i think you just became my favourite member! :) i like your attitude and approach. thank you for putting the welfare of the site ahead of the "competition".

What I lost my standing as your favorite member Rudyk I am shocked.

Many times a serial number is entered wroung and can cause stealth bills, also many unmarked bills spent and written down before being stamped. Stealth bills are often just a mistake of the member. It use to be that if you made a mistake on a bill you would contact site administration and they could (time permitting) correct the error. Now as the site has grown and our leaders time limited I think this practice has gone by the wayside. It would be nice if we were able to edit our entered bills (say on entry day only) to correct errors but this is not an option so mistakes remain in the system.

On your other point about members dropping a large number of marked bills at one store for large purchases. I for one only try to carry marked bills at any time and if I decide to spend $500.00 plus in any store they should be happy for the business and not care that the bills are marked. I very seldom have a problem when making large purchases and have never had a bill refused for the stamp. I have had more fifties and hundreds refused as store policy not to accept large bills (stupid policy).
I use to not mark the bills going to the casino but have solved that problem using red stamp as the machines tend to accept them ones with black stamps are almost always rejected.
