Can I ask what the reasoning is behind not allowing new users to be able to post in the for sale section.

11. Due to abuse of the Sales and Wants section by some previous new members, it is now mandatory that you have 50 posts before you are allowed to post in that section of the forum.

A lot of new folk signed up specifically to just sell their stuff, or ask for bits - knowing they would get them cheaper being a "member of the VTR Owners forum". Once they got their bits, etc, they buggered off. So, the rule I think was put there to stop new folk arriving and abusing the system (and taking advantage of the other members).

I think it's a fair rule, and although 50 posts seems a lot to someone new, they soon add up if the person starts talking n' getting involved with other VTR folk - after-all, that's what the forum was set up for!

Hopefully, if someone sticks out the 50 post rule, they will then be deeply involved, committed and "certified insane" within the forum/asylum. It's hoped they will stay a bit longer than the 51st post!


Dave.

I could not have put it better myself. Well done that man.

Dunno Carl. But with a nickname that looks like "horseleg", that usually points to something else entirely.

Maybe he's just erm....very popular with the ladies for some reason!? *coughs

???
Must be my dyslexia. I keep seeing Horse Slag....I'll keep quiet about how I think he got his name

LOL! Well, there is that! For you have introduced yerself as Ian, and on the photobucket, yer Surname is Elgie.

Now...as for looking like a horse. I don't really want to ask "which bit". Cos that brings me back to my original thought.

Moving swiftly on.........

Should we start a "Whats the reason for the name" thread?. Some may well be obvious but who knows. Mines as i have huge Nuts !

I am now confused.


Do you want to sell your name?
