    How was this guy (link_millionaire) allowed to create a thread in B/S/T (Sites for sale) Forums with only 2 posts (in that thread only) so far and who joined only 3 days ago (May 26th 2006) while the guidelines clearly suggests:



    P.S. I don't have anything against this guy or his sale, but i see its just against TOS of posting, so i am curious.

    Thanx

    if you're new, and try to start a thread, will you get an error message or will mods delete your thread?

    Normally they get a error when they post in B/S/T section.
    But in this case it was unusal.
    anyway now the US $1,000,000.00 sale has come to an end.

    I thought the process is automatic, i.e. the person who does not meet the guidelines is not allowed to post in that section!!!

    If it was moderated manually then i guess i should've just used the report post tool (which i did as well) rather than creating a thread about it. :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

    I also think the process is automatic.

    Maybe he had the required number of posts when he created the thread, which were later deleted.

    It is either that or sometimes a Mod sees a post which is in the wrong topic and moves it to B/S/T without checking the persons post count first.

    Just use the report link and it a Mod will take a look

    Is it something to do with this thread?

    He wasn't calling me a "special case", he is saying the person who posted in B/S/T was given an exemption.

    Not sure if it is any of our business why ;)
