This could be me being a bit grumpy on a Sunday night. Are you guys getting as bored with all the tatting on here as I am.

The number of 1st posters selling something or another or posters sticking parts in threads other than parts.

If it is just me, I'll shut up :lol:

Tatting???? Is that summit from up Norff?

Yes it does pee me off slightly, especially when they leap straight in & can't be bothered to introduce themselves.

Hi Sean :)

Yes it annoys me as well....

Can you not say that a poster has to post a minimum of say...10 times before they can sell anything ?

All the best Brett :)

The popular culprits seem to be silly priced wheels and plates from non enthusiasts. Always seems bad taste for a first post - which is often an only post...

Hi :)

Its easy...

Just set the forum software to make the first 10 posts from a new user on Moderation...

The Moderator either Ok`s them or sends them an automated reply, telling them why the post wont appear...

We do it all the time on the Nitrous Forums I am an administrator on.... maybe 5 minutes a day of the Moderator or Administrators time...

As its usually the same suspects , it would decrease those posts drastically...

All the best Brett :)

Moderating the first 10 will affect all noobies - including none advertisers.

Elsewhere; We edit their post with a new message saying -

'Please make an introductory post as per the rules before advertising goods for sale.'


Thank you.

Then just lock the thread.

Sorry guys the minimum post limit is a waste of time. Several forums I'm on enforce the rule & all it results in is x amount of crap posts to ensure they reach the limit. At least one of these forums has scrapped the rule because of this.
