Very well said - may I add, both POSITIVE and NEGATIVE. I am a strong believer in freedom of speech, and strongly oppose censorship in any form, therefore there will always be people criticizing negativity or negative posts or bashing said "senior" members, but people like that fail to look at the whole picture and what those "complainers" have also done over the years, the work they contributed and the help they contributed over the years, which accounts far more than said complaints. It's one thing to preach, but those who do should see the whole picture - if they want their opinions to be respected, they must learn to respect others and the negative opinions as well and especially understand that those senior members they refer to have been hard working and the most LOYAL to the site. There comes a time where you need to express both good and bad. There is a lot of crooked stuff happening in the industry, I know because I have been very close to the industry, and I even worked in it, luckily the companies I worked for were legit, BUT I've witnessed crooked behaviour from other firms so the industry is not all ethical. I always said that I appreciate the opportunities I have received over the years from all these sites, however, when I see a steady decline happening I think I given my loyalty, my hard work over the years, I kinda earned my privilege to complain about specific situations.
This is what is good about a community, positive and negative opinions, it makes a good balance. Also it is not very pleasant when you spend all your time and get bad results and see a steady decline, this however never changes the fact that for the most part people are appreciative of what they already accomplished. Unfortunately the amount of fraud and scammers is growing exponentially every year, so I guess complaints, when they are warranted, factual and backed up with good arguments, can be a good thing. I don't think the issue is disqualifications - I stand by all my opinions, it is NOT fair or ethical to have to go through an ENTIRE survey only to be told we do not qualify, or survey is off quota, etc. I think complaints of the nature are warranted.
