Well that's a very Arb name

 

[Swa]

So no change.

 

[Fuzzbox]

Wasting money doing name changes makes no sense.

 

[Thor]

This will fail.

 

[BlackMamba]

Changes

 

[BlackMamba]

This will fail.

Will the name fail or the whole board/ association? How do you judge?

This will fail.

What will fail?

Your comment?

The whole association. They're incompetent and toothless as it is.

The whole association. They're incompetent and toothless as it is.

Explain please? What recent rulings were toothless or incompetent?

Pretty much all of them. And when it comes to authority it's an industry run board, nobody has to abide by their rulings.

that was my first thought when I read the headline.

The move will be backed by founding members the IAB, MASA, and the ACA.

What gives, there are no definitions for these abbreviations. Presumably MASA is the M*********** Association of SA, no clue about the other two.

So by that statement I pretty much claim that all of your posts are rubbish and incompetent too.

 

[InfidelGastro]

The same thing, just with a fresh coat of paint.

You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig...

Pink Lipstick

If you read some of the rulings, that is pretty much spot on - if you are a member you may get a slap on the wrist.
Most of the members admit guilt : Oops won't do it again
Non-members: Can't touch this

 

[dunkyd]

Has the ARB started again ? Time to expose an MTN ad that is total nonsense !!

 

[ponder]

Waste of time & money just like the sahrc, it's become a political vessel.

 

[Wasabee!]

Did you watch Black Mirror, the first episode?

No not wasting money, they are earning a little extra money on the side
