I suppose big buyers, sellers, and traders could constitute as users with more than 10 feedback ratings. I believe this could be a could determination factor to define big buyers/sellers/traders of the site.

Big Buyers, Sellers, & Traders of EGS:

• Kendrah1
• brtev
• onerike [Paid]
  
• mai99 [Talked to, will pay 10th next month]
  
• FFXI_Stew
• ken1978 [Paid]
  
• xiaoxie [Wants refund for ads, wont pay for it]
  
• thyword99 [Paid]
  
• NavyGuy
• michael_ffxi
• Sworn
• Black Taru [Paid]
  
• Neoex
• Thasquall
• ArvinG (T2)
• Jectt777 (T2)

(T2) = Tier 2, people who haven't been PMed yet. Please put Tier 2 next to anyone you add to this list.
This list should contain current and previous staff members if the user's feedback rating is above 10 there are no exceptions to who should and who shouldn't be on this list as EVERYBODY WITH 10+ FEEDBACK RATINGS SHOULD BE ON THIS LIST.

Zero-Tolerancy Policy for Big Buyers/Sellers/Traders

I am growing very tired of our low revenue and being in debt with our wonderful staff here knowing that there are members here that our profiting from our losses, generating large amounts of income without paying a penny for our services - even if these users do use our service, it's still not enough for the revenues and profits that we're driving to them.

Thus...I am proposing a zero-tolerance policy for big buyers/sellers/traders. What sickens me more is that some of these members are actual MMORPG companies - yes competitors - that are utilizing our site to compete against us and further profit from us, while we don't see a cent of it. This proposal marks the loud yelp of "No More!".

Big buyers, sellers, and/or traders shall be ENFORCED to have to pay for our premium memberships, most-likely our ASP membership. We need to weave out members who are in this as an individual, and those who are working through MMORPG companies (competitors). Nevertheless, pricing for premium memberships as well as what premium membership we will enforce upon them will be determined upon the number of feedback ratings that they have. To prevent this from being exploited and then known amongst the public, we need to figure out a way that we don't have to rely on feedback ratings, as I know there are hundreds of private transactions done daily without the transacting parties leaving feedback for each other - the sneaky bastards!

Pricing Proposal

>0-10 Feedback: Gold Membership @ $24.95/year
~10-30 Feedback Ratings: Platinum Membership @ $49.95/5 years
~30-50 Feedback Ratings: ASP Membership @ $349.95/lifetime
<50+ Feedback Ratings: ASP Membership @ $349.95/year

I was always curious, what exactly did people get with the asp membership? for $350 I was kinda expecting it to make me dinner and lay the table while it was at it.

[Saphiera]

LOL monarch banned me for 3 reasons

1. I spoke out against him publicly in my signature
2. I didnt pay him $200 to pay off his cell phone bill
3. I didnt pay anything for ASP

I am unbanned now thanks to Artemys ^^ and back on the staff team not that, that means much lol.
Well it means a little :P I can help protect those still using egs against scammers.

EDIT: WOW I cant believe those people actually paid lol no offense but how stupid are they?
and Thyword is just a suckup so I know why he paid but all the others?

I am sure the people that paid are the ones that know they will make more money than the $350 they paid. Some didn't pay based on principle and or the ones that traded casually over the years can't justify the cost.

At the time there was really no better place than egs to trade as well so people are put in a position make no money or pay and make more.
Personally I base this argument on the principle, how can someone thats not liscensed(monarch)charge people for using a forum to trade, it was mean't to be a free open market which he advertised.

Monarch is abusing and lying to everyone to try and make quick bucks. He has lied about an accident(Twice!) hes tried to get people to donate to his charity(his pocket) about the only things he hasn't tried yet is say he is dying or he has an imaginary child whos dying and need life saving costs. If i see any of those types of announcments it wouldn't shock me but it would disgust me.

At any rate the asp was basically just another try and get rich quick schemes but im still curious as to exactly what benefits came with the asp membership

[Tabitha]

That is not all he has lied about. I personally know him IRL (havent talked to him in over a year) and he well lets just say he has quite a few skeletons in the closet and there is a reason he steals all of EGS's money without giving what he owes to the MM's.

Your ban was also due to the chargeback on neoex which I completely forgot about, if that's not resolved it'll have to be a ban-stick again unless you do.

As for silverbullet, you had already tripped the MUA a while back

This is the original list and not everyone on it paid. Also more people were added to the list later.

I just wanted to clarify that MMB charges $40 for 3 months or $175 for a lifetime membership as a Professional seller.

Usergroup Benefits

Of course the main difference is the execution.
-There's no pay or get banned.
-You weren't foreced to make a decision in less than a week.

Tabitha's chargeback was against me but the chargeback happened after she had already been banned for mass selling if I remember right. Tabitha has been making payments to me and as soon as she has paid the balance in full, I will let everyone know.
