RULES Want to buy posts "WTB" rules.

Could everyone please read the rules. Specialy if your posting a reply to a post.

"If you answer a want to buy, you must post a price and picture if needed.
Regular forum rules apply."

 

I don't see how my post was against the WTB rules.

 

Rule from the original marketplace are good for here also I think..

 

Maggs posting on the marketplace forums is a privilege not a right. Untill you make a positive contribution to the forums you will not be allowed to post in these sections.

 

Yep, it's covered under this section of that sticky:

To be fair, it might be an idea to put the same sticky (or info therein) in the WTB forum, as it does give a better idea of expected behaviour for newcomers (who being new, might not have ventured into the sale side of the marketplace yet).

I was wondering about that, too. You could adopt a single thread with a title along the lines of "Joe Bloggs WTB list", but then you lose the headline effect of asking for a particular item. Can the board software handle title changes, or is that just technically not possible?

 

I think the idea behind this was to avoid someone making multiple thread within only hours.

It safe I think to create a new thread once your previous one isn't showing on the first page of the WTB forum.

 

Please stop posting ebay links as replies. If people were looking to buy on ebay im sure they are capable of searching ebay or looking at the ebay thread.

 

ok, sorry.

often i read things like "damn, i missed that auction!" so i thought it would help the user but i wont do it again, promised!

 

I apologize also,

I did it once to try and help, and thanks was given..but now i see that post was nuked.

Won't happen again, will keep that for pm.



peace

Why do people keep asking where their posts went in a rules sticky?

See here, people!!

I got away with a WTB (I think I was looking for a Jaguar) when I had <50 (wasn't a 'new' account, just hadn't really ever posted). I was under the impression that, going by the rules listed in Kev's post above, it was legal.

Maybe I just got lucky?

 

What are you trying to acheive with this rant? You admit that you are guilty of the very thing you are moaning about.

The reality is that nobody with any sense is going to sell a current gen dev kit (which most of the requests are for) to somebody who has just joined the forum for fear of getting creamed for selling "not for sale" hardware.

Just my opinion.

Oh yeah also the 1 bump a week rule is blatantly disregarded in WTB thread. I dont really care about that either though.

 

I can't edit the topic of my WTB thread - so it's pretty much useless in posting just one WTB thread when i can't update the topic so that i can be seen in the Forum.

Is there an option to solve this problem?

 

If you email one of the mods I am sure they will change your thread title for you. Paulo has been most helpful for me in the past. :nod:

 

Sounds good - i gave that a try and contacted Paulo.

 

Done.

 

I changed the title of my WTB thread but I don't see it, the old title remains, why is that? How do I change it? Thanks alot.
