Classifieds....

[teddydove]

Can anyone tell me how long it takes to be able use the Classifieds?..I am after some parts to finish some bikes off and have stuff to sell on plus giveaways after a garage clear out.
I dont really get the point off having to earn the right to use the classified page with a points system?.

Is just so people dont join just to sell dodgy items, most people who do that couldnt be bothered to wait to become a proper onown member of the forum first

Just go and have an argument in the politics section, you'll soon have enough posts under your belt.

Mmm, don't try to make any sense though...you'll be torn apart by amateur pedantics of the highest deluded calling and before you know it, you'll be a racist, misogynistic homophobe

...amateur pedantics...

Is it possible to take up pedantry as a profession? If so, I missed my calling!

It's a typical rule of every forum I have encountered.

Oooh, I think so, yes. Just need to get on a reality TV show and then you get a free newspaper column and / or slot on daytime TV. Risky though...generally have to come across as massively offensive...Katy Hopkins et al.

Say hello to each newbie who come onto the site, post a pics of your bike, join the chain association.

Post count is easy...

Not sure you get to see those until you get a few points. Just as well as most new users would run away with a look of fear in their eyes.

Back to the question . How many posts you need to be able to post in classyfieds section? I'm a newbie on here as well and just saw something out there I need in my live.

Our classifieds are not a general Internet trading post and access has always been a privilege that needs to be earned.

It's not based solely on your post count either, there are other qualifying factors too.

Just use the forums normally - join in with the rest of our community and chat about cycling, and you'll soon earn access to the classifieds forums. It will be awarded naturally as you participate.

Cheers,
Shaun

As per the email I sent you - you already have access to the Classifieds forums.
