I just realized that I've made it a year without hitting 200 posts. I read the forums a LOT, but often times I don't have anything to add so I don't comment. I need to up my post farming game 😉

It would've been much tougher as a newer collector to go this whole time without PM privileges; I've learned a lot through some discussions there in addition to regular threads. PMs have also been helpful to reach out to individuals for feedback on private watch listings, as it feels a bit taboo to start threads asking for feedback on watches that are for sale here on OF.

Well not really. I think it is fair enough to discuss watches that are for sale, away from the sales post itself. A little tact and politeness are necessary and desirable I think but I don't think it fair to say discussion of pieces for sale is verboten. That certainly isn't a forum rule AFAIK.

I have always understood the same as you. I have seen it done and providing, as you say, it is done tactfully and in an honest way outside of the actual sales post then I see no issues.

What are we discussing ? In the private sales section, there are topics about selling watches from participants with posts of less than 200 . Or am I confusing something ?

Those are members who joined before the 200 post minimum was established, they are grandfathered in.

Listed watches here are open game just like everywhere else. 👍
As has been said many times, “start a thread, not in the FS listing”

Have been several over the years.

Precisely, the only time we delete critique of a watch if its in the listing itself or if its plainly wrong / false

While we're on the subject of free riders and restrictions, I think the threads "recommended watches on Ebay" should be restricted access -- 1000 posts and two years of membership to be able to view those threads.
Right now any lurker and their brother can get free purchase recommendations.

They also might learn what the title means by then and save a lot of housecleaning chores.

Yeah. He can fυck right off. Banned his account.

I find the best forums are the ones where you can say fυck and no ones panties get twisted....


EDIT: and I upped my post count by 1.....

He owns the forum, so he can say what he wants. 😉

You could probably use 🤬 for now......
