****I lied these aren't the rules we're lookin for****

[ThundyCat]

Just to finally clarify the rules.

• 1. No competitor talk!

• 2. A competitor is defined as a company who sells similar hardware/periphal products to OcUK, which Amazon do and as such Amazon are *NOT* allowed, but a site such a Steam is fine as selling games is not our business.

Simples.

I'm going to have a chat with Gibbo guys.

And get this sorted once and for all.

So that is void now?

What is that void?

 

[ThundyCat]

You said it was ok to mention Amazon as long as it was regarding games that aren't sold by OcUK.

Now Amazon talk is banned (yet the Kindle thread remains) and so are other business that are "computer" focused.

Which is funny because Amazon's digital service is in no way competing with the 8 retail PC Games that you stock.

The Amazon comment has been removed from the post.

 

[ThundyCat]

Right, all that is understandable, but you need to put all of that into an easy-to-digest few sentences (like I did ).

If you're happy to word it.

My grammer is rubbish

 

[ThundyCat]

Seems fair and basically, after all that fuss, much the same as it always was

Has been a long day, my head hurts

Mines spinning! I need some caffine

 

[ThundyCat]

if, say a new member or someone that doesnt use the forums much, posts a link, refers to a company or something else that is against this rule. what happens to them? is it an instant ban or are there warnings?

I would edit and warn...unless the continued to break the said rule then I would suspend.

I don't ban people for the fun of it that's for sure.

 

[ThundyCat]

It's their fault for not reading the rules, just make sure them rules are clear, well laid out and sticked so that they don't get lost in traffic.

Nice icon next to the sticky, CRUISE CONTROL for readability, fancy colour and bump to the top so that everyone notices.

I was not very clear with my last post.

With the warning I would give a link to said sticky regarding the rules.

 

[ThundyCat]

And if Spie goes with the "No Amazon" rule, does that mean the Kindle thread gets removed?

The kindle thread has already been removed. Lets see what happens on Wednesday when Gibbo speaks to the Guv.

 

[ThundyCat]

We can't link, that's for sure.

I think it's OK to mention the name of the item and the price, as long as it's not hardware related (that OcUK stocks).

That would be my interpretation of the rules.

Nobody knows.

Those were the old rules.

Spie will be having the final say now.

Indeed.

ROFL

AKA.. the way things were.

Give us a hug gimpypoo's

 

[ThundyCat]

The kindle thread has more than likely been moved to a place where the community cant view till it has been discussed how to proceed. I do not think they would delete a large thread like that untill its all been sorted out.

Correct it has not been deleted.

Edit looks like it's been restored

 

[ThundyCat]

So basically the rule set i wrote just remove the link words and that could be the new stickied rules?

Sounds like a plan mate.

As mentioned by Spie Amazon can be mentioned as long as it does not hint/relate to anything OcUk sell.

So will leave that in your wording.

 

[ThundyCat]

Right I have added SkeeterUK's rules into the new sticky.

Do you guys want anything else added?

"skippi90 is henceforth Consoles Forum overlord."

 

[ThundyCat]

1.) The OP on this thread needs changing.
2.) 5UB's and TC's rule thread need rule 3 changing

sorted rule 3

 

[ThundyCat]

I wept , cheers.
5UB's needs changing too.
And Telescopi's OP needs changing as does this one at present, just to clear ambiguity.

Seems to be sorted.

this is now a black area is it not? we can use their name but not mention their pc related products, apart from games?

Please I beg of you no more.

 

[ThundyCat]

This forum is a complete joke and I won't be buying from Overclockers because I don't like the way we are being treated.

Why not just say no links and no mentioning of retailers who mostly sell PC hardware i.e *buyer, *can, etc.

Then I trust you won't be posting on the forums again? As the forum as you put it "Is a complete joke"

 

[ThundyCat]

It is the same as it was before, if anything, even less restrictive.

About time you got back to your 'farm simulator' is it not?

 

[ThundyCat]

Sounds like a plan...closing thread.

I'm of to find some baby oil.
