Hey all,
Over the past few days and possibly weeks the Bricklink administration has been
suspending stores for seemingly minor violations with the TOS of the Bricklink
site. So far Larry p. has been suspended and now completely removed from the
bricklink site. For more information please see this thread on Bricklink:
http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=63820

I have also found that one of my favorite stores:  Anne's Virtual Lego Shop has
also been suspended.

Could someone please explain this insanity to me?

(...) I think if he violated the TOS, he deserves what he received. No one is above the law/TOS. I have seen his B/L shop before, and was un-impressed by some of the things put in the descriptions. If someone is that busy, maybe they shouldn't run a (...) (20 years ago, 23-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

This thread seems to have engendered a lot of discussion. Not all of it is for the long term good of the community, I fear, which is regrettable. I'm hopeful that this post might slow some of it down. I have asked Dan privately to be reinstated. (...)
