It is a good idea. Bold lettering, and FFL prominently in their avatar, maybe ?



I have been resisting all day long posting about using another color or an appropriate emoticon for those who have been acting badly.

So far, I have been victorious.

No post, and no swearing.

No thread jacking, either.

It involved poo, though.

So, looking at this further. We have a couple of different FFL's already. Just FFL's and Site Supporter FFL's. Some FFL's use the section we provide for them, and some do not. We would need to designate 2 different colors. IMO we already have a TON of colors, and from people looking from the outside in, may already be very confused about the color combination.

I think, total, we probably have 20-30 FFL's on here, with only 5-6 being very active. If they announce to us that they are FFL's, then we change their rank to match and as long as they notate in their ad that FFL rules, 4473 etc apply then I think we are covered.

If for some reason we get a massive flood of active FFL's, then I can see maybe re-addressing this.

Even more the reason for people to make complete ads.

You make it seem like the FFLs are lepers and their threads should be avoided....

I understand the logic there, but:
- In this post-594 age, FFL sales are more attractive than they used to be.
- The FFLs here don't spam us with their entire inventory. (Thank you!)
- The FFLs here post up some pretty damned good deals.

I don't think we have an issue, as long as it's clear in the thread whether it's an FFL sale or not.

I think it is the opposite - no one thinks of branding FFL's for bad reasons.

People want to know they are dealing with an FFL, because they know there will be no transfer fee, etc.

A color designation is useless without a color legend to decipher them with posted as a permanent sticky, and some folks will miss that altogether.

FFL on the avatar lets people know right away who they are dealing with.

If anything, it is a confidence builder for a lot of people, knowing they will be dealing with a reputable business.

With all of the new membership joining each month, the knowledge we old timers take for granted can be more easily conveyed to them, making this a better site.

I am pretty sure that this is one reason why this topic was brought up to begin with - a positive reason, not a negative one.

Amongst those perilous places and slamming steel door sounds. God, keep my fellow Officers well and free from harm. Let them know I'll be there too, whenever there's alarm.
Above all when I walk my beat, no matter where I roam. Let me go back whence I came, to family and home
