Hi. My name is Ben. I am a user upon this nice forum.
But i have a problem.
There are far too many users ( if you can call them that) signing up , using our bandwidth for free posting and hosting for selling of goods. Not just their own...but almost in" commercial" level proportions.
How do we solve these" free loaders" ?
For one , enable an " minimum postage" - requiring minimum input to post in the "for sale" section etc. Its a basic idea...but i guess these guys can simply post whore until the level is met ( even in one night etc ) and continue to flog off their " umm , dis-continued car project - so i am selling 3 sets of camshafts , 2 computers, 24 sets of spoon socks " etc.
What these people dont understand ( and many of us others) is that this forum is a free (well , almost) forum that DOSENT have to exist , its only up to the very mods and creators to keep it up and running , with no profit towards themselves. ( perhaps...have a national MODs day ...umm...mabye bot :P)
And...to go through the enitre process of signing up , wiating for emails etc etc ONLY to KNOW you are here to flog off ur goods and make a cheap buck - NOT to "spread the love" to other honda lovers around just makes me feel so bad. I know people like this. Im sure you all do - not that i hate them as people BUT i hate them for their cause.
PLEASE reply to this post...as it is imperitive that we address this - as this domain can become so much more than " www.ozhonda-free-selling+profits.com "
