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

[Ace Modder]

Because OcUK don't do books?

Don't bob your tongue out at me.


Back-at-ya!

 

[Gibbo]

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

Nothing really, continue as you were....

They should, then amazon would be all like: "lol no linking to OcUK, dey iz a competitor to our books!"

We're now a closer knit society of gamers than we were before.

 

[Martini1991]

Rule 3 needs a reword to;
"Retailers and Etailers that focus on PC hardware"
As *only* denotes none of them.

Lots changed, ultimately resulting in nothing changing. The rules are being re-written more clearly this time though, which is great for us

Also, when you do get around to posting the final, final update of the updated finalised and revised rules may I suggest something similar to this:

OcUK stock product ranges M, N and O
Company A stock product ranges P, Q and R
Company B stock product ranges M, N and O
Company C stock product ranges M, N and P
Company D stock product ranges M, Q and R
Company E stock product ranges M, N, O, P, Q and R

Can name and link: Company A
Can name but not link: Company D and Company E
Can not name or link: Company B and Company C

At no time should you name or link to any company, direct competitor or not, other than OcUK when discussing a Core Product of OcUK.

This way you can give examples of the different scenarios without having to worry about actually listing competitors.

OCUK Competitor Rules:

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

Example,

Quote:
So buy a CD from Amazon = allowed.
Check out the price of Graphics Cards on Amazon = not allowed.

2. Digital Distribution services are ok to talk about.

3. Retailers and Etailers that 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.

Thank you to SkeeterUk for the wording.

rule 3 (first rule 3 not 2nd ) kind of contradicts rule 1, as they also sell hardware, so do you mean exclusivly sell hardware?

 

[Martini1991]

rule 3 (first rule 3 not 2nd ) kind of contradicts rule 1, as they also sell hardware, so do you mean exclusivly sell hardware?

Before it said only, which would mean there were no competitors, hence why I said it should be "focus".

No it doesn't. It's clear.

Amazon can be mentioned till the cows come home, but not in relation to hardware.

No, it's a contradiction, it needs to state "focus".
The rule is clear, the wording is ambiguous.

ok, that makes sense, like the purple shirt bridage also now sell tvs, dvd players, mp3 players............so are not exlusivly now a pc hardware/software anymore.

but removing it completly makes it odd.
