I've been a forum lurker for awhile. I'm finally looking to buy a scope. I'd like to use the discount if possible.
Thanks.
Hi,
Please understand, we need to verify you're a genuine human & contributing to the forum first for a bit via posts (questions, answers, comments; it doesn't matter so long as it's not worthless fluff just to increase a post count for example). The verification isn't automated, so expect it to take some time.
It's also a means of urging new members to participate, as in the past, we had to manually purge over 17k dormant accounts of those that only signed up to get the code and were never heard from again.
The reason behind all of this, is the code was just changed recently to solve a breach of TEquipment's main rule, which is
don't post it publicly (it was found on a coupon site). And since most members do have to watch their pennies, this is a very big deal to EEVBlog members as well as TEquipment (small margins on the type of stuff most hobbyists buy, so they aren't willing/able to lose 6% of it across the board). Self-policing to keep the code active in a nutshell.
All we ask, is please be patient and follow the participation requirement (don't be afraid to post as we don't allow the hostility/personal attacks you tend to see elsewhere), and someone will distribute the code to you in the very near future.
If you don't get it, re-submit a post requesting the code again after participating for a bit (we're human, and things do get buried/forgotten). If this does happen, please realize it's a mistake, not a snub (a new member =
).
You're patience is appreciated.
