Classifieds Update - Important Information

[quantem_flux]

So basically you have to have posted 10 times elsewhere to use the classified section ?

Good job that is a new rule as I didn't post anything for nearly ten years then jumped on and started buying up kit. i had a great time at north v south too with my shiny setup

you could allso put in place a "guaranteea new member " like get two or more members to vouch for a new member in turn the two vouuching would have to say have over 300 posts

So, more work for unpaid MODS with real jobs who are attempting to make sure that all of the members are looked after and protected from fraudsters? Nice, but hard to enforce and lots of extra work wouldn't you say?

very good idea but it makes it hard for people like me to post as i am not good with forums?

Richard Newman Theres one post! You seem alright to me mate, just get stuck in. We arent trying to make it difficult for you guys, we are trying to make it difficult for someone to rip you lot off.

Any new members looking for post content, try giving us an introduction to yourselves - who you are, where you are, what got you into paintball, how much experience you have, what gear you already have, what attracts you to paintball and what you intend to play
It is common for new players to come on and ask what to get first or next
You can take advantage of a trading delay by gathering info and advice before jumping in and buying the first shiney thing you see

Good stuff.

Anyone who only comes on a forum to sell, isnt taking part in the community anyway. And forums are about community not selling stuff. Thats just a handy side effect of the community.

Haven't been around balling nor the sites, so this is the first time I see this upgrade. We can still request information about buyers/sellers prior to transaction from the mods/admins, can we?

cheers,

Depends what information you are asking for.

We won't give out personal details, If you are looking for a character reference we can offer an opinion but it doesn't mean we will be right. While the classified is still very safe, it is also at your own risk to send money or goods to someone you don't know and most likely won't meet....

Sorry, what I meant about information is that has he/she been reported for scamming, fraudulent activity, etc. Thank you for your answer.

Anyone reported/found to be scamming will probably have their classifieds access removed anyway at a minimum, and wont be able to sell anything, or even create/respond to threads in that section. However, yes, if you want to ask about someone, PM any of the active mods and we will be happy to help.
