A new MySwag area perhaps ???

[bobnrob]

With the "Free Accommodation" thread, & now Sol offering Free access to gear for mechanical/repairs, I'm thinking a new "Free" section on the board for members to post with offers for other members on the road...perhaps under "The Trader" area.

It is a sad reality that when people extend their kindness & generousity, there are bottom feeders who take advantage of...& abuse that generosity. 
So I propose (if possible) that the area be closed/unviewable (as previously suggested by others) to those who aren't members and/or X amount of posts after becoming a member. Perhaps the extra neccessity of displaying a "MySwag" sticker...to aid with the costs of the board

Sounds like a good idea, If I may suggest as a new member, it doesnt take long to get to sleeping bag trusted, so a level or two above that, guessing thats what your thinking anyway....  bit easy for some moron to sign up, put in some comments and then raid some generous persons tool shed.....  If I'm not sounding rude the word "free" may encourage some free loading types too....  No offence to anyone sorry... perhaps "members support" or somthing???  geepers I dunno I just they are extremely generous and trusting offers and it would be terrible tosee this abused by the small percentage that often ruins great things like this.  cheers
