    Hi. For some reason I can't post threads in the traffic forums> buy and sell. I think it's because this is a new account.

    Does anyone know when or how I can post to that thread?

    Thanks.

    You should have at least 25 posts to open a new thread in Buy,Sell and Trade Section.

    What are we supposed to post on here without going out of our way trying not to spam just so that we can post in the buy/sell/trade?

    There is more found in the FAQ on what is necessary for eligibility to post in buy, sell, trade.

    We expect member to share their knowledge and expertise with the community before they start self promoting.

    If you have nothing worthwhile to say, it's probably best to not say anything. :)

    Do NOT post just to get your post count up. The MODS ARE watching and WILL ban you. You can review websites for people, you can find threads on subjects you are knowledgeable about and help others out. If you really want to be a part of this forum and build trust, you need to do more then the buy/sell/trade ;)

    I have nothing worthwhile to add here. I come here looking for useful and worthwhile information. However, looking for what I need may require me (which it does) to post in the buy/sell/trade forum. This is impossible to do because of a post count reason, which is completely bizarre to me as I'm not trying to spam and you can clearly see that I'm not a spambot. However, when I do find something useful such as a dropdown menu, I comment on it and recieve an infraction.I understand the reasoning behind some of your spam reduction procedures, but some of it is quite frustrating to me, and I'm sure many other users. I do like the buy/sell/trade area of this site, I just wish I could fully utilize it. I am not trying to utilize it to promote anything, only to purchase. Unfortunately, if it seems that I am unable to provide to this community without being penalized for "Running Up Post Count / Post Has No Value", I guess I will have to stick to more 'freelance' friendly site or google in general.Thanks DP
