I think we should have a "Giveaways/Contests" section on the Vadim forums.

As in we can post other forums links that do give aways, is this allowed?

Like YouGamers are doing a contest, and we can post in the "Giveaways/Contests" section

And when Vadim do a Giveaways/Contests it can also go in this section.

what do you guys think?

Like Tescoes mistake when Quake Wars came out, RRP was £35 and they had it on there online store for £11.25

That's a good idea but it would have to be compatible with the Forums T & C's. Especially these two prohibited postings:
• Advertising or spamming of any kind.
• Buying and selling of any products of any nature, be it used or new.

Even a give away or mistaken pricing is promotion of another company.

So if we post a give away on an other site we are Advertising them?

Yep, though I don't think its a problem if they are not in direct competition with Vadim. Thing to remember is this is a forum hosted by a commerical organisation, so anything of this ilk must be compatible. I know that the regular forum members would respect that but you need to be careful that this doesn't invite someone to even unwittingly advertise or promote something that can put Vadim at a commercial disadvantage. Of course the forum moderators job is to oversee this but some self goverance by forum members would make their job easier.
I don't want to come across sounding all stern and serious because I'm not, the short answer is I think it is a good idea, but should be exercised with caution.
