Yup. You have the terms and conditions right infront of you listed - as you "agree" to sign up. Perhaps, like some websites Win - you should implement a small flag that reads "IF entirely scrolled, then allow AGREE" ( if u understand what i mean lol). Besides, I get a fair few PM's per week from noob users - complaining that they cannot sell their car or sell items in the for sale section....*throws rule book at them*


OR maybe....we should hire some nazi-esque mods to control the world ? :D:rolleyes:

Hahaha, aren't you about as close as they come Mister:chartinael, you have an australian isp and post german pics ;-) Anyways, OzHonda seems to me to be a rather harmless board with not much spamming/e-thugging going on. I am amazed however, how "german" everything is meaning rules, rules, enforcement, engineering, defecting and the like.

We can actually answer them properly wifout making feel like sh!t sumtimes. to be honest... sum ppl can be real harsh to noobs, lol. Regarding post counts, if sumfing like this is setup, posts shouldn't count cos of spamming for sales, etc... so maybe a time restriction (say 2 weeks) so only posting in this area is allowed and they can still read other forums...

that's my coupla cents ;)

thats what i was trying to say lol

Good Idea... Stop em posting intros in the Accord Section :P

or even a month or so. if they need to sell something so bad they can use firesport or the trading post or whatever

I'll look into implementing this when I have a bit less to do (already have too much to do with OH.......aiya!)
