I thought the time where people cared about post counts had long been dead and buried.

This site is well moderated, the 50/250 rule for selling or wanting something is counter productive.  It just causes people to post a load of crap in order to post in the Sale/Wanted areas (I'm not referring to this particular instance).

It's easier to closely moderate two areas for unsavoury/fake threads than it is the whole forum.

hi peeps,first of all to you welung666 you can check the forsale section theres nothing there of mine and when and if i sell my omega it will be in lots of classifieds not just oof,hotel21 my post count is 50 but if you check properly you will see ive given the best advice i can to a number of people in general help and if i was boosting my post count to sell something i would have made fifty posts in my first day not over eight like i have done.lizziezoom i can only appologise when i log in and go to new members it shows a simble of new on the post, clearly i misread this and welcomed a lot of members who have been members for a while, i have probably made the same mistake in general help aswell. so from now on i will check the date not just the post. sorry and thankyou

Honourable words, Scott.

I don't understand how this became such a big issue,  but I certainly value your apologetic post and look forward to seeing you contributing to OOF in the future.

Have a beer on me! Not literally, you understand - I'm broke! Besides which, it's your round!

We were all new once... i joined but did not dare post for a couple of weeks or so, was not used to forums and every one seemed to know each other so well....   Took the bull by the horns and posted, made an early, whisky provoked mistake, but soon sorted and here we are today......   Get posting, only one of them bites and he drives and Astra

The postcount thing actually works, despite being so draconian.  In an ideal world, it would be unnecessary, but we don't live in such a rose-tinted world.

Esp for selling parts, 250 posts means that potential buyers should have got some kind of feel for the seller to be able to make a better judgement about dealing with a complete stranger.  Surely we cannot moderate who sells what based on OOF Staffs' view on sellers?  It has to be the buyer's decision to trade with a seller  :-/

It seems to me that very few newbies stay the OOF course....It is always be the same old sad ....pathetic.....reprobates ......who are on here day after day.....

YEP.........sums me up nicely, I think.

Thanks Scott!

I am just sorry you got so embroiled in such an extended debate, which wasn't necessary.  I will not comment too much further other than to say I value welcoming new members, and when yet again I go to welcome the "latest" member and find it is one who joined on the 17th April it is very frustrating and totally unfair to genuine "newbies" who may then not get the welcome they deserve!

However I am pleased you now understand and hope you enjoy being on here with us all 8-) 8-) 8-)

too many wannabe admins poking there nose in where it dont belong. theres an alert moderator button if someone is abusing the rules or offending someone, i always thought this is why forums had admins.
