At least we have this now but optically and chronologically it’s an interesting series of events.
A couple of years ago there were so many pricing threads that quite a few members were frequently complaining and reporting them, so they got either locked or merged into one thread, which was shifted to the WatchOut section. Dealing with those reports was also creating extra work for mods, who give up their free time to try and keep this place friendly and organized for no money or any other incentives.

So if people occasionally accuse us of being somehow in the pockets of trusted sellers, greys or whatever, or make similar suggestions, that doesn't go down well.

The money to keep TRF running comes from Pledge Members. I don't know how much those ads at the bottom of the page cost, but the payment only buys ad space, not favours.
