Criteria for MM access has changed.

As someone who has used MM quite a lot, I support this.

But I was so close

Me too, but if its to keep scammers away then its worth it im sure.

Me as well oh well.

On another note, I have wondered why there is not a rule that a photo of each item has to be provided with a hand written note along side the item with your user name and date written on it? That seems to work very well on another forum.

Just athought

Someone could have the item, take a picture and still not post it. Proof of ownership does not equate to proof of posting . I would however agree it does tighten security a little and at least proves ownership if nothing else which is no bad thing.

Bought and sold a few bits and sold some too also gave some stuff away, better to help a community like OCUK forums that line eBays coffers. The change is good imo, maybe it should be a compulsory 50% down and 50% on completion?

At first I was annoyed to read this as I am more of a lurker, but then I realised I never actually view the MM

 

[carrot1401]

I asked for 2000 posts and a year

Sod it, lets go the full distance, someone start writing up the rules for the new OCUK MM Initiation

On a slightly more serious note, having been scammed before, I support it. And as ever have to thank the mods for continuing helping out. Now if someone could just buy that TV and laptop of me......

Very good change.

 

[Em3bbs]

Damn, there goes my plan for a mass scam.

As someone who has used MM quite a lot, I support this.

I bet you wouldn't had you not already got access!

 

[[TW]Sponge]

Great idea. Nice one Thundy.

 

[lcg]

A good move IMO.

 

[neil3k]

1000 posts.

Considering I have nothing actually worth posting on this forum (i dont know the latest tech, i aint built my own system for a long time etc etc), it looks like i'll basically never get access to the MM...

dry your eyes

Can you make an MM for selling Mobile Phones only? I have a large stockpile I don't use and would let them go relatively cheaply on here.

20k posts or more? Give proof of ID to a Don? Maybe?

 

[andy_mk3]

Sounds fair to me. When I started selling in the MM I had to send a few things first before payment, but it builds a bridge of trust I like the new rules though.

 

[Stoner81]

It's a shame that it has had to be done but if needs must then needs must.

Yeah, it's proof of ownership, just an extra measure of security that means a wrong un will only be able to try and scam someone for a limited ammount of items rather than being able to offer the moon.

As it stands, say if an inactive member who has MM access were hacked, that hacker can offer anything for sale that he likes, there are zero limitations put upon the wrong un under this circumstance.

My only worry in the MM has been damaged goods. You have no concrete way of proving items were damaged before they arrive..never been stung by it but the fear is always there when you buy. Same for sending really, and people who claim it doesnt work.

The reason you can't sell mobiles is due to the fact they are so easily stolen. Although if you're able to provide proof of purchase, I think it should be allowed.

 

[TommyV]

Not had any real problems with MM personally but it seems like a smart move.

 

[elmarko]

I don't have access yet, I'm sure I've been here long enough.... - what was the old time requirement?.
