WP will never can anyone as long as they keep paying.
[/quote]

Wrong. I was fully paid up and then some, but my account was terminated and my ISP blocked because I had the audacity to ask what WP store sellers were getting for their $10/mo that a dozen other sites couldn't offer for $0/mo. At least, I assume that was the reason, as I was never told, although I asked specificially what parts of my post were in violation and why.

I think it's safe to say that as long as a member strokes Ray/Karen's ego, cheers for WP, sings Kumbaya a capella, and pays the $10 every month like a good little scout, that the account will not be terminated. Remember, it's the $10/mo from store sellers Ray/Karen are after, not buyers. I further submit that stores with a high number of listings that also have delinquent accounts are treated with much more "leniency" than stores with few items that are delinguent by the same amount. Reason being, the loss of a few thousand listings on the tote board undermines the breast-beating Ray/Karen do on the WP boards to show the site is "growing." Remember again, cult leaders will skew statistics (e.g. the bogus traffic reports), fake legitimacy (e.g. sellers buying each others' FB), or whatever else it takes to keep up the image and bolster their alpha positions. The bottom line is whether the image and/or financial benefits to Ray/Karen are worth carrying a delinquent account and how far. To my knowledge there is no written criteria outlining the reasons for termination, its procedure, and under what cirsumstances. Nor is there any provision for appeal. It is totally arbitrary -- that's the way dictators (and cult leaders) operate. Democracy is not a word in cult vocabulary.

Repetition, ad infinitum , is redundant and boring.  :Smile

Might be a bit of a stretch but it somewhat reminds me of Thentavius' blog about Priorities. Besides, the real Karma is what we live day in and day out.

Are you guys ready for a good chuckle? Check out the no. 13 WP store -- over 1300 items and only 1 FB from another store seller. Look at item 241162 and be sure to click on the photo on the listing. Don't stop there -- see where it leads and play it through. I don't know how "courteous, respectful, constructive" Ray let this one through and canned another guy's listing because he was selling a book that had the word "Jerk" as part of the title, but I'll let you think about it.

Do it quick, the auction ends in a couple hours!

Manyof us are not registered there, Askling. Nor would I register just to view the forums or the auctions. 8)

Edited to add:

Btw, not intended to offend you, just a statement of fact.
