90 days+reputation to post "for sale" thread

[Spec_R]

90 days to become a member to be able to sell?? i dont know but do anyone think this rule is bit too much? not to mention you have to have aleast 1 reputation point??

as far as i know im new to forum so i have to wait 90 days and if i dont make a useful DIY thread i will never get any rep point so i wont be able to make thread in for sale section. :(

i got some stuff to sell too bad i have to wait 90 days and make a DIY thread to get rep, im just into honda now as i dont know much about it, i wont be able to make any useful post to get rep :(

90 days + rep is just too much, i understand what the forum trying to do (no one have a shop load of stuff to sell everyday to consider as abusing). i just bought a honda, I join to be part of the forum, i dont own a business how am i class as abusing the forum for sale purpose?

maybe a change?

[dc2dc2dc2]

because u get alot of people just joining the site and just selling their stuff then *kapish* they are gone without a trace. :)

still 3months not to mention at least a reputation? i mean i came from nissan just bought a honda civic as far as i know nothing much bout honda, nearly all the good DIY thread is been done. how can i even earn a rep?

also that because they dont owed a honda and plus selling stuff relating to honda is beneficial to the honda forum.

[aaronng]

This rule was to prevent people from signing up just to sell an item. It has worked well.

[Int3gra-T]

y0 its a rule, abide it ??
if u wanna sell your stuff, try ebay i heard there quite good :)

[Spec_R]

beside ozhonda forum there are literally thousands of other places to advertise and sell

eg. if someone sells a honda car say wouldnt u want him to advertise in this forum
(there's someone written under this section he want to sell his honda sadly he's not official member yet. I'm sure if he advertise here it would be easy for the honda enthusiant .

[Spec_R]

sure i understand the point but hey won't 1month is the same to prove u are honda enthusiant instead 3months+rep.

[DreadAngel]

THere is other ways of earning rep, rep doesn't mainly come from DIY threads, Rep is given in technical sections of the forum, if someone deems your post is worth of a pt, then you will be rewarded...

[Int3gra-T]

thats true, i got mine from paint codes :)
im not really a DIY type of person, due to my lack of knowledge,

[Spec_R]

well that's just too bad then cos i know nothing about honda to give out useful advise. Just bought a civic im new into this world have more to learn than to give advise.

i still think 3months rep is too much
1month is more than than enough

[Int3gra-T]

well lets say u run into a problem,
u write down the problem, the noticable effect,
and how u went about to fixit, EG mechanic, and price etc.
maybe someone will give u a rep point,.

[ACTI0NMAN-1]

sure i understand the point but hey won't 1month is the same to prove u are honda enthusiant instead 3months+rep.

nobody wants to ba a 'honda enthusiant' *wink wink*

its an in joke

[Spec_R]

[Int3gra-T]

Vtec just kicked in Yo!

[Int3gra-T]

lol this is useless

WooOoooppp DAa woooPpp.

[Spec_R]

well lets say u run into a problem,

u even said "maybe":)
whats the odd compare to time?

Well, i made a thread on "introduction section" about me is that counted?

[ACTI0NMAN-1]

if they dont want too then what are they doing here?? better yet why make the forum for specific for honda??

nevermind, you missed the joke.

[Int3gra-T]

did people say hello?

[Spec_R]

nevermind, you missed the joke.

no, i got ur joke:)
just wanted to emphasized;)

[Eclipsor]

If you read the forums for a while chances are you will learn a thing or two about hondas and are are bound to get a rep point or two.

yar, u go from knowing nothing such as yourself,
to becoming me, knows a lil bit,
or expect like ECU man or something - damn pro.

you dont have to noe much about hondas to be given a rep
some ppls may ask advice on things like weather somethign is legal
etc etc

and u can answer and u will recieve a point if someone sees it as a good post
just be a contributing member and u will sooner or later be able to sell

[Spec_R]

yar, u go from knowing nothing such as yourself,

yeah t i can learn but the rep already when to that person that already posted. Can't repost the same thing or you be told to use the search function

eg. making another DIY thread already cover or another technical advise already covered

[dc2dc2dc2]

well buddy u've owned a car before....most car problems which occur are very simliar so im sure u could help someone who is having car related problems. Or show some kind of knowledge to get a rep point.

stop sooking if u got a problem then leave the forum simple as that man.

[Spec_R]

did you know babies come from Mars?

come on somebody rep me up:)

this is like trial in work place, you have to do 3months casual before you can be a full-time worker

[Int3gra-T]

lol pwned !

[DreadAngel]

I didn't know anything when I came, I still don't know much but I was repped for something I've learnt and passed on to others, try harder mate and you'll be a 'member', but really its not anything special save able to sell stuff, otherwise it grants you nothing else from the normal users...

YOUR BEING A TOTAL IDIOT

is nothing special to sell stuff=wrong
there is a guy in this section(new member wanted to sell his, im sure there is a member wanted to buy it)

providing a first choice sale to your honda fellow member is better than advertising in the paper

when us forum need honda stuff where is the first place to search of course the forum then others.

[DreadAngel]

Stupidity like this gets you nowhere and fast, the rules are there cause its as stated to ward off anyone wanting free place to sell and advertise. As I mentioned membership isn't a big thing...

How is it wrong? You've got other media that you can use to sell your things? If its a private deal, PM and there you bypass the marketplace...

Is it really that big a deal to sell something? Or to have that member title beneath your username?!

man you been here longer than me (no offense) but you must know this is the disscussion section(suggestion/opinion) now you see where im at?

if a member wanted to buy something and ONLY wanted to source it from the forum the well.....
ummmm thats y we have a WTB section
and newcomers can deal with it through PM

[tRipitaka]

you agreed to the T+C, so u're going to have to live by it..

if you really have a problem with it, pm the administrator and he'll get back to you..
i very much doubt that he'll change the policy though..

to sell/become a member, it used to be a certain time period + 50 posts.. people abused it, spammed everywhere, posted a sale.. and as soon as it was sold.. they disappeared..
so this new rule came in..

if you urgently need to sell something, try firesport, ebay, tradingpost etc. if not, then earn ur right..

i know exactly why their's this rule and i respect it by all means but im just saying even 1 month is is good to prove you are honda enthusiant not to mention the rep

[DreadAngel]

1 Month is very very quick, 3 Months isn't too long either... It'll take you about 2-3 Months to get noticed and receive a rep+ anyway... I think its perfectly placed, not too long, not too short...

dude i not in urgent of selling anything im not here just to sell, i just owed a civic (join to seek and shared knowledge)
as i said before there is thousands of place to sell than here so pls dont tell me about ebay etc.....

i know and understand exactly why forum have this rule but i just saying 1 month is still work.

THIS IS JUST MY OPEN SUGGESTION/OPINION AS THIS SECTION IS ALL ABOUT

sorry for the caps but read me out before u reply

[Kandy]

i know and understand exactly why forum have this rule but i just saying 1 month is still work.

THIS IS JUST MY OPEN SUGGESTION/OPINION AS THIS SECTION IS ALL ABOUT I'm sure your suggestion/opinion will be considered, but as member status was reviewed very recently I doubt changes would be made.
Most of the people that view these forums are happy with the current time frame and requirements to becoming a member and it works for OzHonda so far...
Good luck on becoming a member, as others have stated, all it takes is to read a few threads, and to reply with helpful information and you'll eventually get a rep point.

[vtec_jet]

if u really wana just sell sumthing . . just use

firesport.com

simple?

[Q_ball]

Ditto :)

[JasonGilholme]

Fella's. I think he gets that he won't be able to sell anything until 3 months +rep. He also knows that theres other places to sell stuff.

All he wants is to have his suggestion noted. (Which i believe it has anyway)

Welcome to the forum too dude. :thumbsup:

[civicem1]

hey can someone tell me why i can't sell. I don't want to sell anything right now, but i believe that i've been on this forum for longer than three months, i have a rep point and i have a positive feedback point from a seller. can somebody help me (mod)?

[Zdster]

You dont have any reputation points.

[Limbo]

you got a trader rating not a rep point.

Just to let you know i managed to get rep points and i wasn't even trying.

I don't even post in the DIY places. I just give 2c advise once in a while ;)

[xtercii]

if you got hectic stuff for sale at an unbeatable price I mite give u a rep pt…:D :D :D

[whtteg]

ok Spec R im a newbie 2,
i joined this forum 2 learn not sell stuff 2 ppl who have wot they need 4 their hondas or know where 2 find what they need, if u need 2 sell parts check the wanted 2 buy threads maybe some1 might want something u want 2 sell.
i dont get why your having such a winge...

[bennjamin]

Anyone caught giving out false rep points will get a stern warning (strike against their name). Our rep system is serious and any jokers will be dealt with.

Rep is for the technical and model specific forums only ~ no where else guys.

[barefootbonzai]

yeah it seem like it's almost impossible to become a member these days unless you got nothing better to do at work like myself.

Lots of my mates complain, but oh wells what can ya do.

[destrukshn]

lots of people complain.. but you'll get it if you really want it.
lol.

[Zdster]

The number of points that I give out is ridiculous. Basically, make a somewhat helpful post in the noob forum and you will eventually get a point from me.

[rtsnoz]

hey dude, If ya dont wanna sell anything what ya worrying about?

I've been here for AGGEESS (not quite sure how long)... I don't usually have much to add to threads. I might've said one or 2 good things - maybe? But hey, I don't care if i'm a "member" or not. I'm here for the usefull advice etc!

Deal with it - or leave?

[JasonGilholme]

rtsnoz - you've been ehre since december 05 ;)

[Paul1985]

Thats what we need. People to notice the noobs trying to be helpful and give rep points..

I think that mods every so often should go through the technical areas and read through some of the threads just to hand out rep points where rep is deserved.

[rtsnoz]

rtsnoz - you've been ehre since december 05 ;)

Hehe, yeh i know - i just couldn't remember when i wrote the post :)

[JasonGilholme]

yeh, there needs to be some reppage handed down.

[Zdster]

If you see a good post, you are welcome to PM me and I will hand out extra points as well.

[Stoosh]

whats needed is another group of about 10 members whos job is to give out the rep points (kinda like a moderator with very limited powers), the forum moderators have enough to deal with let alone giving rep points

[Eclipsor]

But anyone can give out rep points. And it only takes 1 for a new member to be able to sell dosn't it?

[Spec_R]

when its christmas im officially a member...i hope

[ECU-MAN]

yes 1 and 3 months

[bennjamin]

whats needed is another group of about 10 members whos job is to give out the rep points (kinda like a moderator with very limited powers), the forum moderators have enough to deal with let alone giving rep points

its part of a Moderators discretion to decide whether or not a post deems rep given out. And , its also up to you as the member to decide whether to give rep. This place is what WE make it :)

[Spec_R]

so i heard 10 rep points and you become a moderator?

[Paul1985]

But anyone can give out rep points. And it only takes 1 for a new member to be able to sell dosn't it?
Everyone can hand out points, BUT it only adds to your rep when users that have enough rep give it to you (green dot, unsure how many posts they need for it to count).

[bennjamin]

so i heard 10 rep points and you become a moderator?

No that is not correct at all ;)

[Zdster]

Everyone can hand out points, BUT it only adds to your rep when users that have enough rep give it to you (green dot, unsure how many posts they need for it to count).

You need 20 points for the reputation points you give to count.

[aaronng]

so i heard 10 rep points and you become a moderator?
No you don't.

[Spec_R]

btw stuff of mine is sold, but i still would like to be a member earlier, i heard many other been here a while with rep still not member yet and cant even sell, is that true??

by the time im a member i think i'll be old with white hair......

i got a green dot but it say "Spec_R is an unknown quantity at this point"
does this mean i got a rep point its a green dot under my nick

[ECU-MAN]

you have a few rep points, yuo just have to wait it out now

[bennjamin]

*sigh*

you are NOT a member , because you have not been registered with our site for more than 90 days. What does it matter if you "cant sell" - IMO , if you come to our website jsut to sell, you are not welcome and will not enjoy your short stay. Hang in there , you are only 2 months until you are "MEMBER"

[Spec_R]

You need 20 points for the reputation points you give to count.
so you are saying only people with 20 points can give rep points to other?
thats even more impossible to get point, i see most is 7 points so i guess i'll never ever get any points, no one i see got 20 points

[ECU-MAN]

what part of "you have a few points" dont you understand



point is no longer a problem for you

20 PQ points is not hard to get either

[bennjamin]

Yes , jsut hang in there and soon enough....*TIME* heals all wounds :)
