What it is consider to be a vendor??

Arati ... Very well said
Benices420... you shouldnt say that this website is not manage or regulated properly. Lets try to keep this open and going
But i do agreed with the second part of ur comment. If someone is regulated according to the site rules EVERYONE should be regulated too.
Before i open this thread i happen to pm a few mods and management and 1 did answer me saying they will look into it.
Lets see what happen in the next few days.
I really think our mods sometimes need a few more eyes outhere to help them because this is NOT everything they do. They got lives just like every other member. So im hopping this whole thread is taking in a good way and best of all to support our vendors and in way i was trying to say that our mods dont do they job.
Please keep comments coming

Not exactly accurate.

Please let us not get into semantics around mod volunteer duties. That really isnt the point and is definitely a topic derailleur.

I originally posted here because I am pretty sure I know what your post is about. I myself flagged that person to a specific mod before. I dont know if anything was done but I didnt get a response.

Why do I care?
Well, even though at the end of the day none of this really impacts my life, I am a fan of equity and living to the spirit of rules.

The people I am referring to as non participatory in buikding and sustaining this community yet making 8 to 10k per year here are selling at vendor price or closer to the mom and pop vendor prices.

Hobbyists are willing to spend more money to a hobbyist vs a legit business entity. Regardless of price. Our economy definitely has a trend in support of peer economy which devalues corporations regardless of price.

Of course if you can afford those ideals it doesn't really matter.

+1. Unfortunately, for many the term hobbyist has evolved into how to churn the chop shop wheel, and less about learning, maintaining and keeping a successful reef aquarium. They just need SPS colonies to maintain color long enough to be chopped and moved. >3 days and it'll be sentenced to The Eternal Land of Brown or worse.
