Seen several people lately that either 1) aren't supporting members and are heavily using the classifieds section or 2) are brand new members that have ONLY used the classifieds section.
I know last year we had a discussion about minimum post requirements before you could create a thread in classifieds and people were concerned about the forum being flooded with junk posts.
Others suggested being a supporting member and I don't honestly remember what the disagreement with that was. I think it had something to do with legal stuff about it no longer being a donation.
I'm all for this being a community and able to exchange items. I'll totally admit I let my supporting membership lapse and I have yet to get some cash to Joe (I won't use paypal), but I also rarely post in the classifieds section and if I wanted to I'd have a motivation to get a bronze account at minimum. My issue comes with people not being part of the community and only using the site as an eCommerce tool.
Thoughts?
