"Also the copyright rules and freestuff holding times were actually changes in the original TOS? I'm not aware of those changes in the TOS. Maybe they were changes before my time but as far as I know actual changes in how the TOS reads are announced to the community.

Free stuff providers who had their original meshes approved by the PTB were suddenly told they had a "warning" in their "records" for modeling something possibly tradmarked/tradedress/whatever. (real world items even) Something approved by this site, I might add. That's they type of situation I'm sure that's being refered to.
Something just so wrong about this site telling a member something is ok then turning around a issuing "warnings" about the very thing they said ok to.
If you're wondering where the lack of faith is coming from...
