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.
