		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

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

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.

		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

		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.

		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.
