To skeeters_den,

Carly says hi!

The boards are moderated 24/7 in both countries. You're right that there is a lot of content to cover, so there will be times when you will see something first. But we are looking at the content constantly and greatly value the role you play in letting us know (by reporting it) when we've missed something.

Hi Carly :)

Even tho there are rules in place covering signatures, I rarely (OK, never) see this enforced. Are there some things that just aren't bothered with?

[pukmis]

I too would brave Sin City for an advanced course like that!!!
Now that eBay.ca is 5, is there a possibilty of ever seeing
an eBay Live geared towards CANADIANS???

To catseye,

There are rules on signatures, yes, but we want to make sure that people can project their personalities through the black and white of typeface. It's a balance, certainly, but I like it a bit more colourful.

[pukmis]

Heck anything bigger than 5000 people is sinful for me!!!

If there are rules, could a link directly to those rules be placed on any page where signatures can be established?

I just had a look and I don't readily see anything on the page where I created mine. It's a pretty abreviated page so there is plenty of room to included the guidelines.

[catseye*]

When the siggie guidelines were set up, there was a specific max size, and they were supposed to be static. Possibly this has changed, I haven't checked lately.

I find the constant jumping, dancing, wiggling etc to be extremely annoying and distracting, and was glad to see such a guideline. But, I don't see it being enforced.

Why make a rule/guideline then not bother to enforce it? Why not just NOT bother in the first place?

To pukmis,

We love eBay Live, too. Frankly, it costs a lot to host it. It's very valuable but it's expensive. I will tell you, though, that we have a much bigger presence at eBay Live this year. eBay Canada has its own dedicated booth as our fellow eBayers in the States recognize several things: 1. Cross-border trade is a key interest area. 2. eBay Canada is big enough of a marketplace to warrant is own spotlight. 3. The Moose needs a bigger place to wander; don't fence him in!

Gary,Carly, et al, have a fabulous May 24 weekend.
