Lifetime members spotting cameras

indeed it's a nice idea, but the reality is there are 4 of us generally working 7-11 hour days 7 days a week... we're busy enough as it is to start adding even more admin to the whole thing.

as it is, the lifetime offer works well and has done for the last 3 years.

I think the reality is that the free lifetime membership is perceived as either an entitlement, or a lucky bonus, no halfway house. I don't believe we shall ever persuade otherwise those who see an entitlement.

mediaguycouk does have a point and personally I'd alter that page to read simply "The chance to win a free lifetime membership".

Not that I'd make much of a fuss about whether it's clear - all the other databases are "buy it or leave it, please yerselves!" As far as I'm aware, nobody else is anywhere near as open with information about their database - which other DB supplier publishes the information on how it's compiled and verified, how many and what types of cameras are included? All the other databases are one year subscription, so we're all on an equal footing, the differences being the cost, the quality of the data and for ours, licence to use the database on up to three devices in the same household AND the chance to get lucky with the free membership.

Surely the above quote is all that REALLY matters for the good of ALL. If anyone is in any doubt then look at how much the TT cameras cost and how little you get for your money. I consider myself lucky and honoured to hold the title of Lifer and also continue to contribute both cameras and poi for all to benefit from. This is a community after all and shouldn't be looked upon as a means to grab as much as possible without contributing much to that community. Just my humble two penneth worth. Smile

agree with the general concensus but personaly i've submitted a few and the one the dude was still painting the lines on the road so someone would have been hard pushed to beat me to it. at least have the decency to reply to the people who submit and say thanks but weve already got it . overall good database .
