Well, in fact there is better/any support for those who paidSource of this quote)
Isn't that post in the V3Arcade thread flouting the board rules:
Quote:
2) Paid hack, scripts or commercial addons can be discussed in vbulletin.org without being promoted. However, authors of the commercial hack or addon cannot start threads discussing their own products or promote it in anyway in vb.org posts. If a commercial hack discussion thread turns into a promotional thread, it will be closed or deleted. If authors are found using another account or encouraging a friend account to circumvent this rule, all accounts involved will be banned.
I wonder what would happen if any other hack author tried to charge $60 for a new bug fixed version of their hack? Anyway, back to the HotM for December. I wonder which hack will win?
Thing is this poll now has no winner, there is no HotM for December 2005. No one can call a win by default a real win especially when the other main competitor was taken out for an unwritten rule. Its as much a loss by whoever wins as the disqualified hack.
I voted prior to any PM, I based my decision on the hacks I was using and those installed hacks have been down to my personal choice. MrZ did not even know if I had switched to v3arcade, this was indeed a possibility.
I dont consider a 17 user PM to developers and testers of a product, a link to a poll with "have you voted yet ?" as any kind of rule breaking as ther was no mention of what hack to vote for. If in the past other polls have had items removed for the exact same broken rule, then it was high time a set of rules was in place aftre the second occurance. The decision in this is bad imo. Oh well no point coming back to this thread now but to read further.
From everyone's coments here, would vb.org consider calling December HotM a dead issue with no winner? If so, would you be willing to allow all entries another run in January?
I have not heard any major objections, if any at all of letting IPBProArcade back into this. I swear i saw a comment mentioning that v3Arcade made note of this in an update email. Perhaps I am mistaken and if so my apoligies.
Seeing as there are no "written" rules, these "rules" are nothing more then he said/she said Although not fair to previous disqualified particpants, this is a pretty contraverseal issue and untill IPBProArcade has been reinstated the rants are just going to conintue. I say let IPB back in this and reset the polls.
