This is the Australian one CM
Updated policy - effective 1 April 2009
Using discussion boards on eBay can be informative, helpful and entertaining. People receive support, learn about eBay and their collecting interests, and meet new friends on the boards. By following our values, the entire eBay community can help keep the boards a positive and enjoyable place to meet and discuss.
Each of the discussion boards has a defined purpose, or topic. This is to help ensure that the discussion boards are a useful and productive forum for discussion about eBay. For example the “Ask a Member” board is designed for people to ask questions of other eBay users and receive answers in a courteous manner. The “Buying” and “Selling” boards are places where people can discuss tips and experiences surrounding those eBay activities.
Messages posted to the eBay discussion boards by eBay community members are solely the opinion and responsibility of the person posting the message. eBay is not responsible for material posted by eBay members. You are solely responsible for the material you post.

They were my thoughts a week ago LOL, But now i'm curious, and when I was asking all my other questions, I forgot to ask those 3 things, and now I'm too embarrassed to do so *blush*
All elements of the board usage policy are up for discussion.
I see no attempt to derail anything at all.
Perhaps this thread would have been better suited to the 'New Community Experience' board - we would probably get similar responses from Lithium and eBay there - nothing of any value
