Shaun,
There is a distinct difference between a punter profiting from information derived from postings on the forum and unscrupulous "others" that sell it as their own ideas for profit.
The issue is claiming something publicly as your own work when it is not, plagerism, and selling something for profit when it was provided for free and with good intention.
I personally have no problem with any individual taking information for personal use - that's what the forum is partly here for.
As you say though, I have certainly cut back severely on sharing anything publicly due to the vulcher element.
Whatever I share here now, is simply general or fun stuff, not serious discoveries, of which I have made a few.
For example: The trainers methods post which I made and was plagerised almost word for word a month later, continues to do well, but, since that time, I've made a much better discovery in relation to the method and now cannot post it for fear of the "vulchers".
It's just not right in my opinion, and rubs me up the wrong way - it's downright deceitful!
It's a shame, because it shouldn't have to be this way.
