Whoa now. Phil is nice fellow and sells quality material. To immediatly push the probation threat on Phil is premature at best.
As just witnessed about a month ago between POV and divad and the "Trey on the probation list - off the probation" list fiasco... whats going on here is to be handled by the Mods and was obviously settled upon with the Trey situation.
As I've stated before, if the Mods find a problem with any listing or seller and they deem it necessary for action, then let them do their job.
That said, have whatever ammendments made to whatever rules you find necessary to make each and every one of you sleep better at night.
Just please don't try to fry a seller UNTIL ANY NEW RULE IS AMMENDED AND PUT IN PLACE by the powers that be. Until then, just push the little "notify mods" button and let them do what they deem fit.
Phil really doesn't need the hassle right here at Christmas... does he?
If a change to the official rules is made then I'm sure that infringements would be punished going forward but not retroactively used on those who have broken the rules in the past.
Having said that, while I'm sure Phil is a nice guy, it didn't stop him repeatedly breaking the rules of the hosts who allow him and us to list our comics here for free. If the mods did punish him then he completely bought it on himself, Christmas or not.
