Data scraping and harvesting:

• Using bots to scrape data from websites or social media platforms without permission
• Harvesting personal information, emails, or other private data for spam or sale

Sound a bit harsh, no? No scrapers discussions at all?
GMB data for example?

That is harsh, but none of that was final. I just removed all of that because it makes no sense to have that as a site-wide rule when sellers in the marketplace usually build lists.

In case you couldn't tell, I, uh... got the bulk of the list from somewhere. Let's just leave it at that. I added some of the stuff that was here to it, but I'm sure certain things in the list will seem familiar, if you catch my drift.

I meant to clean this up earlier, but I'm still working on something. I haven't even gotten to the feedback threads today.

It did sound familiar but I'm not one to call this sort of things out publicly.

I think everyone can see what we're going for here, so if anything else in that list seems wrong, definitely let me know

Ahhh I was thinking about a set-up like good Festy's over here - does that count as stolen software Zwie?

As far as i know Festinger Vault only shares GPL licensed plugin/themes. As it states in the GPL License:

"The GPL is a free software license, and therefore it permits people to use and even redistribute the software without being required to pay anyone a fee for doing so. You can charge people a fee to get a copy from you. You can't require people to pay you when they get a copy from someone else." - So, in other words, it would be allowed.

Can we expose dangerous people to the community?
I don't think they are welcomed anywhere.

I'm a danger to myself.
But I also welcome myself.

I'm a danger to myself.

Unauthorised advertising or solicitation, including via DM

Cant we DM people about " Free copy of the Service" once after the sales Thread goes Live.

Ofcourse, not sending affiliate offers or anything outside forum .. I meant DM to selective members we known or few members who eligible for the offers.. Does it considered as unauthorised advertising.. ?

I'm hesitant to do this, kindly confirm this @Zwielicht

That would still be considered unauthorised advertising.

This thread still needs to be cleaned up, but the site guide I made on selling goes over the full rules: https://officeoutlaw.com/threads/wh...-selling-or-advertising-on-office-outlaw.110/

Before I begin, know that advertising in the discussion forums or by sending unsolicited offers via the DM system is prohibited.

Thank you for asking, though.
