Need clarification on "No Retailer Links" rule

Hi,
I don't mean to be difficult or obtuse but I am having trouble wrapping my head around the "No Retailer Links" rule.

Specifically, this means no links to online retailers like the IPR, RPGShop and the like?

Does it include RPGNow, DTRPG, and other e-product retailers?


If the above is the case it will greatly diminish the press releases I can make. I will, of course, abide by the rule but first I wish to clearly understand it.

Thanks for the great site,
Bill

Yup. You can link to your website, though (which will obviously refer people wherever you want to refer them to), and if your product(s) are sold in EN World's store, you can link directly to that if you wish.

Many thanks for the quick reply! I will make note and adjust my press release appropriately. I assume you will keep us up to date on the EnWorld Store?

Thanks again,
Bill

Edit for Clarification: EnWorld Store: the coming of or planning of PDF sales.

I was referring to http://enworld.rpgshop.com/ (the affiliate store). There may be some more exciting announcements later this week, though!

Sorry, yeah, I realized after posting that I was "think-typing" plans for a pdf store.

Exciting times we live in.

Hey, thanks for asking for the clarification. I missed the new sticky COMPLETELY. Morrus, having two stickies that say "New Rules" makes it real easy to ignore both of them thinking I've already seen the "new rule" on this board.

While we are clarifying, obviously we cannot have links to off site pdf vendors, but can we reference them by name?

Just so I don't step on any toes

Another just to clarify question...

I know this is in reference to press releases, but... does this include sig links? As you can see, my sig points to three off store vendors. Let me know if that needs to be changed.

For the moment, I'll say no (not in a press release, news item or sig), although I may come back and revise that at some future date. This doesn't apply to general conversation on the boards, of course, where you can say whatever you like.

Okay, done. The sig links now point to our own website, where links can be found to the various e-retailer sites. I think this is okay Let me know it it isn't.

Yeah, I missed that as well. I see that the announcement is for publishers only. What about those non-publishing folks throughout the site that point to various products when asked about them?

I posted this elsewhere but I'll repost here for consideration:

I think a wiser course of action would be, at the very least, to allow publishers who are paying members to continue to post non-EnWorld links in their press releases and signatures. The incentive for publishers such as myself who have not yet purchased a membership (I don't use EnWorld to email, PM, or the like) just dropped down from "I think about signing up now and then" to absolute zero, and this current policy will likely see a large number of publishers not renewing membership considering the value that EnWorld has for them has dramatically dropped.
