I'm not on trial here, nor do I have to prove my 'innocence'. Even so, I checked and the oldest version dropbox archived is 9th Jan 2015. There is an internet archive version
here from October which shows the only description was:
Preorders?
Preorders are a recipe for disaster and puts all the risk on the buyer.
As I said, I added more descriptive text.
You are not on a trial, but when you run a public service like a "Manufacturer Guide" it is fair for everyone to know all the details behind it. Otherwise you can keep the Guide for yourself.
So let me get this straight. You run this Guide since February 2014 and only in December you decided to "
add more descriptive text" surprisingly in the same time where this
descriptive text would make the difference between two top manufacturers, one of them being the one that pays you big $$$.
I need a minute to puke!
What you need is to spend a minute to read what actually happened, you seem to have missed all the facts.
February 2014 - guide started.
July 2014 - Guide changed from single letter ratings to individual criteria and a total numerical score.
September 2014 - Requirement that business model must be able to support preorders and not just the promise of preorders first utilised in September 2014 against BFL. May be earlier instances.
December 2014 - Transitional arrangements implemented on TWO companies. Spondoolies still claims its unfair and used to target them only

.
February 2014 - Spondoolies claims that these arrangements were never noted before December and were created solely for them.
Yup yup yup. And while we're on the subject of money, Spondoolies
paid owes more money than Bitmain ever has.
Next?
