Ya think Slip likes playing "Plug Police" ?? That smart a$$ comment is exactly, what makes the hair stand up on peoples knecks . Why you gotta get in peoples faces ... like a skeeeta .. I have nothing against you sporty ..I complement your work ,, In a short time your paints the nuts ,, I do scratch my head when you ask how to weight a spook . A plug that is tough to make wrong IMO.. Why you always want to go this way ? Time heals all wounds .. Stop jabbing the poker in there ..

I agree with everything Tagger said....don't throw gasoline on the flames!

Wait till Slip rides in!

it's really simple, if you sell plugs (whether through the site or not, even if its only on ebay), then you're a commericial builder and posting pictures of your plugs here is free advertising and gets your name out to the exact market that your targeting. is that really hard to figure out? its not whether or not you sell through the site, its whether or not you sell at all.

look at the list of sponsors to the site, many of them started out as hobbiest, then went commercial and then stopped posting pictures until they became sponsors (bigfish, afterhours, bernzy, etc). what makes you any different.

selling plugs that you are still clearly trying to figure out how to make right, that's a different story. john's pretty picky about who he lets become sponsors, which is great.

Sporty -why is it that there is always a commotion about you here? I also "hear" of similar things over on the other site but I don't go there so I am not very concerned with it. So there always seems to be sharks in the water around you. There are often concerns about you selling but then you chime in saying you are just trying to help people. Yet your threads are pretty much "Check out my Joey" or the frog, or the this or that.

Slipknot has been VERY lenient about you and believe it or not has gone to bat for you previously. The LAST thing I'm going to accept is you taking a shot at Slip. He is probably the fairest person here and simply does not deserve this crap.

Personally I do not feel all warm and fuzzy about your intentions here either. The smell test indicates you are trying to sell plugs or at least get free advertising - on a side note, this site isn't about advertising as for various reasons I only sign up 20% of the advertisers requesting. You SAY that you are only trying to help out but I see little help, mostly just me, me, me, me.

So at this point I am going to remove your posting privileges for a few months. I'm not happy to do this but I feel it is necessary as I have a lot of people - not sponsors but S-B regulars - telling me that you are up to no good here and I see little evidence of "help" that would lead me to think otherwise... Maybe in the spring we can revisit this but I feel as you are trying to take advantage of things here and not trying to "help" as you say. I will put this in an email as well.
