Most of my concerns have been voiced by the general canreef populace, the only thing that I can add is I have no problem paying a membership fee (Something similar to RC) if this would help circumvent high vendor fees.
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.

Yup, I find the new format extremely annoying. Just harder to read and seperate through posts (The opposite of what it is intended to do). And the wording is kinda funny too (eg. "one off sale of personal items"). Sounds funny to me lol.
Maybe simple acronyms like most other forums would work? They don't need to be links either.

The prefix idea has some merit but...
a) the link to forum rules is annoying and a little too much and b) confusing as all hell as part of the title says I have read the link and part doesn't. (As previously mentioned) A better idea for a prefix would be to add a city which is mandatory. Now that would be useful. I never did agree with a limitation on what I can sell out of my fish tank. It helps keep the bills down at least until the inevitable crash which makes me have to buy everything again.

Seems like an ok idea in theory as a way to sort out sales posts but since it gives the option of "no prefix" it seems kinda pointless as I'm sure most people will choose that option out of convenience.

If these changes reeeeally bother a person that much they are probably breaking the rules to begin with ooooooor he feel the need to instruct everyone to hold hands to cross the street just so he can take them back across to the other side again. This crappy hotel must have me grumpy, well a three hour drive to the next, hopefully it's better.

Ahhh, that is what has happened. I noticed this, and wondering WTH. I personally don't like it either.

I may not post much on here but I do read through multiple times a day. "[One Off Sale of Personal Items]" Really? Like I think somebody selling a 200gallon tank has 40 more sitting in their basement. Its a bit redundant as well as annoying to look at for somebody who just clicks "New Posts". Even if people had a frag grow-op in their basement and was just cut and sell. They wouldn't be picking a title that said thats what they were doing. Just a Simple FS, FT, FF, LF (or a mix of them) that was mandatory would be more then enough, there are lots of people that forget to put that.
Now I would be all for something that makes people put a location in the title.

 and all it will be is "Recurring Sale of Commercial Items" at the same price as everywhere else... WooHoo Quote:
Knowing what city an item is up for sale on Tapatalk is a royal PITA without a location in the title. I'd be pushing location more than "One Off Sale of Personal Items" If it's in the For Sale section one would assume that it's For Sale unless noted otherwise. Now wheres my soap box?? If I sell a frag every 6 months, is that "Recurrent Sale of Personal Items]" or [One Off Sale of Personal Items]"? As a purchaser, I only care that there is a frag for sale, not that one was sold in the past by this user. "[One Off Sale of Excess Goods from Personal Shipments]" is redundant. If someone is importing large quantities of items and constantly listing them up for sale, then they should be confronted by the mods at that point for sponsorship. I'm sure that the paying sponsors will see and mention if someone is undercutting them in this area. Again, I'm not really interested if a seller ordered a 10lb bag of calcium and ended up with a 1000 lb bag and therefore has "Excess Goods from Personal Shipments". All I want to know what is for sale/for trade/for free, where it is and price.
