My take on the 250 posts rule ..............

Leave it as it is but with admin discretion if for instance, the car / member is known to established members or maybe if a newbie or junior  has had work carried out on the vehicle by established members and can vouch for that person / condition of the car.

My take on parts recommendations ...............

A permanent section would end up as a bitching, dick waving free for all of which we have enough of that shite already so 'dangle berries', I say no chance. 
If somebody posts a request for a recommendation on a certain part, anybody can give there opinion but it is no way endorsed by the forum.
Again, if it turns into a bitch fight, admin gives one warning then just delete the post and ban the perpetrators for 7 days until members learn to keep there zip up / behave themselves

Veering back slightly towards the original topic - I was going to post a reply on a for sale thread yesterday, but was surprised to find I don't have that option. Is that also due to a certain number of posts being required ? 

Yup

What? Like in the title of the thread you mean?

No. The thread title is about the fact that members cannot post for sale adverts until they have accrued at least 250 posts.
I didn't realise until today, that members with less than 250 posts, apparently also cant post replies in for sale threads.
I fail to understand the reasoning behind that tbh.

The postcount is the Sales access filter... Buying or selling

A solution could be to remove the parts limit altogether and raise the complete car limit to say £500...

Anyone posting anything along the lines of. Whole car available for £x in the parts section gets nuked

[The Sheriff]

If anyone wants to sell something and has less than 250 posts, I am open to offers. Say....75% of the selling price. 

[Rods2]

i can't see anything wrong with how it is, please briefly explain why it needs to change?

[biggriffin]

The 250 rule has worked well thus-far, the peoples who seem to protest the most,are new members who's only intrest in the forum is to sell there car and not take part in forum life.

It ain't broke don't fix it.

[The Sheriff]

And it shouldn't change... 250 posts is easy to rack up

Yep. And you can lose thousands in just a second. 

I don't think you can advertise Flemmy Green Astras on here.   

You can't advertise anything on here

Oh I don't know, you seem to advertise certain aspects of your life well enough.

Please go to page two of this thread and read my reply to your previous post.
I don't care how many posts are required to sell cars or parts on here. I have no interest on selling things on here. Im not asking for the rules to be changed. Personally I don't care one way or the other.
I simply thought it might be something worth discussing. No more or less than that.
It succeeded, as the thread now runs to 10 pages (a rare thing on OOF), and most people (you being a very notable exception) have actually read the thread and had had some constructive input to offer.

Oi! Don't accuse me of constructive input, I've a reputation to uphold.
