No promotion of OcUK's competitors
...
Posting links to or the mentioning of auction sites

Surely something is not right here, this place is full of references to certain auction sites, and, a particular one is mentioned constantly by direct name.

Could a Don please clarify?

Ta.

Links to eBay are allowed within reason as long as not linked to competitor items.

What like ebay?

I think I'm right in saying if sourcing computer parts. Don't mention anything.

If your looking for a 2nd hand car it's perfectly ok to say ebay or link to ebay.

Same thing applies to places like Amazon iirc, you can mention them for books, cds, etc but no computer stuff

I always thought there was a blanket ban on amazon?

Perhaps this should be more clear in the FAQ then?

Since when weren't we allowed to mention Amazon?

I'm sure you are allowed to openly ridicule certain purple shirted computer stores for their noob clientele, high prices and shoddy customer service ^^.
