Classifieds Section Changes

Although I kinda agree with you, I also think it is important to get involved in the nice little community we have going here. For those who don't like it, there is always junkmail and gumtree. No post count required. I prefer missing out on a deal to being scammed...

And also, rules are made for a reason. They would never have implemented it if there were no problems

I only discovered about this new rule when I tried to advertise my 18 month old laptop.

I normally only browse and read the forums. What I wanted to say normally been said when I read the article. Thus have a low post count.
I have already sold an cell phone in the past. A few years back. They transaction was done in person and money and cell phone exchanged in person.
I do understand the reason for the rule, as unfortunately there are those out there that want to harm others. Just look at my spam box. Yippee, won another UK lottery, if only...

Here is to quickly getting the post I need to be able to post my advert. Oh well....
 
I can't post on classifieds but I'm definitely way over 50 posts.

What should I do ?
Selling a 32" LG tv if anyone is interested.
 
:( Just saw that I can't flog my DIR-451 either... Over 50 posts, but still got two months to go...
 
Alrighty then. I have been a member since 2009 but havnt done much posting. I have bought & sold on the classifieds section before. So now I can advertise anymore. Gotta get my posting up! Got some to sell!
 
Ok I have 50 posts now. But i still can't post in the classifieds? I have been registered since 2009

I've even tried using Safari which I've never used before. No success. I get stuck in a loop...

Step 1: Sale
Step 2: Computer hardware
Step 3: Fill in info, pictures etc, push submit.

Wait wait wait.... Pictures upload to 100%, and then I get redirected back to step 1.... great.

Hi folks

Many members have complained that scammers are using the Classifieds section and that new guys often spam this section. To limit these problems we implemented a restriction where only members who have been registered for 3 months and have at least 50 posts can post ads in the Classifieds section.

We hope this will create a safer and friendlier environment for MyBroadband members to buy and sell goods.

Your feedback is most welcome.

:).......cool,there's too many scams out there.
 
Erm I have registered in August 2003 and have 745 posts and I cannot post a classified.
Please help.
I've also logged out and logged back in again.

you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

This is a pretty good idea.

I am also one of those guys that often reads articles in the forums, but doesn't post much.

More active on tow other forums :P, but this is still probably the best when it comes to news and current affairs
 
I think the site should make it easy to report spammers and those found guilty removed totally. Only responsible people should be here on this site. Easy navigation is key.

So is it currently difficult to report 'spammers'?
