Not a mod, so I can't say.
For me - and I'm not a lawyer, but might think like one - I think the bigger question is, if every new member is encouraged to use the sticky ISO/WTT thread to openly trade/buy/offload stuff without buying a membership, is that a precedent you'd want to set right here, right now?
It's my understanding that thread is explicitly for WTT cases only, not WTB. At least that's how I've always used it. Generally speaking, you can post ISO, but need to post what you have to trade in response. It's been so long since I looked at the 1st page of the post, I'm not sure if anyone defined it or not.
I'd be careful setting a precedent, though ...
And it would be extremely unfortunate if this thread ends up getting the ISO/WTT thread closed and unstickied because it offers a loophole. It's been hugely helpful to me over the years.
