And a ROYAL pain in the rear - are we all to wade through the posts under
the lugnet.lego to find the one post we are looking for? If they are talking
about trains, masks, or whatever - then they should be able to post in that
thread just like the rest of us. When we as a group ask as many quesions of
and to lego as we do, then they should be able to directly respond in the
thread the question was asked - that would be an offical post, right? But
more importanly, it will directly belong in that thread - but will not be
allowed to, i just do not see the reasoning behind this.

Exactly - I think most could tell the difference between a lego and personal
post. But, I can not recall offhand (not saying it has never happened) a
LEGO employee posted a purley personal post. They have been really helpfull
up to this point. But they should be able to post anything they like whever
they like.

Yes, because it took everybody by surprise, and a shock - you even kinda
excluded the LEGO employees fronm this convo - you asked for it to be
followed up to a thread you will not allow them to post in, so they had to
move it into a thread where it does not belong at all according to the rules
- but they had no choice. Is somebody going to jump on them for posting in
the wrong thread? I know its happend to them, and to me before - so can they
not reply to this? It directly concerns them, they should be able to answer
in whatever thread the post is in under whatever email they have, they are
following the TOS, so why restrict them?

We are all aware this is a 'fan' website, but like I stated above, when we
as a group ask as many questions as we do, they should be able to directly
respond to the questions asked of them. And you even asked them to post a
link to the bionicle (sp?) lugnet group on the offical lego bionicle (sp?),
then the next day you restrict them - huh?

Maybe you should use different email addys in your posts also - like this
type would use one and your personal posts use a differet, personal email
addy, because its almost the same thing that you are restricting them for.

So if he posted using his Lego addy, then it would be a direct violation of
the TOS, then you should deal with that if the time ever comes.

The difference is.....? Wording?

True, but how would them answering a question asked of them in a certian
thread in that thread break the "sanctity" of that thread?
I may be wrong about this - but it seems to me the fact that LEGO direct has
come here, your toes have really been stepped on, but like I said, I may be
wrong - thats just my take on this entire situation. But I just can not see
any other reason for the actions I have seen from you concerning people with
'lego' in their email addy.

follow-ups to both lugnet.admin.nntp AND lugnet.lego.direct, so the people
we are talking about can be included in the convo.
