    I think it would be a nice idea to put a 5 credit fee or sometihng to make a thread in the Marketplace, good for credit inflation.

    + an option to take a percentage away from the sales(like paypal fees).

    Remove the 50 credit rule, and charge those putting tutorials up a fee of something like 5 credits, and have a choice of 3% of earnings to go to GR or send a Set Ammount.

    For a set ammount, its a gamble, in some cases you could exceed more than 3% going to GR, and others you could not... so if it was set at something like 100 credits, then if someone made 3000+ credits from their auction they'd get a better deal

    There are many advantages and disadvantages to this. On the upper hand, there it will stop people from posting random crap that I have to read. :lol: But it may also cause less people to make topics, especially if it is at cost to them... and they might want to post something useful? Just may be short in credits...

    Any other reason you want to impliment this rule other than for credit inflation, it's not a bad idea in some ways. Thanks for sharing.

    Snipe. ;)

    Because the 5 credits is going to kill them?

    I could care less though it is a stupid idea IMO because I'm fine with the rules as they are.

    I think it is a good idea. It is like how ebay charges to sell list your crap on their site.

    and @ Trouble, the whole idea is so that people will be less likely to sell their stuff. This will stop credit inflation so that the value of the gamerender credit gets higher. Right now the value of the credit is very low because everyone is selling PSDs and tuts.

    I could see maybe a fee of 3 credits or something. It would only help to deter people from selling something unless they fell that they will be making a large profit off of the item they're selling.

    Hmmmm, maybe instead of, or in addition to this, a charge should be placed on those who wish to open shops. Maybe set up a free shops forum below that forum where people can set up shops for free, but they can't receive any profit off of it. I don't know, just an idea.
