Hi there
In the rules on these forums this part is made very clear:-
OcUK are happy to provide the resources of these forums to responsible individuals without charge. They cost a substantial amount of money to maintain and use considerable amounts of bandwith which is paid for exclusively by OcUK. As you know OcUK are in the computer hardware business and therefore the promotion of OcUK's competitors is forbidden. Examples of promotion are :-
Posting links to competitors websites
Posting links to reviews that promote competitors
Quoting the names or contact details of competitors
Offering to provide the names or contact details of competitors
Hinting about product availability at competitors and their pricing
Using the forums to notify a member of intent or actual supply of names or contact details of competitors
Listing competitors names, URL's or e-mail addresses in signatures
Listing competitors names, URL's or e-mail addresses in profile
Posting links to or the mentioning of auction sites
Disguising attempts to do any of the above
Now recently there has been several long term members who know these rules clearly breaking them, those people know who they are and its not acceptable.
Let me make it clear that from this point onwards myself and other DON's are tired of constantly having to edit people's post and find it insulting when in its long term members who think they can push the rules and get away with it. Well no more !
If anybody breaks these rules from now on in this forum we will not be so nice. You will be instantly banned and not allowed back on these forums until banning DON is happy to let you back. Any attempt to re-register under a new name which is also against rules will see both accounts permantly banned.
This rule is not up for negotiation so if you don't like it then don't use these forums.
