Requirements for posting in trading section

[yadav]

I figure this may have already been raised, but my feedback on requirements for posting in trading is i think they are counterproductive.

Eg: I have a car for sale, for which i've needed some parts for, none of which i have been able to use this forum as a place for doing either.

That doesnt really worry me at all since ive advertised the car elsewhere and got all the parts ive needed from elsewhere, but i don't see how this helps forum members at all. It just restricts unnecessarily the numbers of buyers available on the forum, and also the number of people who advertise cars.

Not that this applies to me specifically, but from my experience on other car forums, some of the best cars for sale were advertised by people who had signed up just to post an add in a car trader section.

there are reasons for these rules, as per below.

Trading Post Just Commodores provides a section for members to advertise their cars for sale, parts for sale, general items for sale or wanted to buys. This system is only available to members who have been a part of JC for 90 days or more and have contributed 20 posts or more. This is to prevent people signing up just to sell items and leaving again. It also helps in trusting who you are buying from.

all of which charge you a small nominal fee to advertise your product on their website/news paper

once again, thanks for the feed back.

As i said i've already paid to advertise it somewhere else

I don't really care about not being able to advertise it here, i just wanted to point out that i think your rules mean forum members miss out.

I think its good, stops people who come, post a thread then never come back to check on it again.

Actually, real forum members gain from it. Id much rather buy from someone who ha sput time into a community, then some blow in who comes by trys to flog off the dodgy crap and moves on.

Agreed. Also since the seller is part of the community he/she is more likely to do the right thing by the buyer.

You make it sound like you'll never be able to sell/buy stuff here. Its not like that at all, contribute more worthwhile posts, and you'll be allowed to. Simple really.
