hi all i thought that joining a forum like the oof would be  good helping each other out but i try to sell a genuine coil pack on here but i cant because i need 250 post but i new here why do you need such a high post count we are all he to HELP each other or not as the case may be can anything be done !!!!!!!

[Darth Loo-knee]

Because we have numerous people joining OOF (which by the way is probably the best informative and helpful forum you will find) just to sell things. Some members paid their hard earned out for items for sale from "new members" to find they did not recieve their goods.
So for protection although its small the post count was raised.
Hope this explains it mate.

Its because there have been a number of instances where someone has sold an item, taken the money and not sent the goods so at least if you have to be here for a while to get your 250 posts people can make their own mind up if your genuine or not, simples. You could always try Ebay, lots of people from the forum look on there for parts.

A sad consequence of unscrupulous others, that affects us all here.

I have enough posts to sell, but one day I may well need your coil PAC. But would I agree to buy from a seller with no history, 10 posts might be unwise, 250 suggests you may hang around and be concerned you are seen as trustworthy and responsible. If you see what I mean.

TBH i prefer the 250 post restriction keeps this forum from being another site just to flog off your unwanted miggy parts when and how you like...

[Jimbob]

I removed your post, as per the guidelines, which exist for as the other members have been pointed out.

Yes, its far from ideal...
But also why should we offer a free alternative to ebay, there is a cost associated with running this place too.

Hope you understand.

This forum is ALL about helping others out. The members on here are a goldmine of guidance & advice like you will never know. It's not information read up on-line and fed to us on a spoon, it's from people who love the mig and know it inside out. 
But what this site is NOT, is another form of eBay to sell items for free. As mentioned earlier, several people spend their valuable time, for free, keeping this forum running and safe, for the benefit of all of us...

Don't knock something til you've tried it!!

It seems you haven't been here long enough to have any insight sadly.

Members help each other not only frequently, but over and beyond most expectations, regularly.

Totally agree. I don't ask very often but when I do the advice is invaluable.

There have to be rules to safeguard others.
It has to be said...this forum is SECOND TO NONE....yes, shout it from the rooftops
Had this forum not been in existance, I would think it quite possible that the beloved Omega would have virtually died out by now, apart from the few 'die hards'
I could never think Omega without this forum and the membership

If the 'postage count' was reduced, I feel you would have to bring in a 'length of membership' rule, so the end result would probably be the same
There has to be limitations

[russ0205]

Its the best forum by far, If you don't like the rules don't join,
if everyone with low count wanted to sell all we would have is a free e/bay !!!!!!!!  sorry but thats how it is,
