Concerning the new Buy/Sell posting format

[reefwars]

I would contribute reguarily , for people like me how is sponsorship possible where I don't own a business and my revenue from frags is small, I'm not someone who posts only when frags are for sale I post answers, I visit houses, give people tester frags free and offer any service I can....I rarely charge for anything just frags I swallow all other costs and time......its kinda sad that I have to be careful not to make sponsors mad when people like me put in the real blood and tears.
...I bet I can name 50 people I've helped one way or another free of charge since Christmas
....and when its time to sell some frags I'm stepping on eggshells

Not trying to start a revolt just stating what's obviously fact

I really didnt want to comment, as none of us has really knows the story behind
why this has been implemented. Yet.

But it's not hard to guess where it's going tho. It's to stop people who are selling multiple frags. I find it kinda sad that I am "breakin the law" because of my 15 acan frags I started 2 months ago planning on December sale for some extra Christmas money. Guess there's too much competition here.

I'm not going to stress over a message board rule change...I have the real world for that! It is what it is

I stand by my sig line tho..

No need to toot your own horn Denny , that's what were here for.

I couldn't agree with the statement above more, never even meeting me Denny SHIPPED me a Nuc. Green frag free of charge. It's people like this that act as the proverbial glue here at Canreef, remove their ability to provide help and you have a house built of sponsors, not a home built for us.

In addition most of these sellers are providing something very few vendors provide, actual aquacultured frags, grown in their own home systems. Not a single store in Calgary at the moment has an actual propagation system. What option does this give us besides wild caught?

Please Canreef, stop oppressing the little guy before its too late!

Lol...

guys, this website is a business and like it or not, we the users are it's commodity.

This will not be the last change created to stifel the "black market" we create for ourselves as lets face it, the easier it is for us hobbysist to communicate, trade and sell at fair prices the harder it is for vendors to make their margins.

He who has the gold makes the rules.

We fear change

If vendors are worried about loosing money to guys like Denny then maybe they should one up him and bring in new exciting pieces we all drool about over the web
