I really do believe that all jobs that are now coming in for platinum members are fine, and if I decide to upgrage that is just cool. But at the same time if platinum members are considered to be better than guests members, then I feel that other members looking for info on certain agencies should be restricted to platinum members only as well, as obviously they are they are the only people who have the correct experience.

Note that I disagree with your statement that email notifications for the Blue Board are "abuse".

It's very easy to stop receiving them - just edit the email settings in your profile (uncheck the top box under "Other notifications"). Simple, really...
