Just today I have noticed several non-members posting offers to buy & sell on the gear swap forum.

Have you actually clicked on their names to see if they're members or not? If someone joined today, the 'M' won't show up by their name immediately. Takes a bit. Best way to see if someone is a member, if you're concerned, is to click on their name and on the ensuing screen you'll see whether or not they're a member.

The "M" has to be added manually (by Addie in the BPL office), so it doesn't show up right away–it may take a day or two.

Holy frijoles, I do not add the "M" manually. I'd never get anything else done! Could just be a cache issue, like Doug said, where it takes a day to show the actual member status.

Thanks,
Addie

Is it OK for non-members to respond to ads placed by members? I had assumed so, but from this thread thought I should check.

Yes, you can respond. You cannot start threads.

LOL! I don't think I've ever heard that particular expletive!
Thanks for lightening my day.

Yup. We can respond but cannot create a new thread.

Nothing slipped through, Kane's a member.

I see the red M now, although it wasn't there before. A time lag in program update, I suppose.

Ah, who cares. Let the BPL staff worry about the Gear Swap rules.

A big +1. What are we anyway, backpackers or amateur lawyers?

Seriously. The member non/member dynamic on this forum is laughable. Paying for this site is a waste of money and tattling on people who are trying to sell items so they can make a few bucks in this economy is a complete waste of time and character.
