The terms ask for a "worldwide, royalty-free and non-exclusive license(s)."

I can't see why they would have disabled your accound when requesting feedback. If I had cancelled a user's account whenever they raised a concern in a public forum, my boss would have handed me my a** followed immediately by walking papers.

FFprod, I too had a discussion deleted that was not a request for a link exchange, but an offer for a one way link on my site.

I'm well aware what libel is and this is not even close to libel. John, what of proposed terms and if put into place can you not comprehend?

I couldn't read that rule anywhere because there are not rules written. And discussion was deleted only after 4 days. And why are link-exchanged banned? Technorati faves are not, Stumbles are not, Diggs are not. Ridiculous. One more thing. One can not introduce TOS AFTER they gathered large number of members. With same logic they can change TOS in 2008 and enter new rule where every member have to pay $100 for membership or see you in court. Insane. And not ethical.
