It's real simple, Tank. SWFA owns this forum you're using. It is a private forum, and therefore you have no "right" to say and do whatever you please. Just as you have the right to decide who is and isn't allowed inside your home and how visitors to your home shall behave while they are on your property, SWFA has certain rules you must abide by in exchange for the privilege of using their forum that they pay for and provide for your free use. Just as a police officer writing you a ticket for doing 80 in a 40 mph zone doesn't care what you think the speed limit should be, what you think of the Forum Rules is irrelevant. You agreed to these rules when you registered your account, and your continued use of this free forum is incumbent on you following those rules, and they aren't negotiable. Beyond the fact that the Rules are non-negotiable, entering into someone's "house" and encouraging other visitors to buy from their competitors is just plain disrespectful.
Rule # 3 clearly states:
"Do not advertise other retailers selling the same or similar products as SWFA, this includes posting links to other retailers for products sold by SWFA. SWFA does not provide this forum as a vehicle to redirect customers to our competition."
While we're on the subject, Rule # 6 also states:
"The Optics Talk forum is not to be used as a customer service tool for SWFA customers. Tracking numbers, Order Status, Credit Card issues, etc. need to be directed to our Customer Service Professionals at 972-617-7056 from 8 a.m -5 p.m CDT or via e-mail at swfa@swfa.com."
In other words, if you feel SWFA is failing to honor their 110% price match policy, then you need to call and discuss this with them, not air your grievance on their forum. Chances are, you haven't fully read and understood the conditions for the policy.
You've received helpful advice from the members here. Why are you being disrespectful when moderators are simply pointing out that you must abide by the very rules you agreed to?

Nothing against swfa @ all as i'm in the process of making a scope order now but I know from personal experience they won't stand up to the 110% price match as was stated earlier. It worked out for the best though because I got a much better scope. |
