Updates to Userguide/Rules
A couple of decent updates to the second post of the Userguide, that makes it worth noting/announcing.
A query about selling Knock Offs had me checking the Userguide to find that it wasn't specifically stated as prohibited, but is technically covered by the Rule that prohibited illegal activity here... which counterfeit (Knock Off) toys are.
It was also noted in the other Rule that referred to Unauthorised items, that Knock Offs could only be referred to in a limited manner, which would imply that selling them here is not acceptable. (which I think most people already assumed from our limited tolerance of them here)
As such, I've reworded Rule 17 and 18, and swapped them around to make more sense in that order. Both Rules now note that the sale of Knock Offs should not be done on this site, and if you need to sell them, it must be done through some other means or site.
This is NOT a change to the ownership of Knock Offs, in that you are free to do whatever you like with them (buy them, own them, sell them), as long this site isn't used to facilitate it.
I just don't want to risk having Hasbro, or any other proprietary owner or license holder, see this site as a source of Knock Offs, and shut us down or prosecute us for it.
After that, I gave each rule a bold title, to make it easier to find something, and easier to read... as it was starting to look like a boring wall of text, which can put off people from even trying to have a read.
So if you have a couple of spare minutes, have a scroll down the second posting of the Userguide (link above), and see if any of the titles attract your eye enough to read.
(or see if there should be anything to add/remove/adjust/change, which you can post here)
