This is part of what Randy posted in Feb on CC:

CC being its own forum, reduces the likelihood of program monitoring. Also, I can provide moderating to see that basic rules are followed and that our members can be protected from scams. There is the potential for rampant fraud in that forum, which shouldn’t be allowed elsewhere. The mods have been able to identify the usual suspects and have done an amazing job so far - a job that gets my full support. They can and have also done a good job of toning down the “eBay” style of buying and selling for profit.

The intent of CC is to benefit savvy members within our community. In that particular forum, we have rules that do not allow the forum to be available to new members until they have established a number of posts and time online with FT. Sure, we could post warnings about dealing with new members, but what we don’t need are more stickies and announcements.
