I have pics of my club in my profile, is that cheating???? Oh hell!

I like the idea of this and even have added one like that, but not to camp to be a part of a drawing each month... same difference.

I pay my 50 a week for 2 listings in classifide no more ever its not worth it.

So now some of you are telling me I am doing wrong. Because Picks are important in Search, I use that to get higher in Search. Tell me where that is wrong? Do I use valuable resources? No, but people should only use picks for places they really like.


You're not doing anything "wrong", you're using existing resources to benefit your store, nobody is twisting the arm of the people who put your store in their picks.

As soon as the nature of picks changed, then their use was going to change and as you point out people often weren't using them for their intended use anyway, people used them to make comments about friends, those people are using existing resources they way they see fit.

However picks camping is not guaranteed to work, some avatars don't show up in the right search environment for their pick to count, so this isn't such a straight forward solution.
