After some more thinking about this whole thing and some advice from other members and potential discounters, I have made some changes.
1. The Phrase we will now use is "Discount Qualified" (DQ) member. It simply means that you have been a member long enough and have visited regularly. The idea is to not allow a person who has no interest in this site, to join and to take advantage of these offers as they come up.
The current qualification is that you have been a member for 30 days and have made at least 5 posts.
Sometime in the near future, the qualification will be changed to 30 days as a member and have visited the site an average of once a week for up to the last 8 weeks (multiple visits in one day will count as only one visit that day)
I reserve the right to loosely interpret the spirit of the qualification. For instance, Michael Garner is currently serving his country in Iraq. He will be discount qualified as long as necessary.
Where will these offers,etc. be announced? Most will announced and discussed in the new "Discounts & Offers North Carolina Woodworker For DQ Members " This will NOT be a confidential forum. It is to NCWW for these discount and deals to be visible to both Guests and all members.
HOWEVER, there will be cases when such an offer MUST be held in confidence to those members who are DQ. The reasons for this will be varied, but it is the entity making the offer, that will decide if it must be held in confidence. In that case the offer will be made in the "Confidential Discounts & Offers for NCWW DQ Members" and the confidentiality requirements of that forum MUST be met. Violations can lead to loss of DQ privileges.
