Members adding many new topic threads unrelated to the forum focus

Perhaps, if you simplify rules for posting down to like five quick rules, that they have to agree to before posting for the first time. To tell the truth it doesn’t really bother me, but I know groups had to make these rules for obvious reasons.

I belong to other jewelry forums and you do have people who just want a quick answer so they can sell whatever they have found, and have no desire to learn anything about the jewelry. Then you have those who actually are at the beginnings of being interested in learning, so you don’t want to block them from learning and enjoying it and the becoming collectors.

I joined this forum because the folks here were passionate about NA jewelry, turquoise, and the southwest.

I feel that post-COVID has become the greedy Me era. If folks only want appraisals then pony up the bucks and offer to pay someone like @mmrogers or @jason who are making a living at the trade. Jason hosts this site for free to us. I have yet to see one new person offer anything for an appraisal when that is all they are looking for and do not plan to give back.
