The rules cover everyone equally or they should do and even more so as you as a moderator should be setting an example to us users.
The fact is the user name you have was used while yoiu were trading for a substancial period so people will still know you by your user name and make that connection irrespective if you are in business or not.
The reason I brought this up is that you are a stickler for the rules and I had to change my user name for the the rules as I quoted.
As I only have my own experience to compare with...
I had my original user name well before I started any business.
My official/recorded business name was never "SECS" !
If "RS Specialist" isnt a trade name but you delt as a specialist in RS cars and parts would I be allowed the user name "ECU Monitor specialist" ?
The answer would certainly be no I am sure
!!
So in conclusion, we both had business with different user names to our businesses yet you say you are allowed to keep yours but I am not.....Why ?
So perhaps if you are allowed to keep yours and I provide absolute proof of my old company name not being SECS, then am I allowed my original user name back ? LOL
As for me being bored....
Please dont make this personal as I have just pointed out a blatent abuse of the rules and I am 110% sure you would do the same to me.
I have posted this in a calm non abusive manor and in the right forum.
Why not just change your user name. ... job done and I am sure people would have more confidence in you as a rule enforcer than they already have !
Hope this explains
Exactly... !
Shut it you tart

if you cast your mind back many many years ago I have had my same user name from the start,when traders where allowed to advertise my company name was advertised in my siggy,as you can see its not there anymore from the day I didnt renew my trade membership
just because I paid to trade on this site didnt mean I had to change my user name to my business name,maybe I should have done,but i didnt see the point as my company details where clear to see in my siggy,as thats what i was paying for
now on the other hand you where trading as SECS whilts I was trading as Ashfield Motorsport Spares and Services,the exact name which is on my business stainonary and banking details,only differebnce is I went LTD a few years ago
so Simon if i was trading on here as RS Speicalists I would have glady changed my user name,but I wasnt and never have traded on this site as RS Specialist
maybe a new rules is in order to have any tarders use only there buisiness name,but the problem is now most who come and go are not registered with the Tax man and are trading on the side to hide who they really are,the old system of paymnet to become a trader was much better as you had to pay with a company cheque which prooved your were ledgit
