he means you will NEVER get back your safetrader tag if you have unsettled dispute. For your case, it is sort of settled, therefore the rules doesn't apply here. So, with enough begging and good behaviour, they might reinstate your safetrader tag.

Here is my little opinion. Mods should give your a period of time say 3 months. If within that 3 months you prove yourself worthy of safetrader tag, then you will get it back. After all, it's you who ask it to be removed. Then you ask it to be restored immediately? Not so easy man...think before you leap. Goodluck.

you are wrong. Try to look into contract law. Even verbal agreement is considered a contract. PMs is definitely viable as a legal contract.

For the past case, between dandan and imperial, eventhough it's not a serious case, someone is still at fault. Who do you think is at fault? Read the previous case thread is you don't know. Don't just jump to conclusion based on postings here. I will say dandan certainly is not at fault. If he wants imperial to "face the music" then so be it. He have all the rights to it.

I am sorry to imperial if it seems I am against you but it's nothing personal.
