Thanks for the update, I guess it raises a couple of questions, firstly the need for clarity about the rules regarding commercial postings from non sponsors, especially where a poster may be a supplier to retailers who are sponsors. (those rules may already be clear, i havent looked in that detail.) Secondly, if in fact Tim made himself an 'Admin' without the knowledge of the forum operational group, then he can hardly be surprised if they remove that access. Especially if he used that access in order to do something that was not within the rules. I guess my concern is that we have all seen how much Tim has contributed to the forum, so hopefully he is happy to continue that role as a part of the moderator team. I do appreciate the open discussion on such matters, its not easy to do without creating a shit storm and I hope people are at least respectful of the openness and avoid any personal stuff. In life we do have disagreements with our partners, workmates, children, friends etc and the mark of maturity is the ability to focus on the issue and not the person and find a way to move forward constructively.
