Being a new member here and having less than 200 posts, I have to abide by the restriction t0 not posting in the FS sections. However I have to ask how the following post occurred: https://omegaforums.net/threads/omega-chrono-cal-860-in-fantastic-condition-–-incl-extracts.85278/ Not trying to rain on the seller, just asking has the rule been relaxed?
The opposite. There used to be a way to apply for dispensation, now there isn’t. Presumably this guy got the OK before the recent rule change, existing permissions weren’t pulled. Not exactly a quality contributor though with 50 posts in 2 years.
yepp. this one for example. the rule was even last edited after the member. edit: wrong link, let me search again.
It really doesn't take that long to build up a post count of meaningful posts - two or three weeks. Share some of your knowledge. Comment on stuff that interests you. If you aren't interested in watches, and don't want to contribute, then try ebay.
So you are trying to rain on the seller because the only reason you ask is you would like to sale also?!? Your intentions aren’t to look out for the OF community, correct?
so this is a rule applied to your account then I assume. Thought it was a single Procedure for each and every request. Would explain it.
Moderators - please take me off the enrolled member list. I will not bother anyone anymore. Apparently the members here are so touchy that I cannot ask a question without causing a firestorm. I am just tired of the internet crap!
It’s not crap... it was recent change due to some issues, that seems have been implemented a little different then we thought. Basically the 200 post rule was for the protection of buyers. Some established dealers and well known members from other forums where given an exception as they where verified and trusted. Then a few of them messed it up and forced the closure of the other exception, which most members where happy about as it did not adversely affect them as they had more posts then the requirement. The comments are due to a forum admin staff that normally has great transparency, but in this case people are curious as to why the change was not implemented the way it was assumed. This has nothing to do with you. The forum staff also thought this was being abused by dealers and flippers that provided no content or information to a forum about sharing information and discovering information about a wide variety of brands save 2... Invicta and Seiko which deserves its own sub forum!!!!! Sales posting on this forum is provided for contributors not for dealers primarily.
