I'd recommend ebay.
I don't mind if it's a one-time, one item thing, if said member conducts any such auctioning and sale off the forum. Post the info here, but please use personal e-mail, not public threads or GateWorld PMs, for the rest.
What I'd rather not see is people using GW to start a home business by selling multiples of an item and/or many items on an ongoing basis -- especially if it's unlicensed Stargate goodies.

Originally posted by Willow'sCatI know you are all very busy and it does rely on the poster to edit their own sigs. But how long do user's have to edit (for size) or remove (due to spoilers) a sig before you will have another little talk with them? I have just noticed that some sigs are still being used, and also a couple were removed but only to be replaced with equally spoilery/large sigs.
Another thing, do spoiler rules regarding sigs apply equally to other shows, like LOST or Dr Who? I thought yes.
On the spoilers...
Spoiler:Seasons 10/3 have crossovers, now how much can people show in their sigs? You know they will want to use the pics, rules or not. For example there are a few McKay/Mitchell images already out, now can they be used in sigs... I am thinking not, but it would be cool if it was yes!
I mean if say you are the type of person who may wish to *cough* slash them *cough* or make say a thread about slashing them *cough* could you use the pics openly in the thread? Would you need to use a big SPOILER warning with flashing lights in the title first? Not that I want to do this.
Also it wasn't me was it we did have a couple of times this week were GW was unavailable? Is this to do with the changes still? Is this going to be an on going thing when lots of people try and access the forum after episodes air? Sorry I know Greg and the team can only do so much, I also noticed when it did go bye bye the alpha site didn't come up (the page with the link). Are we still using the alpha site?

Spoilers in Signature : Stargate related - if the show/season has not run in syndication in the USA it must be under a spoiler tag...Pictures have a bit more lee-way..in that if the picture gives away any and I stress ANY plot point it cannot be used if it is from an unsyndicated show.
Other Shows - If the Season has yet to air/is running or has just ended in the USA it must be under spoiler tags. pictures have the same criteria as SG related - if ANY plot point is given away it MUST be under a spoiler tag
How long do we allow people to fix their signatures - we try to give people a few days but sometimes we do get caught up in something else that is going on in the forum and people get more time then others. So if you see a signature that has NOT been changed please report it again and if you see one that has been changed only to come back with something just as rule breaking please report that as well
In regards to your last question - some of us have experienced the new Forum Alpha site this week due to upgrades and I also personally got nothing from both the Forum and the Main for a day, not even the Alpha site. If I am not mistaken Greg is done with the upgrades so if you have more problems please bring them to our attention.Life is short, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And live out loud with no regrets..

But we could probably create special characters using ASCII codes, but someone would need to compile a list of what's needed for me.
So far, I think the only problem I have (with the French letters) is the a with a grave accent. It is annoying but I can live with it, so no need to hurry.Flo ~ FBI - Proud Shep Thunker - Proud member of the Ship Ship Hooray Special Ops Team !

Mods, quick question, would it be OK for me to make a signature banner that had two screencaps from season 10 episode 1 (they're of Emerson and Sam standing on the Odyssey but there's no one else in them and I wouldn't say they reveal any plot details as they're close-ups of their faces) or is that not allowed? Your advice, as always, is much appreciated!
Just read the sig advice, I think it's OK but please let me know if it's not.
Thanks again!Last edited by AmberLM; 21 July 2006, 03:16 AM.Sam and Jack... Still the best romance on TV in years!

OK mods so someone has been posting parts of flesh and blood *mod snip*, I was wondering would I be allowed to mention the to everyone in the Australian threads so they can watch it since we don't get it here, and since it's not downloading or anything?Last edited by kiwigater; 21 July 2006, 03:35 AM.

No, absolutely not (is the short, sweet answer ).
Whether it's clips or entire episodes, ANYTHING posted on the internet (unless from an official MGM sources, such as previews on the MGM site etc) violates copyright laws, and as such is not allowed to be promoted on the site.
As we've explained repeatedly, this rule is not because we're horrible mean people, but because firstly, we do not condone or support (explicitly or implicitly) anyone breaking the law, and second, we do not want to become a target for the MPAA and be shut down
Any posts indicating (however subtly) where episodes or clips can be dl-ed will be immediately deleted. Repeated posting of such information will result in permanent banning of that member.
I hope that explains things, and if in doubt, please PM a moderator

this is the last public post on this topic
As to the Weir and the IOA thread. It is back out and my decision is posted in the thread.
If you have an issue with it, feel free to pm me or e-mail me. Any further discussion on this topic will not take place publically. It will not take place in this thread, or the weir thread since it is off topic in both of them.
I will say that the decision that was made was made by a concensus among the mods and is the final decision on the topic.

Not to mention the ads that have been posted everywhere on GW they must also contain copyright material, but they too have been uploaded to Youtube and the like, and the extras have also found there way onto GW threads as links.
So what is the ruling on them?
Also TameFarrar didn't answer my question on the slash threadSpoiler:for McKay/Mitchell. If I want to post the caps openly should I have a spoiler warning in the title? *I don't know if I am making it yet but I might*

Originally posted by Willow'sCatWhere does that leave fan vids? Surely they must by their very nature break copyright rules? Don't get me wrong the last thing I want is the removal of them but no-one to my knowledge has the rights to those clips other then Sony/MGM/SciFi channel?
Entire episodes, or one scene from an episode, that isn't being used in that way is a big no-no.
