There are lots of ways to improve on this. Lots of people have some good ideas. But you have to listen first and you ain't doin it from what I've seen.
Maybe so. But you don't seem to understand my thinking. I don't want to limit someone who isn't Gold. That wasn't the point of the whole Gold Membership. Like your suggestion that we only allow Gold Members to sell parts. Sorry, I don't want to limit others who maybe cant afford to be a GM.
The reason I set GM up was to recognize people who wanted to contribute to the site. People were offering to contribute and I wanted a simple way to do it and to recognize those good enough to donate to the site.
