Guessing that another admin - not me, got beaten to it - has trimmed your postcount as you have welcomed a number of newbies nope than once.  You getting the postcount numbers up, ready to sell something?  Why not join in and post over the boards rather than just overwhelm newbies?


All my other posts are in the Omega General help section where I have genuinely tried to give the best advice that I could.
When I joined I was so pleased to see so many people welcome me I wnted to do the same for others joining.
Just got it wrong.     :'( :'( :'(




Now, now Son; don't greet on so it isn't seemly ;) The Admins dont intentionally want to embarrass you, or ruin what was upto now a perfect day ::). They can't help themselves you see, it's the 'conditioning' they were subjected to while doing their 'bird' in Barlinnie Special Unit! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)

It;s a Post Count.  It matters not.

Anyway, it's common InterWeb knowledge that anyone with a postcount of over 1,000 doesn't have a real life, and their testicles/breasticles pixelate when enlarged.

I cant help but wonder... is this a bit harsh?

i know we have had people boosting post counts to sell something but does that automatically tar everyone with the same brush??

regarding the multiple welcome thing...is it just possible this was a genuine mistake?

Some people are more computer literate than others aswell so mistakes can happen,and forums can be confusing at 1st and can take time to get used to them if you have not used them before


If it turns out any member posts 'boost posts' and then tries to sell something,can the admins/mods just not 'nuke' the ad??

And.... rules of the forum are clearly there,but let's be honest here... how many people read them when they join? (rightly or wrongly)
Rules are rules and i abide by them,but i for one know another forum i was on that had sooo many rules that it became stupid and if you did something wrong admins 'jumped' on you, and it was like getting a bollocking from a teacher at school, forum members got fed up ,delted their account... end of forum.

Now before i get chastised here, i built and maintained my own car forum,so i do know how it all works and how much time and effort it takes for Admin and Mods to oversee things.

I agree with you fella.

With the For Sale Section, I think some other type of 'security' should be employed.  Perhaps pay £5 by PayPal/Cheque/Postal Order if you aren't a paid-up member of the site.

Anyone can achieve 250 posts in a non-descript manner.

Running a forum is a complete ball-ache.  What one person loves, another person hates.  Finding that happy medium is nigh on impossible.

When it comes to the For Sale thread, who cares if people get put off?  If they only want to join to sell something, they are no use to the forum or its members anyway.  Nobody would begrudge paying a fiver to advertise a car or a decent amount of parts, and paid-up members can advertise for free.  Flawless.

The Pajero forum i was on,didn't allow Ads as such just gave you an option to 'link' to a free ads site,which in all fairness was a pain in the you know what,but i agree we dont need newbie's joining to sell something then vanish again......

I actually agree with a small fee if you intend to sell, a fiver a year to become an 'Elite' member.That will put off the 'new sellers'

Make the 'Elite' membership totally optional, that way if you dont want to pay the fiver then you don't have to and you can still have full use of the forum, just can't sell owt......

If someone is selling a few parts or a complete car,whats a fiver? got to pay to advertise elswhere anyway haven't we?

The £5 could be put towards forum running costs or put in a seperate fund and could be used to cover costs at meets or whatever

Just my 2p worth  :y
