Trader, you are missing the point of the thread. The question was not what used to be done, it was about the future and what should be done in your opinion. It is an opportunity for you to help shape future procedures.
Spearmaster, in my post it stipulated (and maybe I wasn’t clear) that there would be a general advertising fee. This would not buy certification but advertising only.
Certification would be a seperate, no fee process. The question is exactly what that process should be.
