leonI knew this would be a busy morning on the board for me.
I have given a lot of thought, dare I say more than almost anyone, to the forum rules, including the ones that are left out. I have chosen to make this, outing of auctions, NOT be a rule on the board. How could I make it a rule? It would never be fair, imho. What would be characterized as a "mis-categorized" item? I would then have to define that idea and many others. I know we have had a few, fairly long threads about this, previously on the board, and don't care to go back and look at them to see what all of my thinking was but I know it was a common thought at the time to not ban this sort of thing. Your bottom paragraph pretty much details the problems with trying to make this a rule. I try my best to not make rules and not change them if at all possible. I think consistency is the key to success and I try my best to adhere to that principle and the rules. As far as legally surpressing trade I am not too worried about that part of the issue....At this time there will be no rule against this type of action and therefore nothing written about it. I am not saying I won't reconsider it if another argument is made that changes my mind, as I do try to be open minded about everything......best regards
