Concerning the new Buy/Sell posting format

By all means this wouldn't be a "pay or get lost" thing, just give general members the option to "support" canreef. Paying members could get a little avatar indicating they have personally contributed.

Just my 2 cents.

I agree with this as well, lots of other sites have paid members along with non-paid members. I visit here quite often throughout the day for my fix and would gladly contribute funds to keep things rolling smooth.

absolutely same here

I would also contribute, and tried to last spring, but that's not going to fix this issue
Having members pay a little bit to be able to sell more would only turn away sponsors

All I'm looking for here is a little format simplicity

I can't figure out what the purpose of this change is. I can understand adding new fields to a database record so that it becomes easily sortable but the prefix changes proposed here don't make any sense to me. Perhaps a list of Canadian cities would make more sense but I really don't understand what his goal is here

But wouldn't that be the point. If it did turn away a few sponsors, hopefully the added contributions from the members would offset the loss so this site can remain open and fair. Now do we have enough members to even try this, I have no idea. This would best be left for canreef's board and accountant to budget expected surplus or loss with this proposed change. Maybe you could even lower the sponsor fee depending on the member contributions.

Its obvious to stifle members from chop shopping or buying corals for the sole purpose of selling. I can agree to that....

But if its been in your system for a long time and frags are grown by you.....fair game I say.

If this still doesnt sound fair I know other forums have implemented different levels of sponsorships so even the basement small time fragger can afford to sponsor. Most people who want to do just a little side business by buying and selling or buying, fragging and selling; just might not have the income to justify the cost....so they are stuck.

All good points Darryl

What is wrong with chop shopping and how will the prefix prevent it?
