Is it Just Time to Close Down The General EVGA Forum and Delete the Computer Industry News Section and The General Discussion Sectionand Then Rename The EVGA Forum to the EVGA Support Forum.
At least this way the complaining and whining can stop and not more who is on First or who is Not and so on.

Now if i posted offtopic in your thread, you would be complaining or running to mods to delete my comment. pot meet kettle.
 

You are welcome for the Affiliate Reward by the way.
Also my Post is on Topic although this Thread may be in the wrong location on the Forum.

Thank you everyone for you patience while we reviewed these guidelines.  The guidelines were update.

Can we get some clarification on the requirements please.

The purpose of this section is to inform and encourage discussion about news; not simply linking anything related to the computer industry.

 
How can members judge if another member (mods included) are linking anything related or not. It looks like some members are posting anything related they can find. 
 

 
 

We encourage users to post whatever computer industry news they find interesting. However, do not chain post articles from the same website

 
How many articles from the same website per day would fall under chain posting articles? Is it 3 articles or more?
 
 
I don't believe leaving it up to the moderators to decide is the right way to handle it. That allows them to play favorites, instead of treating everyone the same way.

We also ask that users try to avoid posting more than 10 articles from one source site during a single day, so please try to diversify your sources.

 
What's the point of making that rule/requirement, if your going to raise it from 3 or more to now 10 in the same day.  You guys really took members feedback under consideration on that.

 
People had an issue with members posting 6-8+ articles a day from the same website. You make a requirement about chain linking, moderators say 3 or more articles from the same website is considered chain linking. Now you raise it to 10 articles from a website per day.  
 
Good Job evga, you have destroyed the one good thing from the old requirements for that section. 

 
Well, Sim, you were the one who pushed for a clarification on the rules, after all.  Now you have a number.  I'm sure all members will thank you for your tireless efforts on their behalf.  However, sometimes you should be careful what you wish for.

I can't be the only one that's wondering who came up with the update.
 
You want members to diversify sources, but you raise the amount of articles from ONE website to TEN per day.  It makes me wonder did anyone actually think that through.
 
 
Why not keep it simple like this below.
 
Members are allowed to post up to 3 news stories/articles per day, only exceptions are if it's a news story/article about safety recall or warning. 
1) that would get members to focus on articles they find the most interesting (not just anything related to Computer Industry)
2) We wouldn't have to worry about any member posting 6+ articles from the same tech website a day
3) It would give other members chance to make a news topic
 
Require members to post a quote from the article.
1) That will help to promote a discussion and not look like an advertisement for x tech website
2) If any tech website is dumb enough to threaten evga or a member over a quote from an article being posted, just blacklist that website from being used in that section (problem solved).
 
That seems pretty reasonable in my book.

Such a great job evga did listening to the community, that's if they want to kill off the forums like they have done the gaming community.  

 
Yes, from what I've been told, EVGA listened to the community, and also used some analytics to determine the number.  It was not a random decision.

so at the end of the day rjohnson can continue his never ending spam? Good stuff

Anyone dare to bring up concerns about seeing so many articles from the same tech website. What does evga do about it, for a month they set a secret 3 limit rule, but wouldn't dare add that to the requirement to inform members what is considered chain linking. When a member ask them do, what do they do, they instead raise it to 10 articles from the same website per day, making that a POINTLESS rule/requirement to address members concerns.
 
EVGA analytics to determine the number =  add 3 to the max number of articles anyone has posted in one day in the past year. We now have a useless requirement for the community.

Close the EGC section
Admin completely ignoring personnel attacks
EVGA admin "t-baggin" other players
EVGA admins, again, ignoring the rules and abusing players
 
Not a single Thread have you Created in the Computer Industry News Area and not once in this Thread?
Why are you so upset with what someone else posts here on the forum and not really an active member?
 
They are only Questions to you and nothing more.

Yet you care about the post arctic makes....

I care about yours as well, although I do not care for most of them being they are almost always Negative in Nature.
But I still care.

Obviously you haven't been keeping up with the Computer News section lately at all. Because if you were you'd noticed there has been a lot of diversification in the last 2 months or so with news articles coming from various sources and not just one. 
 
 

 
I have, but whats stopping any member from flooding the section with 6-8 articles from the same tech website again each day, you know the thing members had an issue about in the first place. Only updating members wanted was for them post the secret 3 limit rule that moderators were telling member.  The one good requirement evga added, they raised it to despise one member. The laugh is on evga, it's evga forums that will continue to go downhill.  
 
Is any moderator going to enforce the other new requirement in that section?
 

Computer Industry News posts cannot be a short comment with a link to a news article.  The post MUST include your thoughts on the article/subject as well as summarizing the article posted. It is not sufficient to quote part or portions of an article in lieu of this requirement.

 
Members find news article so interesting, yet they can barely post one original sentence about it.  Me personally, i would take seeing quote from the article over original comment about it.

I think this thread has run it's course. There was an issue brought forth by a member. EVGA looked at the issue. EVGA addressed the issue by updating the requirements so we have a clear understanding of what is and is not allowed. We can all move on now.

They didn't address the issue, they just made it worse, just to despise a member. 
 
EVGA doesn't even make sure it's own moderators are following the new requirements, i already see it being broken by moderators.

Everyone is following the new requirements to include moderators. If you see a news article that doesn't meet the new requirements why haven't you PM'd a mod and mention the violation as well as the article or made a ticket to report it?
