IMPORTANT: Members Market access

[davido_labido]

tbh, I am mainly active in MM, but that's just because I don't really have much to add to many threads anymore. I mainly used to do the modding stuff on here and unfortunately, people don't do as much on forums as they used to.

I also have a sickening amount of hardware coming and going through my house and I would prefer to give people decent deals in a place that I like rather than have to deal with idiots on eBay or Fb marketplace.

If I do see posts I can answer I converse, but yeah, overall, I would say I am 75% marketplace now.

What's the betting that, by their very nature, those of the culled that regain their MM status just revert to not engaging in the community anymore?

Upped to 2000 posts...

Surely increase minimum post requirement by 1 per week or similar. Would require a continuous effort / engagement.

Well people should want to 'engage' with the community, that's what forums are. Not just used as a free selling site.
It shouldn't also be a box ticking exercise either, just getting post count up to gain access again. Tbh I'd be wary of people like that.

just make sure you engage with others then you won’t lose access.

I’m certain the mods will be monitoring it. And dealing with it as appropriate

Posts in here don't up your post count though,so they would be better off contributing to the forum rather than getting upset...

Almost like that was the entire point of the exercise?

When I get access back in 2025, will my Trust still be there?

Yes. Your access has been revoked to the sub-forums but all of your account details remain in place.

Thanks.

Actually not a bad idea...

Hmmm....

I was affected by this - generally engaged in MM only, and well under the new limit. It was of value to me both as a buyer/seller and i passively consumed the forum reading quite a lot but not adding a lot. Practically speaking I will now need to post more, and there is value in that for me (and I hope others!) longer term as that engagement does trigger a nice feedback loop. So suggestions above about using regular participation over time as a criteria for access is not a bad one, as otherwise there's not that incentive to remain as active.

Expect an announcement about this soon.

Your posts have been pretty insufferable so I for one, am super glad.

 

[tonys]

I'm glad you liked them,
The wife thinks I'm insufferable aswell, probably where I get it from.
