For the attention of ALL traders in the Autostadt Community.
As everyone knows and respects Autostadts primary goal is to provide an environment for enthusiasts. It was born in an era when the trend on the then forums was to bombard members with advertising.
Some advertising was highly relevant and applicable and included advertisers or traders who participated directly in the forum through general chat or sharing of knowledge to help the members. Some of the advertising had no relevance to the forum or members and was being promoted by traders with no interest in chatting nevermind sharing knowledge in the group.
As a consequence, Autostadt chose to not become yet another group like what is described above. Instead, a very small group of traders exist who are active and relevant in the group through chat and advice. However, we fully understand that there are many enthusiasts out there who are also traders. As you can expect, this has caused a challenge to both the group and to these people. As there is no doubt among the above there are many who would not only continue to chat in the group and give advice but who should also be able to offer their trade and services.
So, the Autostadt team wants to once and for all look at this and see can we find a better way of handling this for the greater good of the group which is nearing 4000 strong.
Our ask is for anyone out there that believes they are an enthusiast, and a trader and believe they can not only chat but also provide advice to others in the group to send a private message/PM to any of the Autostadt Team of mods stating why you think you meet these criteria, what you have to offer, and how do you think you could make a difference. The trade must be an existing established trade.
To be clear we don't want people to be nominated by their buddy instead we want people themselves to step forward via PM. We will compile a list and this will help us decide if there are sufficient grounds and interests to result in us addressing this particular challenge.
Thanks for your attention. Autostadt Team
