So the Kindle thread is going to be deleted now, yes?

No that is okay. It only has 57k+ views and a direct link to the store.

Explain kindle thread?

The Kindle is made by the same competitor as here. And the name of the competitor is in the thread title. And there are direct links to the site.

Yep, best not to push it too much. There are some very childish individuals here this evening. I put it down to being the end of a long week

So, it's not actually about posting competitors - just the words you use.

We all know exactly who you mean - so why not just say it.

Bizarre.

Gaming on a PC is dead don't you get the hint? your all getting excited about the 'rebellion' and who's going to be banned, meanwhile OC is impatiently holding the door open so you can leave!

Yes but they're a competitor! Simply mentioning their name reduces revenue by 10%!

I've tried to get clarification from him before on other matters, if he doesn't like what you're saying, I found that he just bans you instead of a mature conversation.

But its linked and named in the Kindle thread?

This is why the rule simply doesn't work.

So not what we were told 10 months ago by maccy that we could talk about any game retailer but not link?

But the thing i'm thinking of is in a few weeks these threads will be gone then in october the service will go live and everyone who missed these threads will be posting links to it and discussing it and then get punished for something they didn't know about.

Especially as others will be posting about other DD service s and other retail services so just one being banned will catch people out, unlike the other competitor rules which are stated and cover everything.

Just pointing out the obvious duality. We can't talk about <competitor> here, but they can talk about <competitor> there.

Are we allowed to say "egay" ? Serious question. Or is ebay allowed?
What about "Purple World"?

Purple Shirt retailers isn't allowed as that is hinting.

Yet Rainforest is allowed and you all knew what every one of them meant. Non working rules are non working.

Few weeks? Optimistic.

I bet they'll all have been brushed under the carpet by morning.
