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.   

I don't mean anybody you, I mean you you. Not enough posts, you see.

That's OK, I've got nothing I'd like to advertise here.  Omega or otherwise.

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. 

Dont think it intended that way its just the way the system works.. You can buy parts by sending the seller a PM.And you are able to do a wanted Ad in the Test Zone And admin will move it to the Car Parts, bits For Sale & Wanted. 

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

That makes sense. Thanks. 

[Jimbob]

The 250 to reply was to stop the major problem of anyone replying to a thread saying Ive got one of those for £xx

to use that section you need 250 posts, or be the topic starter (ie started in test for wanted, then moved, if under 250 posts)

[TheBoy]

As Jimbob says, anybody who has 250 posts or more can start and reply to a thread in the for sale sections

Anybody with less than 250 posts can reply to their thread only in the for sale sections

(all assuming you're not currently banned)

This is by design, following experiences earlier in the life of OOF.

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.

I certainly would not be backing that if it came to a vote. Leaves the gate wide open for corruption (very unlikely with the current Admin Team, IMHO) or accusation of corruption.

[TheBoy]

OOF isn't a democracy...

Depends on your definition.

Its not a free-for-all democracy, and not a dictatorship. Its probably somewhere in the middle, much nearer the democratic end.

I know some/one vocal member(s) think there is one dictator in the Admin Team, me, that controls everything, and the other members of the Admin Team obey as if they have no mind of their own. That is complete, utter 'dangle berries'. Every decision (worthy of a discussion) is put to a vote within the Admin Team.

Understand what your saying TB but at the end of the day, any members who care to use the forum have to have a element of trust in admin. If they can't trust admin then what are they doing here ?
Its not like they have paid a subscription

You'd like to think so, but I've certainly had heavy hints of accusation that I get back-handers from those buisnesses we do let advertise on here 

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Ouch.  Totally unacceptable.


As you say TB, any recommendation immediately draws suggestion that it's not an independently-drawn conclusion. Sad.

Yes, OOF has been funded by Fifa for some years now

And the FBI have Marks DTM in a bollock vice, and he's squealing like a piggy

I thought that was Daz, every other weekend?

I'm surprised, I thought it Putin direct and now found out it is via FIFA.
