What a coincidence
^welll it has to be that way to keep it running(the forum)...
im sure a few people have reported evodaves thread, or they will now for not complying with the rules, but moderators look past that...but you if you get caught then you get caught.

Unless you want this site to be a subscription service, who is going to pay for the hardware, software and bandwidth? Whom do you feel should pay the expenses?
Speedlimit...
^we understand that part of things, BUT, there are also other people that have been doing the same thing for more than a year now, and his thread hasnt been taken down, are mods overlooking that thread?...and its pretty obvious cus not even accolade has that many feedbacks...

At this point, if Evodave is allowed to continue, I would just accept that rules don't apply and this site is unfair.
I know Dave and he's a great guy, but as it has been said, rules are rules. Right?

i think evodave even madea thread for himself in OT when he hit 100 buyer rating a couple of weeks ago. I know there are mods that troll in OT.....doubt it hasnt been seen.
On a side note: To anyone who gets their For Sale thread closed because of this, forgive me as it was not my intention. I braught up a point hoping it would open some eyes(which it did), not hoping it would get other people's thread shut down.
I just want this place to be fair and without double standards.

The moderators have been discussing unregistered vendors for awhile and how to handle the numerous small "shops" and entrepreneurs. It is difficult to balance the needs of the community with the commercial rights of paying vendors and the easiest solution is to not allow any unregistered businesses. The job of determining who is commercial and who is not is difficult. This discussion emphasizes the necessity of being consistent and we are moving in that direction. Not as fast as some of you would like (if you Ox is being gored), but we will get there. Thanks. Thread closed.
