Have you read the published formula, genuinely asking?

Vendor source pages carry an outbound link to the supplier’s own storefront, marked nofollow and sponsored, disclosed on the page and again on the funding page. Nothing is received for it.

That is the controversial ordering, not the hot one. Different formula, different behaviour.

I would not archive earlier. The old threads are the most-searched thing on the site.

The evidence standard on the vendor boards requires a document, a date or a named service behind any claim about a supplier. It is what makes those threads worth reading years later.

Careful — that would make individual moderation cases public by default, which is worse for the person complaining.

do not post your own address details when asking

Careful — that guidance is several years old and the rules where you are have moved since.
This is why every thread here has to start with a country.

declared value and description are the shipper’s decisions, ask what they use

nothing in this board is legal advice
Agreed — read the notice before deciding what has happened. Most of the panic here is misclassification.
