I felt 50 bucks plus shipping was more than a fair deal, and would feel like a major cheap ass trying to screw Marks out of another 20 bucks, on an already amazing deal.
Amazon has it right with lightning deals and deals of the week. It only lets one item be delivered to one address on one credit card. They pretty much neutered the deal site and RFD losers from ruining these deals for everyone.

Well now you're changing the argument from using 3 coupon codes on one order to using multiple emails to order "a basement full of parkas", but sure I'll bite.
First, they are discounting an item 80%, so discounting another 8% of the list price using coupon codes is hardly going to break them. The whole idea of Black Friday sales is to get you to order the extra stuff, they have already accepted a break even or a loss on certain items with the hope you buy additional merchandise.
Secondly, if Mark's system allows you to place 50 orders with different email address all to the same mailing address then they are asking to be scammed. It doesn't make it right, I wouldn't do it, but it's going to happen. I don't leave my keys in the ignition for this reason, it's wrong to steal a car and I wouldn't do it, but I know some loser will without a second thought.
To be honest I agree with you, people shouldn't be scammers and place a bunch of orders with different email addresses. But to say that we're all some kind of scum for placing my one order of a jacket and a couple of $20 shirts, and getting an additional 8% off using coupon codes that Mark's openly puts out there is ridiculous.
And it seems I've gotten involved in a argument I don't really care that much about... I still haven't received an email one way or the other and honestly if I don't get my $200 off jacket I'm not going to be fuming mad. I have other coats, it isn't that big of a deal. It's just frustrating for me, and others, that in this day and age of online shopping that a big company like Mark's can have a huge online sale without proper inventory management.
