I don't know if it has been suggested previously but one way of raising revenue to support the forum would be to require any marketplace sellers to have an annual membership. There could be 2 or 3 levels or tiers of membership, each tied to a certain number of ads per year. A membership would be required to sell anything. The basic membership could be something like $20-25.00usd.
I would like to see more candid oud oil opinions or reviews but not without some level of respect and responsibility. Requiring a forum member to have a certain number of posts before offering opinion/ review would help prevent troll attacks. Lol. Might it be possible to have a simple 4 or 5 factor oud oil rating scale (each 1-5, or 1-10 points) that could accompany a brief narrative of the oil?
In my quest to learn and enjoy oud oils, agarwood, etc., I've been a customer of just about all the vendors here (including RPP) and also the market leaders EO and AA. No pressure or steam from any vendor to not buy as I wish.
