suggestion for the for sale section

[Troy711]

when they sign up have it in big bold capital letters...

THIS IS NOT THE TRADING POST, YOU CAN NOT POST IN THE FOR SALE SECTION UNTIL YOU HAVE -- POSTS. IF YOU MAKE -- USLESS POSTS YOUR FORSALE ITEM WILL BE DELETED ALONG WITH YOUR ACCOUNT. NO EXCEPTIONS

why dont you include the 10 post thing in the section description, where it says - "Anything For Sale Should Go In Here" ?

I like the idea of 30, and something big and snazzy which lets people know this rule so they stop posting it in every single other forum.. and a change in "The Online Shop" forums description, the amount of stuff people with less than 10 posts try to sell in there is gay

can we ahve some sort of regulation on FS posts, so people have to include state and price in title? and their thread is deleted otherwise

SC does annoy me a little in the way that you cant post replies. Its so much easier to be able to post a reply rather than PM people, but the main thing is peope can see the Q&A's, so they dont have to ask

this is a classic example of what a for sale ad should look like. it has all the info you can possibly need

I bought a VN commodore because I wanted the engine and gearbox for my HZ van... now i have 1/2 a Commodore sitting in my yard that I want to get rid of cheap.

I registered here a little while ago to do a bit of research on what bits I needed to take from the VN, and the best way to get at them, along with a few other things.

I'm fairly new to Commodores so dont have much I can add in the way of forum quality.

I could quickly spam 10 posts, replying to myself, and then get my shell up in the for sale section, degrading the forum in the process. Or I could lurk in the background, never posting it for sale, and end up parting it out on E-bay, forcing members here who are interested in it (and who I'd rather sell it to) to pay higher prices.

I understand that 10 posts to stop Trading Post fly-by-nighters, but there should also be a time minimum. I signed up over 3 months ago, and havent had more than 10 posts, simply because "Me To" posts add nothing to the forum.

that is a good point you have. But I reckon that you should have 3 months membership plus 15 posts or something to stop people signing up and spamming straight away
