OK, we just finalized whats going to happen to the Marketplace/Classifieds.

In order to post you need to meet at least one of the following requirements:

• Member of the site for at least 45 days
• Post Count of 300 or more
• Be a Premier Member. To become a Premier member click here.

I'm running the scripts now on the backend to update the user information that will allow those members that meet the requirements to post.

 

Thanks Godzilla, I like that set of rules. Much appreciated.

 

That seems to be much more reasonable. Kudo's to the admins!

 

great idea.

 

What if you are a premier member but do not have 300 posts. I like the idea but I have paid for the membership and should be allowed access.

 

like it is stated you must meet at least 1 of the requirements.

 

You are allowed access. You qualify already for 2 of the 3 requisites (and you only need 1 of them).

 

me likey breadsticks!

hahahaha good stuff, that'll help out alot from the friggen scammers =(
i think a good sercurity system would be able to track there ip's go to there house and lay a my350Z smackdown on him and his car
then post it here for laughs for the people who couldn't make the party

 

sounds good.

 

now this will shut those run to other board to complain about this. Geez.

 

Thanks guys......I should RTFQ next time. Duh!

 

I've been coming here for years with a low post count.. can't see the section and I needs some cats, badly. wtf?

 

But you've been here for more than 45 days and have over 300 posts, right? You should be able to see it... if not, let us know so the scripts can be tweaked.

 

Marketplace link at the top

 

You admin guys really stay on the dime. You are constantly recreating the forum, keeping it fresh, and intriquing. MARKETPLACE criteria IS A GREAT CONCEPT. Thanks, you can take the rest of the day off.

 

The only thing I'll say is that where ever the Marketplace used to be (in the forum index), it would be a *nice* idea to put back the same category name (whatever that was exactly, I'd have to look, but I'd guess it was called "Marketplace"). Under that category, have only one "forum" listed (be creative) and instead of it being a forum, have it just link to the Marketplace area. I think it will be just lost and possibly dead (deader than it should be) if it's just a link at the top.

Also, I wondered what hack that was as it gives me an idea for a forum I run (no, not a car one). I might modify it a bit to show links instead of being forums like here.

 

It's already done- Look below the OT forum

 

?

Awsome job guys...

But remember just because people have 300 posts or been here for 45 days dosent mean they still wont scam you. Just helps prevent those oppurtunistic scammers..
