[/quote] I think you'll find it is correct actually but no you're right, I am not going to have a discussion about grammar with someone who doesn't know the difference between your and you're anyway...

xilddx Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Honestly, WTF? We really are a nation of f*cking moaners aren't we. What sort of impression are we giving? That someone ever so slightly MIGHT have broken the forum rules and we are very pissed off about that? That Facebook is the devil? That we refuse on principle to enter a competition if it involves social media tactics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm attempting to bottom it out into the absurd - I see myself acting like a buffoon to be only slightly less obnoxious than either a genuine argument about the use of the English language or a study in forum rules.

risingson Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 This descended into chaos quickly. For what its worth, fair enough for the guy simply offering a BASS FORUM the chance to win a bass guitar, the thing we all play. Could someone invite Roger Sadowsky to do a similar setup please?

icastle Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 [quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1337797718' post='1665676'] I have had to turn down voting for some friends' band in a comp exactly because FB required me to give it access to my innermost secrets.

Warwick_Official Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) I'd like to offer an apology to the admins and mods...I just thought it was something cool, and in retrospect should have cleared it with them first. I meant no disrespect, and hope I haven't tarnished the reputation (I think) I'm building here. It won't be repeated again...and hope this post is seen as genuine as I mean it. Thanks guys...

BigRedX Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Warwick Official, IMO the problem is no so much the advertising (lets face it half the people her are plugging their bands and that's not really so different) but the fact that in order to enter you: 1. have to be a Facebook member 2. have to allow access to a Facebook app I would be quite happy to let Warwick have my email address and receive information from them in return for an entry into this competition. What I am not happy about is having to also share my personal information with Facebook. There are various rules about how competitions are run in the UK and one of the ways that companies running competitions avoid some nasty legal requirements is by the "no purchase necessary" clause. I would suggest that this needs to be expanded to include "no website membership necessary". BTW has anyone who has entered checked that the prize is available to us here in the UK? IMO also since competitions on the internet are visible to everyone with a connection they should not be geographically limited unless the page with the competition on it is geographically limited so that only people in the appropriate country can view it in the first place. There is nothing more frustrating to go through the process of filling in an on-line entry form only to find that the competition isn't open to people outside of the US (for instance).

I've got a feeling if someone here won there might be a nasty surprise waiting unless there's some way of bypassing it because it's a prize, I've only imported one thing so I don't know if that'd be special circumstances.

BigRedX Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Depends on where it's being shipped from. So where is it being shipped from? Also why is the competition being run via Facebook and not simply off the Warwick web site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdwardHimself Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 [quote name='Johnston' timestamp='1337857570' post='1666399'] None it's within the EU. [/quote] Can we be sure of that? After all, the user Warwick_Official lists his location as California. In which case you would have to pay about 25% on top of the original price in order to pay for import charges and VAT.

[/quote] Although I'm based in the Northern California Bay Area, the bass will be shipped from Germany. I'm a member of the newly formed social media team, and cover the main English language forums in an effort to avoid language/translation barriers that may have occurred in the past. Shipping will be paid by Warwick, duties/taxes to be covered by the buyer, if applicable. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
