john b 38 Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 I think it's time we all moved off this now, it is becoming out of all proportion. I am not trying to close down anyone's freedom of speech or negate anyone's opinion but I am going to delete the other threads on this. Donation is voluntary - there should be no pressure exerted or felt by any member. As moderators we will have to watch out for this more in the future. It is true that the ability to donate has not been very well promoted - an that is down to Ian and the moderators for not making more of it. As a result we have had a few 'recruitment drives' which I am sure were welcome, but should not have become press gangs. So lets give it a rest for a bit. Making this a 'paid membership' will solve nothing - the people we hope to keep out will find the money and many of those we would seek to encourage or learn from would not. There has long been discussion on how to control the 'classifieds' more effectively. We have the new rules and we've been looking at some sort of 'right to sell' criteria. Ian has chosen 'donator' for now but it could change. Don't see these two events as connected. We are in danger of losing good members over this, so lets all take a deep breath, and just let the whole thing go. Keep Hunting John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IanB 0 Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Just managed to crawl onto the PC, I've been dying in bed all day...a friend came round for a drink and I lost a fight against a pile of stella and JD :alcoholic: :sick: I tried to log on today, but couldn't even look at the screen, so went to bed again Just like to get some things sorted, firstly the only reason theres a donator option was when the site first started a few of the members wanted to donate, eventually I got round to adding something after being pestered a lot so people could IF they really wanted, theres no set rule that people must do it at all... Another thing, the site will never be a pay only site, its an open forum, IMO thats the whole idea about a forum community, being closed only attracts even more attention, people will always want in, and if they do whats the point in being closed? It also isolates genuine people who have their own experiences and thoughts to share with us...So to answer that one, the site will never be a shut shop or be a pay to join site...ever! Lets just get out do some hunting and share our days or nights with everyone on here... thats what its about Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hate the thought of some older members chucking their Membership in because they felt forced to pay! alot of these people were the backbone of the site when it started. hopefully its all sorted now and people now know the site is still FREE with the odd change here and there on the classfield forum ....

No....... i agree with the idea dropping the donation saga........it was dividing the site into two catergories, those that have and those that haven't donated, and a divided site would play into the hands of those that seek to destroy our way of life Quote Link to post Share on other sites
