Closed Threads

Time for me Ovaltine I think, Geoff.

Wasn't it self -evident!?!

Well, I knew we'd get there eventually.

Call me dense ( You dense sod! ), but I just find it a tad perverse that it's 2014 and you can pay thousands of £s for a metre of cable .......... The term "Rip-Off" automatically springs to my mind.

So has it actually started even before the thread has been started?

[Mr Kipling]

Is that what they call a "Pre-Emptive Strike"?

[The Grand Wazoo]

Guerrilla warfare, I reckon!

Time for bed, I think…

Hi Bev,

Can I ask what the criteria is for threads being closed?

Well, one of the deciding factors is when folk get so pissed off (for whatever justifiable reason) that they decide to leave the forum! Another is when we feel that arguments and/or discussions are becoming circular, with the same points being regurgitated again and again, ad nauseum.

Both were catalysts for why the thread in question was closed. The fact is, every thread will eventually reach its 'sell-by date' - some sooner than others

My question was can I make another post on same?

Of course - and how that one pans out will largely be in the lap of the Gods! More seriously, it's only right that you're allowed to express your thoughts on your new cables.

However, one thing we will be ensuring in future is that no trade member will be allowed to send products out to members for reviewing, with the intention of 'hyping up' that product, in an attempt to generate sales, whether that member ends up buying said product or not. In short, there will be no premeditated promotional selling allowed.

If someone buys some cables (or whatever) from a trader, and through their own volition, with no prompting by the seller, decides to review that product, then that will be allowed, but otherwise reviews will not be permitted. This new rule will be very strictly moderated, and any dealers caught flounting that rule will risk losing their trade membership.

Therefore, traders please take note!!

Furthermore, any member caught doing similar, to receive any form of material gain, will also be subject to punitive action.

'Getting your retaliation in first' as one rugby union player put it.

Good call! I'm assuming this rule applies universally; ie you yourself won't be reviewing on AoS stuff that's been loaned to you by the manufacturer/distributor?
