A few months ago, someone scammed a few members our of hundreds of dollars selling ibooks that didn't exist. Shortly after that, the list mom started instating a whole lot of rules that weren't in any way possible to enforce. A few days later, he posted a retraction on those rules (big surprise).
Later, one of the nannies started posting reminders that the rules had changed and that people had to include their city, state, and zip code. This is mostly redundant and as a zip code can cover both city and state. Not to mention that it should be the buyer's responsibility to acquire find this information or risk a bad sale.
Then that same nanny started posting frequent notices that they would be banning members who didn't include city/state/zip in their posts. http://groups.google.com/group/lemswap/b...a30b81d326
Today, a new nanny stepped in:
First off, opening the e-mail with an insult to all members? That's pretty rude, isn't it?
Banned for a week? LEMSwap members have NEVER followed the rules as a whole. There are many rules you're supposed to follow for each post and have always been many people who didn't follow them.
Now, they're going "make" people paypal 10% of all shipped deals (buying AND selling, WTF?) to the nannies? How in the world do they expect to enforce this?

Are you dumber than a 5th grader? Kyle posted the new rules. And sellers are
still breaking the rules. It¹s time to get tough.
If you break the rules once, you are banned for two weeks. After we
reinstate you, you will paypal 10% of the shipped price of all your deals
(selling or buying) to the nanny account at paypal. Think it¹s easy being a
nanny and having the responsibility of life and death in your hands?
Yes, life and death. Because if you break the rules after the first time you
are globally banned from all LEM lists for life. That would mean death to
me. I couldn¹t ban people for breaking the rules. Or ban people because I
never liked them or they hurt my feelings or have better Mac stuff than I
got.
Nannies are a special breed. We hold the power to ruin your miserable lonely
lives by banning you from buying the only thing that means anything at all
to you and that is old Mac stuff.
Follow the rules or die.
Thanks,
