Unless I’m seriously misreading Item 8 of the TOS correctly, then Bricklink has the right to revoke Lar’s membership without prior notice. That means that his membership can be yanked because he has too many letters in his name, because he parts his hair on the wrong side, or because he actively engaged in fraud. By accepting the terms of service, Lar accepted this possibility, and he has no stance to dispute it now. If he objects to the TOS, that’s his right of course, but he entered into the contract under the terms of the contract, and Bricklink is now enforcing those terms.

IMO BrickLink *should* pull the membership of any member who, in BrickLink’s opinion, violates the TOS
