Before I start, I jhust want to say that this is nothing personal against the person in question.
......
Rs Specialist still has his trade user name he had while trading and is no longer an official registered trader of PassionFord.
I therfore ask the question .. Why has he been allowed to keep his username when others have had to change them. ?
Its probably because the admin have been too busy etc.. and would hope it isnt a case of the rules being applied unfairly yet again. !
The rules...
Members either known to be, or considered by the web team to be commercial users must be registered as official PassionFord Traders and have paid the current fee to be able to enter any sale advertisements whatsoever on the forum or be registered with a business name. Registration is also required in order to place or reply to wanted adverts.
In addition to this, because a commercial user will build up a level of trust and trade recognition within the community, they will no longer be allowed to trade on PassionFord or retain their commercial user name if they choose to withdraw their commercial user status and site support. This is to stop unscrupulous commercial users registering for a few months and then trading for free on the back of the status built up in that time. The selling ban for ex-commercial users includes offering items for sale in signatures and posts as well as replying to wanted adverts.
Thanks
