To clarify a few points, PM cant be easily monitor that is correct my statement was originally intended as a warning.
Tony has notbeen banned but bygetting him to re-sign he would have re- read, (I hope) the terms and conditions which he is obviously in breach of.
Speakerplans database/website is quite big now and we get alot of grief from our hosting company if we go over our alotted bandwidth/disc size.
Whilst trying to reduce the size of the speakerplans database we noticed a very high number of PM, 90% of which we regarding selling, and Im afaid almost all Tony PM were regarding
selling of some description.
I have had several complaints about selling on spakerplans and Im afraid Tony was one of the more guilty parties.
I have no gripe with Tony in fact I have alot of respect for the man, so much so that I contacted him recently to see if he wanted a job.
We introduced rules a while back to try and prevent direct selling on speakerplans as it was getting quite bad and the forum was becoming a big buy/sell site. But it looks like all that has happened is that the selling has moved to the PM instead.
As the saying goes you can keep so of the people happy some of the time…
The last thing anybody wants is a forum, that’s fragmented and diluted.
As regards to users/posts being deleted some older PM have been deleted recently (I think if they are more that six months old), nothing else has been touched.
As regarding the accusation of hypocrisy in that Rog openly sells Void on this site, as I have said before, hes not engaged in direct selling, he might tell you what hes working on but that’s it.
I encourage and welcome constructive comment on this matter, to ensure that speakerplans continues as it was intended as a technical information tool and meeting point for like mined enthusiasts of sound.
