Just thought i would give a heads up on the classifides as it looks like this forum is still one of the few where anyone can post a for sale thread.
Just been on edition 38 and they have clamped down HARD on their classifide area, so the worrying news is that people who want to scam may now come around here more often then we want :angry:
Hopefully not, as the vast moajoirty of people who i have dealt with have been fantastic.
But just a heads up as i know both editon and ukmkivs have post limits etc, not saying this thread needs it as i feel it works well and sometimes common sense needs to come into play :grin:
Keep your eyes open guys and gals :afro:
-
yeah i noticed this the other day, i like the rule they have that if a ad is made with out a pic with your name in then it will simply be locked and the thread text changed into the sales rules.
seems a good way to clamp down on people selling stuff with no pics/proof and also a good way to make everyone aware of the rules.
but as said ive never been scammed on here so this place seems oryt at the moment, will just have to see if more people come over here now edition is clamping down.

He's double bluffing :lipsrsealed: :grin: :grin: :grin:
-
Not just individuals either!
-
Ye good idea but seems like the majority of the threads have been locked without people knowing which is a bit out of order.
Not too fussed tbh as I still think tho forum is one of the easiest and let simplistic forums I've been on so tend to just stick with this :)
Just on a look out for a couple of things so gotta make sure I don't rush into anything now from "new members" :wink:
-
...... becuase too many people moaned about the rules. :grin:
Parts of that forum are great, there's some good people on their and some very impressive cars, but damn do the admins like to throw their toys out of the pram a lot!

I love the Admin here!

i started a thread about that and hoping all the people dont come over here and start moaing or more improtantly all the scammers who wont be able to post on there come over to this forum :cry: :cry:
but ye agree they went from one extreme to the other :grin:
-
I think they've picked up their toys and re-instated them. :grin:

I just posted straight after the ''for sell'' section went online. Forgot to add a picture with my user name :lipsrsealed:
-
so were is the for sale section on 38
-
I have no problem with the rules except the put your phone number in it one. And when i said that in one of the other threads Mr Sweetland said he didnt see a problem with it unless i wanted to scam someone!
I've sold many times on E38 an i pre empted there rule about putting a pic of yourself with the item for a few things so im pretty pissed off that was his response.
I just dont want my private number out for all to see, i said why not just supply phone numbers through PM

You won't be adding nothing to E38 classifieds with only 3 posts.
Going on your current posts per year you will be able to post in the year 2350 :grin:

that's some serious clampdown on there!
-
Agreed, 200 posts is a bit harsh (only because I only have 99 posts and have sold plenty on there in the past).
Bugger.
Aside from that, picture with your username is a good idea, a lot of the rules they have are sensible.

Phone number on an advert on the internet is a no-no for me. I've used a cheap/free payg phone and a spare SIM card before when selling cars on Autotrader etc, but it means carting another phone with me and charging it. I'm fooked if I'm going through that hassle when selling a few old car parts...
Also, they will get peeps posting any old crap in the bar and readers rides replies, just to get their count over 200...
:smiley:

+1 innit!
I honestly thought it would get better when Herr Steve Sweetland moved on, but now I'm not so sure.
-
It's worse, I genuinely fear being banned again every time I post!

the knob has struck again
http://www.edition38.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=436027&st=60&gopid=4291134&#entry4291134
mods probably will delete that thread like they usually do and no one would be any wiser
-
Ha! Wondered if you'd seen that.
Who's the knob though really...... Perhaps the one sending a £700 cheque to someone off the internets!

Ain't that the truth!

As if he is from Stoke on Trent too (the Scammer). I probably know people who know him tbh.

Hopefully I can say what I want without getting told off for instigating vigilantism...
Ryan needs a good beating so he can learn he's not untouchable with stuff like this. It's the only way he'll stop. It's been proved the police can't/won't touch him so why bother going through the proper channels?
On the subject of ED38, I won't be posting anything for sale on there if you have to put your phone number, they'll be wanting a full DNA profile soon.
You couldn't try and organise a group buy on there either, well not unless you were a paid sponser which I always found strange
-
they'll be wanting a full DNA profile soon.
We request, where possible, that you use a photo of your face on your avatar, thankyou!
:shocked:
-
Hasn't he had a few slaps off people already? One of them being a user on here, and not learnt his lesson
Maybe a few slaps are worth a few hundred quid.
The problem is people being sooooo feckin naive!
-
Perhaps someone should use his picture and create a facebook profile for him.

Just make up a mobile number for the purpose of the ad, state that preferred mode of contact is via PM, e-mail or reply to the thread.
As for a pic in your avatar, that's bull! How are they possible going to enforce that?! You could get any random picture from the internet and claim it is you :rolleyes:

Troublestarter got hold of him but I don't think he gave him much of a kicking as the old bill were on route.
I think he actually sat on him until they arrived :grin:
