The issue happened a few years back and the item was removed and the Admin was me and it was not a claim as it did happen. Those that know me around the Community and Marketplace know I am far from a liar as there is nothing for me to gain by lying about anything.

It was only 1 time, it was years ago and was handled appropriately right away. This was not because he was my son as it would have been handled the same no matter what. To be honest, it is completely irrelevant for a couple reasons.

Reason number 1 is because as stated before this was NOT the sole reason for making this change. Free items are to follow the same policies as the Marketplace products because even though they are free, they are still products. We do not allow links to outside Marketplaces on products so they were not supposed to be on Freestuff items either. This was a policy that had fallen beneath the cracks with the old Community Manager and Assistant

Reason number 2 is to protect our members the best as we can and that is to be proactive and try to eliminate the potential of harmful links by not allowing them. I brought u the instance with my son just to let people know that harmful links can happen and those who are newer to this world may not know what to look for or do.

I really do not wish to keep going back and forth regarding this as it is an old policy that was not being enforced as it should have been so it really is not anything new.

We absolutely care about our members and we are always trying to think of new ways and new things to do for our members to show them. We know and understand we can not please everyone as that is humanly impossible however we do try to please as many as we possibly can.

Do we make mistakes? Yes, we do as nobody is perfect and we always try to do whatever we can to make it right when we do.

Warmest Regards,
