From the tag newsletter:
Banned on ebaY - Intimidation and Censorship increasing
http://forums.ebay.com/[email protected]^[email protected]
TAG has been given a 30 day suspension from posting on the ebaY boards.
We were suspended in a frantic effort by ebaY to silence our leadership
in fighting the forced Checkout program. ebaY's excuse was that we
posted a prohibited link to a new chat board on another site, an act
that not only was never a violation previously, but one that was
violated within the hour of TAG's alleged offense, and passed by
without
sanction, as all other such postings are, unless a user is being
specifically targeted. ebaY was on a hunt for any excuse to squelch the
protest on their site. TAG has heard from reliable inside sources that
though ebaY is downplaying user furor in public, within the walls of
ebaY Inc they are frantic over the reaction to Checkout. We all need
to
keep the pressure on ebaY to make Checkout completely optional. This
is
the nose of the camel in the tent. Fail to stop ebaY now and you will
soon be living with the whole camel.
