I am a very busy and very successful professional game master. I have always supported players using Dndbeyond character sheets and I occasionally use the LFG forum to post about new campaigns or open seats.
I was very disappointed to see a pinned post which discourages players from seeking professional GM services.
I understand the need to make statement that separates Dndbeyond from the activities of professional GMs, but I think the tone of the pinned post creates a chilling effect on such offerings. In particular, I take offense at the use of the word "Caution" in the title of the pinned post. That is a word usually associated with warning to avoid something. Is it the intention of Dndbeyond to tell users to avoid professional GM services?
May I suggest changing the title of the pinned post from "Take Caution with Paid Game Listings" to "A Few Words About Paid Game Listings."

Sadly, some DM’s who provide services for pay take the money and ether provide what is expected, or get paid and do little or sometimes nothing with little ability of the player to do anything about it.
It is sad that some might engage in such a behavior that leaves players in situations that they have no control, but it’s best to be cautious and informative about what a person might get when seeking a “pay for play” game.
