Jeff Ok, that is fair - you won't speak to the particulars of the suspension. understandable. but why won't you or anyone at SI address all of the issues raised by Tim, Bob, and a host of others regarding Jenna's blatant violations of the SI rules and using her thread to advertise her paid services. Sure, there are a few folks other than Jenna on that thread who post some thought provoking comments - but anything that she posts is a bunch of hype to try and lure folks into paying $400, $600, $750 or more for her special monthly service. These are the issues Tim and others have tried to raise and have not received a satisfactory answer. How can you allow one member to not only violate the terms of service agreement - but to also falsely hype her results to try to lure people into paying for her service? please address the real question - which is at the heart of Tim's suspension. Perhaps these will help Subject 50847 Subject 50917 Message 15478727 Message 15479549 Message 15480257 And these are just the tip of the iceburg

I will not speak to the particulars of the suspension as I believe that in all cases this is between myself and the member in question. Jeff, I agree with the above as long as the SI community is confident that your standards are applied consistently and fairly; today, the community is not confident. I do have a few questions not related to Tim specifically: 1. Does SI, with or without notice, modify thread headers? 2. If so, on what terms does SI do this? If the header were offensive and violated TOS, I would think the thread would be deleted. 3. Does SI also modify member's posts after the fact ? 4. Again, on what terms would SI do this ? 5. Is there a business relationship between SI and Pristine or Market Gems that SI members should be aware of ? IF there is, I believe this would affect the "sense of community" on SI. I really have no problem with SI or anyone else who is running a business and therefore, attempting to make a profit. I do have concerns about standards not being applied consistently and fairly across this community. Also, with underlying business relationships that if they exist, should be disclosed. Thanks for your attention, if any, to this post. JB
