Based on that alone, should we choose to strike down this proposal? I don't think so.
Of course you're not
You can tout your second home in a relatively safe environment courtesy of Randy, cost free! It would not just attract flyertalkers offering homes for rent/swap it would attract other commercial businesses into using the forum. It would be practically impossible to regulate who was an ft'er and who was a shady landlord looking to make a few $$. CC is at least too small fry in the scheme of internet things to become a business proposition.
I will agree I should have been more explicit in my first post, by personal gain, I mean financial personal gain. It is against the TOS of CC to offer or accept cash so there is a vast difference between CC and what is being proposed here. No, this idea must die a death and quickly, not least because there are other places you can advertise your homes, although I suspect you will have to pay to do so.
