Hi everyone,
There have been some changes made in the For Sale section of the forum.
There is no more bumping or replying of posts allowed in any of the Classified sections. This is because the moderators dont have 5 hours a day to go through and remove off-topic and rubbish posts in these sections. It will also prevent Spam posts in the Classifieds section.
If you want to talk to a seller, PM, email or phone them. If your a seller and you want to make some updates or changes, edit your original post.
New users on the forum will have to make a minimum of 5 relevant posts on other sections of the forum, before they can even use the classifieds. This will also help to alleviate spam in the Classified section, and prevent people joining just to use the classifieds.
New users will also have to go through a verification process when they join. This involves anyone registering an account, having to type a string of characters that is automatically generated by the forum, in an image. Basically, this confirms that a human is joining the forum, not a spam bot.
Users who abuse the Classifieds section in any way, whether it be spam, irrelevant posts, or using the forum purely as a trading post rather than as an automotive community, will receive a "yellow card", and have their classified section access removed for 7 days.
This includes posting for friends who are not able to post in the section.
These changes have been put into place, to benefit those who want to use the forum as an automotive community and resource, and to prevent those who want to abuse the forums, from doing so.
If anyone has any problems with this, please PM your nearest moderator.
If pain persists, please see your doctor, or click Log Out on the top right of the forum.
