| YT "Featured" How do people get "featured" on YT. like Featured Storeowner, or Featured Breeder....I was just curious because some people are featured storeowners, but there are others I know of who have onlines stores, but are not "featured". What am I missing??? |

| I think you have to pm admin and tell him you want to be and you have to donate the required amount

Administrator | The Featured Breeders and Storeowners are for professionals with their own online stores or sites for their Yorkie litters. There are a few requirements they must meet to become Featured here at YorkieTalk. The YT Featured program was implemented at the request of breeders and storeowners. Here is information on YT Featured Breeders: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=74890 Here is information on YT Featured Storeowners: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=43176 |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I'm going to jump in here and be direct.... I think anyone can be in the Featured sections if they donate a yearly fee. I don't mean to be rude ...but seeing a few brand new people posting in the 'featured' section raised a question ....how would one know anything about them if they aren't regular members ??? Maybe the rules need to be changed so people aren't misled ??? I'm not saying there's problems... but for new people to read "Featured (members) are held to a higher standard" makes no sense when I see no post count under their names ....Are they referred by someone here ??? |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | ADDING this to my above post....I should have said it would be nice if the FEATURED section members have a proven track record here...I didn't mean to sound harsh but it would make sense that in order to be a Featured Seller...you should have history on the site first and foremost....which many do !! but I see some who don't. |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | last post !! What about having a minimum requirement of posts ?? I know there are some boards that require a seller to have at least 300 posts before they can be allowed to sell - that protects the members and also assures members the seller is part of the online 'community' |

| I have to agree, if I were a new member I would assume that the "featured breeders" were credible when in reality they have only paid money to be represented in that section (unless there is a process admin has set up that I don't know about). And yes, I think there should be a required amount of posts so that members know that the people selling are here for more than just making money. Just some of my thoughts~ Last edited by simonandhallie; 04-29-2007 at 06:19 AM. |

| Well said, Villette! When we see 'featured', . . . well I want to be able to feel like I'm sending my money to people I can trust. More than donation should be in the criteria.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Oh good thank you !! I didn't want to step on toes... since this is a suggestion section...Maybe a new member can start in the REGULAR For Sale Sections while they build up a 'relationship' with people and once they meet the qualifications - then graduate to 'Featured' if they want to pay the fee ? That way people will at least be dealing with someone with a proven track record. |
