- Solicitation of votes guideline clarification. here
- Clarification of "if this happens deals" (Deals that require a certain event to happen, for example a sporting team win a match, it should be seen as a deal but removed to forums as unobtainable if the requirement of the deal to activate is no achieved in any form) e.g. Free Shirt if England win World Cup.
