Hi Steve,
I'm in the same boat as you. Think I
paid DC membership once, but company has been a member for many years,
though we did skip a year or two.
I don't recall anything in place to
stop anyone from signing up to any of the forums.

Hmmm. I've never paid any dues
specifically to be on the DC forum. But practically every company I've
worked for over the years has been a IPC member. I've been a TechNet member
for over 12-years, and lurked on the DC forum for at least 5-years. Mybe
the dues that the company pays to be a IPC member gives me access.

That's not true, I'm on the forum
and have been for quite a while. I'm not a designer, nor have I ever paid
any dues.
I'm just a lowly manufacturing
engineer and lurk most of the time....

I believe that one of the conditions
for continued access to the forum was paid DC dues, but I could be wrong
about that...

Subject: [DC] Forum rules
I received an email from two designers that
state they have been blocked from posting on the forum. I went to the IPC
website to look up the forum rules for verification on what is acceptable
to post and what isn’t acceptable. I couldn’t find anything that states
rules/grounds for removal from the list http://www.ipc.org/ContentPage.aspx?pageid=4.3.15
Can someone provide me with what are the grounds for removal from the list?
I remember sometime back there was a designer that liked to rattle the
cages of most people on this list as well as TN. He would continue poke
people and call them stupid, I believe that the forum admin warned him
of his inappropriate postings before he was removed for making the same
type of postings. I am not looking to get booted off the list I
am trying determine what the rules are to avoid being removed. I also understand
that this forum is sponsored by IPC so in the end it is their decision.
