Under 100 posts :( - connorp - 06-05-2015
Can I please have the ban lifted? There's so many things I need to buy and ask people about but I can't due to me posting under 100 times.
I know this probably won't happen but cheers anyway

It's under review at the minute, rules may get changed or if you're lucky Niall or Fooby may see this, in the mean time just continue to get involved, why not start a project thread? Easy way to get your post count up
RE: Under 100 posts :( - highwayman306 - 06-05-2015
Yeah mate, write up a thread asking the questions you have and your post count will increase in no time

you joined in Dec2014....thats 5 months ago...
34 posts, average of 6.8 posts a MONTH! Most of us post that many per DAY!
Get involved and you would have a 100 very quickly
It's nice to know who we are dealing with when parts and money is involved, so lets get to know you and your project
RE: Under 100 posts :( - 7057sam - 06-05-2015
pretty of decent project threads you can comment on as well as introducing yourself in the newbie section

Some of us make 3 times as many per day....eh Piggy...
I must admit though, not everyone has as much to say, even I've found it hard building a post count on the Ford Forums! Hence why I think the current limit is too high, but obviously that's under reform anyway.

Cheers for all the advice, I'll hopefully start a project thread tonight, I just need to take pictures of everything!!

RE: Under 100 posts :( - cully - 06-05-2015
some just talk shit to get there post to 14,873 dont they tom
RE: Under 100 posts :( - highwayman306 - 06-05-2015
I think he has some parts to sell too, there's been a thread discussing the limitations about this. I shouldn't take long to get the posts up, took me a month, maybe less.
RE: Under 100 posts :( - fgrc76 - 06-05-2015
My car will be scrapped by the time I reach 100
RE: Under 100 posts :( - lolsteve - 06-05-2015
Go over to the MG ZR project thread and make "headgasket!" & " should have bought a gti6!" jokes
that's what a lot do

That is a very good point... Newbies are being penalised for using the search function instead of making new threads...

Yeah, as Tom says, you do have a point there...
RE: Under 100 posts :( - Deangatt - 06-05-2015
Only way is to get involved and ask questions when needs be, seems to be working so far
RE: Under 100 posts :( - Mattcheese31 - 06-05-2015
I have voted to remove certain restrictions so hopefully that will take effect soon, we do need a little something in place to give us time to spot scammers though, it's fir everyone's benefit at the end of the day
RE: Under 100 posts :( - Dum-Dum - 06-05-2015
I think the idea of the limit is to make sure people contribute to the forum before using it to sell or feeling it's full benefit. The limit might still be dropped to 50 rather than removed so you may still need some more posts.
RE: Under 100 posts :( - Eeyore - 06-05-2015
Its to stop people coming on here just to sell things or just to rip off other members. The idea being that by the time you get to 100 posts you are a part of the community, we know you better and its more effort than the average scammer is likely to put in...

This is exactly the reason why the restriction is in place however a lot of people do not seem to like it hence why i have put the vote out to the public.

RE: Under 100 posts :( - Deangatt - 06-05-2015
Yea even I can't go on the for sale section and I don't mind waiting till I get my 100 posts lol even tho I would love a look! It's seems wise to have a restriction as yous say anyone could be on ripping people off

RE: Under 100 posts :( - fgrc76 - 06-05-2015
So am I right in thinking anyone with less than 100 posts, can't even look on the for sale section ?
Sorry if it sounds a bit dumb, only I can look in it
RE: Under 100 posts :( - Niall - 06-05-2015
You can look, you just can't post.

I see, to be honest if I vote I'd say lower it slightly or keep it as it is, there's to many scammers out there
