Or is that considered spam? If they are allowed I might make this my main board.

I had a guy try to sell me an extended warranty on a flat screen TV. The gimmick was that he gets a 20% commission off of selling me that warranty. That sucks.

Hmm.... well, in marketing language, a gimmick is a unique or quirky special feature that makes something "stand out" from its contemporaries. However, the special feature is typically thought to be of little relevance or use.

So, I'd say that you posting in italian was a gimmick. Yes.

"Show Me your Junk" was a gimmick. One that worked.
