site owners, however, choose to communicate to their members through Anything4Free. Furthermore, A4F does not allow site owners to join the Moderating Team, as this is seen as a conflict of interest.
Why do members get suspended and/or banned?
A member may get suspended and/or banned for having more than 1 account on an IP address, too many warnings, offer fraud, spamming, scamming, TR boosting, hacking, racism, using a proxy, and disrespecting the board rules.
Can a banned user come back once they are banned?
Only if they have been unbanned by an Administrator. A banned user may not create another account.
Can another person in my household have an account on A4F?
Another person in your household may only have an account if you have let an Administrator or Moderator know immediately. Otherwise, both accounts will be banned.
How can I make and change my signature? How big can it be?

How can I change my member title?
To edit your member title you must have 500 posts. To change it, go to My Controls > Edit Profile Information, and enter your custom title on the "Custom member title" line.
What is an avatar?
An avatar is a small image (usually no larger than 100x100 pixels) that displays under your name on the forums and in your personal profile.
How do I get an avatar?
Go into My Controls > Edit Avatar Settings, then pick an avatar or choose your own picture and then update avatar.
Is there a place to go to check out different offers?
Yes, use our Rate the offers system to find feedback for offers or navigate to the offers page of the A4F Wiki.
What does BUMP mean?
By default, new topics appear at the top of the list in a forum. "BUMPING" a topic brings it back up to the top of the list for better visibility. It comes from the acronym, "Bring Up My Post".
