Traders who have recently re-newed cant really moan about bedroom traders now though surely. By re-newing theyve accepted that it happens and thats probably why admin dont seem bothered about dealing with it (if its still going on as people say that is). They should have brought this issue up BEFORE throwing their cash at them and been strong enough to raise the issue with the people at the top, like many of the 'ex-traders' did.
Maybe that 'may' be a reason why it doubled? Maybe they anticipated the fact that many traders were not happy and not willing to re-new so they increased it massively as they knew some would just throw the cash at them anyway without a second thought?
Of course, im not having a dig at anyone or admin for that matter, as all this doesnt really bother me, i just like to put my opinion across and look at things realistically. If i was a paying trader, i certainly wouldnt want people taking potential custom away from me without paying a penny for the privelidge. The problem is, if the paying traders are happy with this then fair enough.
I have great respect for the traders who have not re-newed due to them not re-solving the issue of 'bedroom traders' if that is a genuine issue. Thats the way it should be done, dont take any shit and certainly dont give people money if their not prepared to help with the issues your concerned about. Thats just basic business sense.

Pete I appreciated the fact you tried to help me and like I said not having a dig, have met you many times and had dealings with you which I always been pleased with.
The rules clearly state that as a gold member im allowed to advertise upto 4 of my personnel cars, which I quite simply was not allowed to do, quite simply because I feel that your or other mods perception of me was incorrct.
Then Only reason I had never renewed my trade status at the time is because I had left the trade and gone into property, hence made no sense to renew as I was not trading and all I ever advertised was my onw personnel stuff within the rules,,hardly a free ride.
However I would like to know what the latest fees are as im considering going back into the motor trade.

it was noted Tim but at the time it was your personal car so no probelms there,anyway just one question with all the names you called this site and its users how come you have paid up ????
i think someone in authority needs to speak on this thread to clear up some things;
can ex traders who are still gold members still use their gold member quota-whatever it is?( x amount of cars and parts for sale).
is it an offence for ex traders to offer parts to people who have advertised on pf's wanted page?
how do the current paid up traders feel about it?
the first 2 are clearly a grey area that needs sorting out.......

if Stu would like to clarify this that would be nice,as it was stated in the rules at some point but when the site was hacked it all wents tits up
thats amazing and can only come form someone whos been caught out sly dealing,its the same old people who have a gripe about me being a mod,thoses thats been captured PMSL thing is admin dont think so hence why have benn allowed to mod the entire site,just shows who doing the job honestly correctly and above all fair,now stop being so childish and let it go
