Interesting topic. First of all, i must point out that 90% of the questions raised on this topic can be answerd by a simple review of the site rules up there at the top of the page. Probably the most interesting quote from
the rules to answer a lot of questions at once would be this:
That is the same stance that the Autotrader take, a website/company that know a little more than most of you lot about selling cars on the internet. I am happy with our 4 car rule and it will not be changed. I also note that you get 4 cars for £10. They charge a lot more PER CAR.
As for
"When does my year start?" Well surely, since your gold membership is for one year the answer is obviously
"When you buy the gold membership?" 
Many people are asking "
How much are trade fees?" Again, just use the relevant links and you will be able to ask the correct people in the correct manner.
It really is a dissapointing drain of my time and recources when people refuse to help themselves by looking for something thats always been there.
Link: Before anyone suggest that link is hard to find, please consider this: Every gold member on here seems to have found it to enable them to join dont they?
Ok, that brings me neatly to wether or not Pete has broken the rules.
Sadly, since he has mentioned stock levels and pricing, i would say that he has, sorry Pete. In Petes Defence, the rule about Ex Traders trading on PF was deleted by the "PF Hacker" as Pete says above, and we have had to run a temporary backup of teh ruels from before thgey were implemented, so technically a trader has some leeway, but i will close that gap again today just so that everyone is clear.
Moving on: I see we have now descended into arguing about Pete's username. If anyone can show me where Pete advertises his business as Rs Specialists then i will gladly as him to change his username as i do with all traders who stop trading. The Business cheque Pete paid with certainly didnt say Rs Specialists on it so by the letter of the rules he has done nothing wrong there.
Finally, If anyone wants to help moderate the place of bedrrom traders etc, feel free to stand up and be counted. It seems everyone as usual is happy to complain, but not happy to help. Since you all know who these bedroom traders are, why on earth arent you clicking the little red and white triangle on teh bottom left of every post and reporting it? Its not hard, takes under a minute of your time and directs the webteam straight to the offender. Help ius to help you.
