On a side note, I've been registered almost two years. I have learnt a lot from the forum in that time, but don't post a lot due to actually searching before posting mostly... My contributions as a newbie wouldn't (and probably couldn't) be considered constructive. By definition as a newbie to land rovers, how can I post constructive and helpful advice to others when I've come here to learn?

I had a for sale post in the correct parts for sale forum area, and complying to all the rules for a few months, up until a week or so ago when it was deleted. Presumably because you've introduced the new 50 post rule and moved the goalposts.

I'm not seeing how this is "fair" in any way. I could, like others presumably must now do, spam the forum with "I like this idea. How do you <insert random crap here>" posts but really, what's the point?

You've penalised those that use the forum as it should be used - for research before posting YET ANOTHER post that people will simply jump on with a "search the forum ffs" reply...

Seems the new guys cant win now :/

PS - my Spam sandwich with ketchup is still for sale...

I don't agree that the forum is here for people to use for research, if users did not contribute useful information then there would be nothing to research.

The social side of LZ is as important as the technical side. Especially when it comes to the 50 post rule because it gives people a chance to get to know you a little.

The 'constructive' element is more about interacting with other members so while 50 posts in 'Word Association' won't cut it they don't have to be advice on stripping a gearbox.
 
I totally see that perspective. But you (as a community) encourage searching before posting. If people post before searching for common questions, then they are generally ridiculed.

So - to tolerate the ridicule to get the post count up solely to gain access to the for sale section, or to stay quiet, learn, but be denied access. What a dilemma...

The wise man has long ears and a short tongue after all.

Yeah but it's hilarious when they tolerate the ridicule and then some bastid resets their post count when they get to 49 :)

Of course there is another way. Just join in the forum.

I see what your saying but.......


You can't please everyone. The rule works for the bigger user group. Sorry that dosent include you at the moment but thats life hey? ;):(

Its better for us that we miss out on your spam sandwich and don't get ####ed around by w**kers trying to make a quick buck(not saying you are)

On the plus side, neither do you when you buy something from someone else on here.

Well yes :eek: But it does highlight my point nicely.

From your post it's fairly obvious that you have a sense of humour and consider yourself part of a community......I'm starting to think I may prefer to risk buying something off you rather than someone who just whinges about not being allowed to sell.....

Dunno about that ratty though he just seems like a nasty, vicious bastid :D
 
I don't know why people are so worked up about becoming part of this group. Some can't handle the **** taking. Some decry the rules for selling stuff. Some don't like the fact that some are racist and others are lefty looney tunes.

Here's the down low for those who would consider joining LZ. I certainly wouldn't join a group that would allow someone like me to join. Think about it.

Can I have that in engrish.com:D
 
I thought we all hated each other and the only reason we hung about the forum is so that we can sell the junk that we've accumulated. You t**ts

Oh, so now there is a faction that wants members to use a common language. :rolleyes:

Standards of English in uk are awful.

The word "the" is facing dumbing down
Example
"Come into the branch" now "come in branch"

That and you tell someone to sod off and stop annoying you-they send you a text claiming false allegations of harassment.
