CHANGES TO FOR SALE FORUM

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

lately we have had a number of members sign up simply to sell something on the for sale forum. Most of these members are not from NZ, and are retailers without permission to advertise, or scam artists.

As a result, all new members now require 10 or more posts to create new For Sale threads. All members can still view and reply in existing for sale threads.

All existing members need to make at least 1 post for their access to be restored. (This does not apply to moderators, admin, race-series competitors, or sponsors - just general members).

If you cannot make a new thread in the For Sale forum it is probably because you have not made a post since the change was put in place. In this case, all you need to do is reply to any other bimmersport thread, and your full access to For Sale will be restored.

Sorry about the inconvenience, but this is the way the forum software works.

Cheers everyone.

Graham.

Good Call, Most PC related forums have a simular setup.

Fair enough. Can people who have recently joined with less than 10 posts see this thread? If so there's potential for spam so they can post in the For Sale area.

Yes, they can see all threads, but just can't post a new for sale thread until they have 10 posts.

True, they can just spam but its a tough call on how many posts it should be. If someone is that determined they could post any amount of rubbish. If someone blatantly spams rubbish to get the post count up we'll look at removing the thread or membership.

on OCNZ it's 100, and you still will get people "spammin' their way into the BSE"

It's really quite obvious when the persons 101th' post is "FS..."

Lol @ DRTDVL's sig.
