  • Access to For Sale & Wanted Section

    Okay some have noticed that "For Sale" had disappeared. Most will now see it back again.

    In essence to overcome the forum being used as a cash machine. I've set some requirements before access to post within these sections is allowed.

    1. 50 Posts
    2. 30 Days registration
    3. 5 or greater Repuation Level (See Here - Reputations)

    Both must be achieved NOT just one or the other.

    Those outside this can view but NOT post. So potential buyers have the opportunity to see what is for sale and can check back through a members posts to see some history.

    Other stipluations are that "Any Thread", offering sale of items outside these two forums myself and mods will be remove them without consultation with the thread owner.

    This is our first strategic attempt to overcome certain members who join and leave a trail of mess with dodgy goods and unhappy members not getting what they expect.

    Also Chat will be pulled into this to stop scammers attempting to peddle stuff under the counter out of mine and mods overall view.

    If you feel you meet the above and want me to double check your status then please PM me direct.

    Please understand that this is not something I really want to do, but given a few scammers attempts lately my concern is to ensure that we have a better level of protection for members.

    We do have other options to play with after this but it will make access even tougher.
    Cheers

    I think this makes perfect sense Stuart and closely mirrors the requirements established in a number of photographic forums I belong to.

    Keep up the good work.

                        I can joking aside, but a potential purchaser can't see my lads 450 pics i have just added for him, doh, but i understand why it has been done.

                          No - people can view it but NOT post into it until they meet the requirement. So only those that use the forum as it should be first and foremost and other members start to have a feel for the type of person before they get the opportunity to start to sell stuff.
                          Cheers
