So, one guy did this and we changed the rules?

There will always be people finding ways to beat the system. Just ask any hacker worth their salt. Unfortunately putting rules in place will only inconvenience those of us that try to follow the rules. The problem lies with the dishonest people.

I would trust som one with posts over 50-100 then 1-20. But you never know who is out there to scam people. Actually I trust more people here then actually any other place. Because it comes down to MORALS. Youhave to live with yourself and your username on this board.

I remember a time that Harvey sent me a kalk Reactor before i even paid him. that is trust.

Or any thing its like a big family that you can talk with.

But what really pee's me off are the people that ask questions after questions on things that you have already given them the answer too. people that have 20 + pages on their tank and there is nothing in in or look at my tank look how great it is and not contribute to the board.
IT"S ALL about THEM.

Srry I t got me going
any ways im out of here going to bed ......

Im starting to type without error must be getting tired

NIGHT CANREEF FAMILY

Multiple accounts does not sound like the work of a new member.

I have to say that I have purchased some very nice items from people with less than 10 posts. There's no post limit for the Buy & Sell or the newspaper. If even a few of those people who come here to sell or buy like what they see and stay to contribute then that helps all of us.

Well it is certainly nice to hear that we do have good people selling good items on this board.

And yes there are no limits to Buy & Sell because they charge a fee for listing. I'm looking at the fees now. $2.99 for 3 ads for 1 week. $40.00 for 1 photo ad for 2 weeks. I'd certainly think twice before dishing out $40.00 for a photo ad, which is free here thanks to our sponsors. Also, we are not interested in just making money here from Buy/Sell. The board was setup to promote discussions.

Thank you to everyone for their constructive comments and logical arguments on this one. We have decided to remove the restriction to users with 25 posts or more, on the buy/sell forums. These forums should now be accessible to all users. If you find yourself having difficulty accessing those forums (or any other) please let myself or one of the other staff members know.

We have also posted some guidelines, or recommended practises, for posts within the buy/sell forums. We hope that these guidelines will provide direction for proper use of the forums.

If you have any concerns or questions, or suggestions on how to improve the site, please let us know. Thanks.

PS. There are still server issues and unfortunately it is currently out of our control. It is as frustrating to the staff members as it is to everyone else ... please bear with us in the meantime.
