In all honesty regardless of what is thought, these rules where put together by us, as members/moderators/traders to create the best & safest package for both members and traders, after all YOU are what makes the site, you have made tgtt.com the grand site it is today.. Just remember we are here to make sure that the site keeps on running smoothly without those threads popping up like "iv been had" or "my parts not turned up" etc.. we as staff have been involved in many cases where sales have gone bad & have created a system which is in the interest of both traders & members alike.
True not everybody will be pleased by the rules, but just like every own entity rules are made for the benefit of all, even if sadly sometimes the good do "suffer" coz of the bad.
If anybody has suggestions to be made pls remember there is the suggestions/feedback forum for anybody who has anything to input, if it is a good idea we will see how to impliment it. Every little bit helps.
Another point id like to make is that when approving traders, we take alot into consideration, something many forget is general attitude & attitude towards the forum rules, ie that "if i can get away with it" attitude is NOT tollerated & we have been contacted by ppl submitting a trader's form who are rejected just for that very reason.
As my colleages have very well said if uv been rejected, try & see if you can bring something more to the forum, or say have changed/expanded your business range, no harm trying in applying again, u never know!
This debate could go on for ever, just remember end of the day this is in YOUR best interest guys & girls!
