Hy there, I have a little problem with new rules. I have access denied to marketplace and i don`t understand why. I know that the rules are for new people, that drives them to contribute on the forum and that`s ok. The rules are quite good. What i don`t understand is that i have an account since 2010 (that`s 4 years - almost ) and i have posted about 170 posts/topics and i have selled/buyed here things (on old platform) with 100% positive feedback. I am not saying that i am helping every day users or that i am a saint, that i am the best user. I am just saying that i think i created some content, i proved to be a good user that follows the rules ( i have some warnings but i did my time for them ) and i guess, that after almost 4 years i deserve the right to sell/buy things here. This is just my oppinion, hope some moderator reads it, and also, i hope i didn`t upset anyone with this.

I understand, but, do you think that 4 years membership doesn`t equals established ? What is really dumb ( i think ) is that after 4 years i am not considered as established member.
Rep was converted into likes. Now, after four years, you need to ask yourself why you did not get any rep? Review your posts. It looks like they were mainly in B/S/T. It's not difficult to get three likes (then you will need to wait about one hour) from three different members, just go and help out in some sections where you have knowledge (or do some reviews of websites). No, I don't think years = established. It's a poor way to evaluate user-contribution quality. Ratings from other members are a bit more useful. That's just my view as another member, though.
You've made about 44 posts per year. The criteria for being an established member has changed. Now you need to be a *contributing* member. Membership comes with both privileges and price. The privileges are obvious, you know what they are otherwise you wouldn't be complaining about not having them. The price is contributing enough to warrant receiving 3 likes...........deal with it.
Anyhow, i see you guys have different views of this matter. I will drop this idea. Maybe i am too dumb to understand. I will reply to this post just to tell how hard it was for me to get those 3 likes.
Lolz. The irony.U even got 3 likes on this last post. I have posted about 10 responses on different problems and still none. Anyhow , like i said, i will reply once done.
