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

[V_R]

Good end result, but why oh why was it started for in the first place?

 

[fiveub]

Now we can all pile into Spie's hot-tub and oil up for a mass-manhug bonanza!

Only if I can wear my trunks!

Pretty sure gibbo said games are fine on other sites even if ocuk stock it, of course the rule is that if the price is similar to other places then please don't mention other sites that selling it at a few quid difference but if their is a huge difference then it is ok to talk about.

He just updated his post, sounds fair to me.

 

[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.

which bring me back to this :

Yes, but games are fine, we sell less than 10 different games, so am fine with games chat and other items we don't sell.

this is the one thing that confuses me the most. we can discus other companies that sell games, coz thats not OCUKs core business.

yet this rule change is being made in the PC Games section of the forum, which in theory is one of the only computer based subforums this rule wouldnt apply to

So Amazon's Digital Distribution service is not allowed but Steam is?

Also what's happening with the competitors on OcuK's twitter?

 

[Shamikebab]

Can we please now have this stickied in BOTH gaming forums, thank you

 

[Ace Modder]

The point is.... why dont OcUK sell the kindle if it is so popular?

I assume Amazons DD service is allowed, that will be core for games I assume?

 

[SkeeterUK]

So what now needs to happen is condence all the established rules from gibbo spie (me?) lol and edit the sticky rules topic and update teliscopi's post incase it needs doing.

 

[Martini1991]

Because Amazon make it?

 

[CliffyBiro]

What? It IS allowed.

 

[peterattheboro]

What? It IS allowed.

K.

Something to look into perhaps? Other shops sell it.

I have updated the sticky in the rules thread. I can always tweak it to fit, but it should make sense now. Basically it is just common sense as to regards what to mention, and what not to mention.

 

[Wossi]

A quick (possibly retarded question) I assume that we can say, for example, that there special editions of games you sell but we can't mention where from?

 

[kylew]

Because OcUK don't do books?

 

[Gibbo]

What? It IS allowed.

Yes.

 

[Antar Bolaeisk]

I shall be honest with games were not too fussed, but if you do see we sell that game and the price difference is less than a couple of quid then there should be no need to mention elsewhere, if OcUK is hugely out on price then yes, because it could be a mistake on pricing.

You should probably stick Gibbo's little bit about games in there as well.

 

[paradisiac]

so can someone please explain in a brief paragraph, what exactly has changed?
