What is needed on this site is a barter point system to help out others on repairs so we can stick it to the man on taxes. As well it helps to meet and greet people........It would make a better human race!!!!

 

I don't believe in organizing, legislating, or regulating goodness.

1. It isn't needed.
2. It doesn't work.

I've seen exceptions within religious structure, but even that gets messy.

 

I took the OP's post to mean that we could have a forum page on here for, for instance, a butcher to offer his butchering services in exchange for a painter to come paint his house, or that type of thing. I could see where it might work. It might also get filled up with a bunch of people trying to advertise their business for free.

 

We do that all the time on the department. Everyone seems to have a specialty so we trade off. i fix peoples trucks and cars, they fix do plumbing or carpentry work. job for job of equal value. Been working good for years.
