Question 1: Should Trawler World Buy-Sell-Trade be open to all or
restricted to private individuals?
I think it should be open to all but very strongly moderated
(Question 3). If there is no moderation then it should be private.
Question 2: Where on the Internet or Web have you seen for-sale or
want-to-buy forums that really work well, ie, that I should use as
models for our service?
I haven't found one. Private areas seem to die for lack of
participation and public with no moderation attracts every whacko and
scam.
Question 3: Should Trawler World Buy-Sell-Trade be moderated like
rec.boats.marketplace or wide open?
See Question 1 - Strong moderation
I look forward to your input. Since a significant number of listees were
interested in such a service, your comments as posts to the list might
be appropriate. If you wish, provide the feedback via private email. In
any event, thank you for your help with this project.
I think that "commercial" vendors should be allowed to
participate providing they are from a legitimate marine vendor and are a
deemed interesting to the TrawlerWorld community as determined by the
moderator. Commercial vendors have a lot of great information to impart
to us all and it's nice to buy from someone who is contributing to the
list. The idea is to keep the Spam out.
I think that the "non-commercial" or individual participants
should be subject to the same constraints as the "commercial" vendors.
My main concern is the proliferation of participation from
non-TrawlerWorld, non-Marine related products and services. Otherwise I
think a buy sell area could be great for all of us.
