The first principles concept of OOF was to make info available regarding care and maintenance of the Omega for no charge.  That still remains, shop sales excepted.   No plans, obtuse or otherwise, to change that.  Current 250 posts considered best option available at the mo.  No current plans to change that.

It;s a Post Count.  It matters not.

Anyway, it's common InterWeb knowledge that anyone with a postcount of over 625 doesn't have a real life, and their testicles/breasticles pixelate when enlarged.

At least your honest about it - respect. :y :D

Right,,,,

Wanted posts are allowed....just create a wanted ad in the test zone  :y

Its sellers with no reputation we have problems with

I did that, but couldn't reply to the post. So I sent PM and only got a reply today.

Why am I being subject to this humiliation.     >:(  >:(  >:(

You are'nt matey, but when you said you had bo intentions of selling anything, the drawn out conversarion/humiliation got longer by the fact that you had contradicted yourself.

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?
That leads to a two tiered system, automatically that makes Member A seemingly more important than Member B, just because Member A can afford (or is prepared) to pay.

That goes beyond the philosophy of OOF, where everybody has the same access to all the information for free, and everybody is equal - within the (unfortunate) necessary confines needed to protect members to a certain extent.

Sorry TB, I dont follow that at all.  The £5 would be so members can post in the 'For Sale' section.  Unpaid members would still have full access and posting abilities in every other area of the site (except the admin/mod areas of course).

Lets be completely honest, if you have Omega Parts, this IS the only place to sell it.  If you have an Omega for sale, this is the place to trial an advert..... you'll get more than a fivers worth of advice on the advert alone before you go pay 723894237856 pounds to bang it in Auto Trader!
