It is NOT (so far as i'm aware) a forum for selling services. Regardless, anyone who makes "representations" about a service they are selling or promoting (or worse still is actually requesting money) rather than just saying "here's the info, do what you will with it" is almost certainly opening themselves up to potential liability, which is generally not a good thing! It also can impact other people's lives in unintended ways, which is even more serious - so all i can say is, be aware of the "consequences" of what you promote.
The subject matters contained within points 2 and 3 above are too vast for this thread, but i only suggest a bit of caution. It is merely friendly commentary from me, but one understands better the consequences of what you do as you get older. "Karma" and "consequences" under buddhist doctrines is for another thread!

OK, I see,Piers thanks for the comments and clarifications, but you are not talking about the revised version of Jack's idea. It was
not made abundantly clear on that thread that after the mod team pulled Jack's thread, Jack
revised his first post to state that the 1 euro fee was just a small token of a person's commitment to participate - a symbol - and then he put back out on the forum. In the revised thread he stated that he would not receive any money - here's the new title and a link to the thread.

And your legality statement was made after the revision if I remember correctly, so I am guessing you missed the changes? I was tempted to post a comment at the point when the thread reappeared because people had to go back to the first post to understand - I had advised Jack to just start a new thread. Ha, in order to do everything I am tempted to do, the day would need to be 10 times longer.
