As many have noted, changes to the forum like removing the 2nd Amendment Section resulted in members having their post count reduced. It appears that any pruning we do of the forum will mean the membership will constantly lose posts in their count. There is nothing we can do about it that I know of. (remember I am learning <acronym title="vBulletin" style="border-width: 0px 0px 1px; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); cursor: help; color: rgb(39, 39, 39); background-color: rgb(240, 240, 240); ">vB</acronym> as we go also,I have very limited answers in this respect )
Because this impacts Full Membership we have decided to adjust the limits to the software will still Promote the membership regardless of the post count. What we have done is set the promotion so it will consider your registration date not just your post count. If you are registered for 45 days you will be promoted to Full Membership. If you make 100 posts you can also be promoted to Full Membership. if you are a long time member and we prune the forum and you lose posts, your time on board will still count.
There are other options we can use, and if we see people trying to game the system we will adjust this so newer members will have to put time in as well as post. If we see a rash of 45 day members with only 1 post putting ads up we'll adjust it so you have to have posts and time not one or the other. The reality is, if you make 3 posts a day you can be at 100 in no time at all.
With the For Sale Section as always, Buyer's and Sellers Beware !
There are people who will attempt to take advantage of you. Protect yourself at all times as we will not be responsible for transactions gone bad. Our only recourse is to ban the offending party. This does not get you made whole in any way it just limits the damage to you and no one else. (Hopefully)
So to follow up, Full Membership = 45 days registered on the site OR 100 posts
The other options is to pay $20 for 21 days access to the New Member For Sale Section
Either will allow you to list an item for sale on SH.
