Trading.

[ethicalcannibal.livejournal.com]

It seems the majority on the poll are against trading. Some that are opposed are very opposed. It also seems that rules would have to put in place to keep things running smoothly. I don't think anything should be changed unless it's an overwhelming majority that wishes it. I had not realized that trades were so similar to in post volume to sell posts.

So craftgrrl will remain the same, and be a 'no trading' community. I am sorry for those that wanted to include trading, and maybe we could post some larger, well run, alternative communities in the user info for trading. We have some selling communities up there, but I am unsure whether they are trade communities as well.

Thank you so much for telling me how you feel, and discussing it. I am sorry I jumped the gun a bit, but very happy you all came to my rescue with some very good insights, and well written dialog.

So once again, we will remain no selling/buying/trading.
