Been reading the discussion over at Reddit, there's some tools on there.....one guy says sell it on a 24hr auction (not a.bad idea)...then someone suggests AMD will sue.him for breaking the NDA, don't these only exist between manufacturer and.seller. Anyhow I wouldn't think AMD would want.too much exposure from this.....oops too late guys

Which discussions are these?

Once on reddit, everyone knows. Wonder if AMD will do anything to the etailer.

Probably move them down a tier so they don't get new releases if they're that careless with them.

Well you won't get it from Primouf, Gibbo has done a 'measles' job on him for the AMD mafia

Erk. I'm hoping it was through a mutual agreement...

Oh my gosh...didn't notice that.

Now I feel really bad for jinxing it...

Oh dear - maybe AMD have had a word with OCUK about allowing the benchmarks on their forums?

Mei · 31 Oct 2013 at 15:26

they wernt the 1st 290 benchmarks on here tho??...
are we allowed to ask why he was suspended or is that against the rules to lol

And to make it worse, it was a lot of us (I didn't) who encouraged him to run those benches...

just got the hotline, they finally understood the Please fully star all swear words up and are paying the shippement back and refund, i didn't ask for more i ain't that kind of guy.

tonight i will try some more benchmarks in 3Dmark extreme and see if i can OC it abit more

Yeah no conspiracy going on here, guy just never read the forum rules.

Scougar · 31 Oct 2013 at 15:28

Drama, drama, drama! lol

It's just a suspension, nothing major.

no hidden agenda there...wonder if his suspension runs until the NDA is up

elmuzzy66. · 31 Oct 2013 at 15:32

So can we call this poofgate?

That is poor, hopefully it's a mutual thing and he walks away with a free card

Martini1991 · 31 Oct 2013 at 15:33

Suspended for one instance of that though is OTT.

Mei · 31 Oct 2013 at 15:34

is swearing really deserving of a insta suspend account tho, thats what i was suspended for last time i think, when you chat other places online then type here its a easy mistake to make, duno seems harsh

he seemed like a nice guy to me

There was one time I sort of said the F-word in a non offensive but humor context, and I still got sent on holiday (for a week I think) by mod...

Exactly - There is no cover up or any such other rubbish. He just unfortuantely broke the rules.
