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

[Mr Krugga]

Hi there

Right this is causing a few internal issues, as such I am going to consult with the oracle, aka Spie and come back with a definite answer by Wednesday this week to clear this up once and for all.

In the meantime this section shall be moderated by the DON's who moderate this section only along the lines of how they have always moderated it.

LOL, so it is going to Spie after all.

Nath should have called the red line at the time.

So the rules as i understand them now are as follows.

OCUK Competitor Rules:

1. Amazon and places like these etailers/retailers are fine to talk about and link to just please do *NOT* discuss our core business products or link to them such as motherboards, cpus, mice etc.

2. Digital Distribution services are ok to talk and link to.

3. Retailers and Etailers that only do pc hardware are *NOT* to be discussed or linked to.

3. Anyone caught promoting pc hardware on these forums will face warnings and if continued persistence entails then a possible ban will ensue.

Is that right so far Gibbo?

Does eBay count as competitor? Can we link to products on there y/n?

 

[Martini1991]

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

 

[aaron333]

But how are you contradicting Gibbo, moments after he posts? Are you not corresponding with him and reading his posts? It really doesn't good look with that happening.

I don't see what your problem with him is. He's made one post at the same time as Gibbo, yes contradicting and then quoted one post/edited one post that was made before Gibbo's later post.

 

[gizmoy2k]

We now need Spie to clarify.

This is the best way to go I think, once word has come from the top it should be all over, no questions asked thats it end of

Anyone who doesnt like what is decided from there on, deal with it and move on

One would think it would.

Because his post thread with a new rule, disappear on Saturday caused this.

So change number 6(?)

Back to Thursday's rules...

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

 

[Mr Krugga]

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).

 

[K1LLSW1TCH]

The rule should just be no linking to laptops, desktops or hardware. Those are the only areas OcUK are really "competitive" in anyway.

Nobody knows.

Those were the old rules.

Spie will be having the final say now.

But that would cause such a storm that it's insane, that would bring in SO MANY QUESTIONS.

Lots of places sell more than one product, the same type of products as OCUK, like Amazon, it'd just be one massive contradiction, but it's only the PC Game section hit with it seemingly.

Unless I'm blind, it's already gone.

Fair enough then, but it all kicked off for similar reasons. I haven't got a problem with Ace Modder as such, I'm personally just fed up of contradictions between moderators, it makes things like this happen, and I would have thought it'd be something that was spoken about before posted considering the fuss it's caused.

 

[Martini1991]

Should we now expect a deletion of the word kindle from the forum, it's associated with Amazon after all.

ROFL

AKA.. the way things were.

That's not what I wanted to see happen.

And they should stay that way too. It helped both the PC Games and Console sections immensely.
