Kim,
Agreed, i want it ironed out, thats why the topics here.
Yeah i did think that maybe something like that could be a problem.
Well, what about sticking with the clause, and just let gold members advertise at their leisure. After all, it shouldnt/isnt your or pets problem wether someone is a trader or not...its the inland revenues.
If Traders are not happy with gold members doing this, and they decide NOT to have a ''Approved trader status' and leave PF then IMO it would be their loss, as with the amount of ford owner/members of this BB they would be cutting their noses off to spite their faces...as advertising on here is aimed directly at the custom they seek...and for not a lot of money as far as advertising goes.
So Gold members get a free for all to sell.
Traders get the banner and a ''Passionford Approved Trader'' status so people know they can trust them, thus getting more and more custom.
How do Traders get a ''Passionford Approved Trader'' Status?? Introduce a voting system. So many positives acheives the status. MAybe gold, silver and bronze status???
Just throwing a few ideas about. Unsure if they would work tho??
