I have to wait 14 days and post 25 messsages before I can post in the Buy Sell section? Frankly, that just plain sucks. eb
Well, I dont know about 14 days but yes you need posts although over here you can make these posts easily because these forums are active!infact too much active Thanks,
Thanks for the reply, I was really just venting to the ether, but its nice to know someone heard. I could do 25 posts in no time, but its the 14 days that seems rather inconvieniant. I just decided to start taking banner ads on FreeSharing.org and the buy sell forum here was the first place I found that had active discussion on the topic going on. Looks like I'll have to keep on googling to find more options while I wait for the 14 days to pass.
I followed them, everyone else followed them, you can do the same. It does not plain suck as you so naively put it. You do have to build some credibility here before people will trust you and purchase from you. And it does cut down on the spammers coming in here.
Try to post something of substance, not just another "me too" post or you might find them getting deleted The rules cut down on the BS drive-by spam
I guess it depends on your point of view. For someone just finding the site and getting the notice it's a 'that sucks' moment. I can see the reasoning but I think 24 hours would keep out most spammers, 14 days is well, almost two weeks. eb
I guess that would depend on the reason one comes here for - if it's for self-promotion, than yeah, it would suck. But only for 2 weeks.
Well, to be honest, this is the reason why I barely posted the month of my join date, but now of course I realize why this function was added: to receive quality members actually interested in the forum, reduce the risk of scams, and of course not just have members hustling money off this forum. Prove yourself worthy, and then you can talk about selling stuff.
