I love this site but lately I have an issue and wanted to bring it up to hear some opinions.
Lately a few individuals have been posting freeware apps in the software section. This isn't a major problem yet but if it isn't dealt with I'm sure it will get out of hand quickly. Now I'm all for a good piece of software, free, trial or warez, but I think there needs to be another section for freeware altogether. There should be announcements, software, games, freeware, movies, ebooks and general - otherwise it really waters down the retail/commercial software section.
At the very least every freeware app posted as a release needs to have (freeware) in the title so I don't have to click it to find out. If an app is readily available free I'd much rather go get it from the developer's site than somebody else's rapidshare upload.
Also, I think the reward for freeware should be practically nothing (a few warez $ at most), otherwise we're going to see a bajillion new users flooding the board with every piece of crapware that floats on down the pike.
I don't go to a freeware site to download warez and I don't want to have to wade through a slough of freeware progams to download "appz" here, know what I mean?
What are some other opinions?

It's always darkest before the dawn.... so if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper that's the time to do it.
