As posted in gallery thread I have gone back to a Skoda after an enjoyable 18 months of my miggy.
Now, my point is I understand the reason behind not being able to advertise before making 250 posts, but I have barely managed 100 in the 18months.
I have had to list my car elsewhere  :( , and I will have to list other related Items elsewhere.
I am not allowed to mention anywhere on here, which to me disadvantages other forum members and not me as I will just sell through other channels, as against offering items at a reduced price to other Forum members.

I think the mods maybe need to review the posts required to clear selling. This is way higher than other forums I have been party to.

Anyway been fun.

You don`t need to have a problem or query relating to an Omega in order to post. I would have thought that if you had joined in the various discussions/banter during your 18 month "membership" your post count would be far in excess of the 100 mark :-? Restrictions on the selling of cars/parts are in place for well documented reasons :P

As said, the 250 limit is well documented and agreed by the whole forum at that particular time.

I'd encourage a periodic review!  What seems to be a good idea at the drawing board stage, may not be the best when put into action. :y

Sad to see you go Stef - although there's no need to :y

As RobG said, had you joined in some of the varied discussions on here during your period of membership up to the moment, you would have had well in excess of the number of posts required.

Interesting point, but the post limit was decided it would benifit those that got involved and were regular posters, and lots of members just joined and started to welcome newbies just to get thier count up, that was then frowned upon after the 1st page as the newest members were just getting pushed down a page or 2.

Getting into some banter can easily add 20/25 posts a day, so 250 is easily achieveable.
