Hold on there, Axe...his entry wasn't pulled because he's a "pro", it was pulled because it was a duplication from last month, an administative goof, not his.
Sean had a detail (might not have been this one, but it was one in the last 3 months or so) pulled because he was considered a Pro by the authorities here at autopia. I am looking for some consistency here, hence my comment. If Sean is considered a pro, then so should scubsteveo and in fact JJ too, my reasoning?
Well, it all depends on the term Pro, the term means if you are paid for your services then you are professional, not if your are paid for some, or by some amount but if you are paid. Therefore, each of these people have been paid for their details (not necessarily the ones entered I might add), so on this logic one can only deduce *all* of them to be PRO.
Looking at it another way, and my preferred way, Sean should be allowed to enter his details as he does not do this for a living, and neither does scubasteveo, I could be wrong but I think JJ does. However, I think the rules are open to too much interpretation hence my comments.
Personally, I don't have any problem with anyone entering this compo pro or otherwise, however the pro's on autopia, people like ScottWax, CleanDean, Anthony Orosco etc don't enter these competitions anyway, so I don't understand why this rule is even here. :nixweiss
PS one other thing I have just noticed is the moderator opened this thread with the statement
"We have four fantastic entries for July!"
Who was the fourth if Sean wasn't pulled?
) and no sleep didn't help too much with the anger. Sorry for that nonsense.
