So that your sponsors feel protected? What about the vast majority that paid this website their 20 bucks granted its not sponsor fees but its still hard earned money for basically a hidden reef chat area nothing is done here for the supporters a mp10 contest the first in how many months? Then we get told our posts arelimited to protect the sponsors. Here let me set my teeth on the ground so you don't bruise my face as you kick them in. **** we we sell stuff on here we get told all the time put a price on the item but as the forums are bombarded by sponsors with 20 picture posts with no prices that's cool is that.a sponsor thing also? This just seems like the people that pay money for a little extra are just being hosed to give 20 bucks for jack s hit.

You're taking this the wrong way Keith...these rules aren't/weren't designed for you in particular, and the more you read into it negatively, the more it may upset you. But we felt we had to implement a set of rules, not to segregate everyone on the site, but to start off with some sort of standard. Cr just like any other site, any other organization, or group of people must have rules in order, so that any and everyone coming thru can't just do whatever they want to. So we must start somewhere in order to have order on the site. I'm sorry to hear that feel like you're paying supporter fee's for nothing, but it actually helps the site to grow, in ways you may not see. I'm sure Mike appreciates it. But as an officer, I don't like unfairness, and it was unfair for everyone to sell as they please, even though there are businesses who pay a lil more to be able to broadcast their business and sell as they please on the site.

Just curious, but I was selling like 30 things on two different threads when I broke my tank down, did I do something wrong? We can sell unlimited on a single thread but we can't post 6 different ones?

That seems kind of silly considering how simple it is to bypass it.

The businesses get much more benefit from the direct links to their site which is worth far more than anything they are selling directly here on the forums as it allows them to rank higher in Google for search traffic. That is the benefit they should be looking at, not the fact they can list for sale threads. And lets face it most of the vendors are a pain in the *** when they post in the threads, they dont include price, they dont include names, they dont include direct links to the livestock, they make you go to their site and search all over for it, even if it may have already been sold but since you dont have a direct link you dont know and they dont update

You want to add some value, enforce the rules that they include the above in what they post on their threads.

These rules aren't set in stone, and they aren't really directed towards active members, but again, something has to be in place to enforce when anybody on the world wide web decides to come and take advantage of good people here. The people who the rules are directed towards will never even read this thread.

I agree with you bro, and the team and I try to stay on top of these things. The site isn't perfect, and is still young and growing. Give us some time, we'll get it right eventually. But we gotta start somewhere. :)

:) Well bro, all I can do is suggest that you don't buy them. I can't make Comcast or AT&T not overcharge you. Same thing applies here.

Thats a dangerous line there... I was with you up until that.... so its ok for sponsors to screw over members as long as they pay your fee?
