Members Market

May i ask the powers that be in the forum why are the stats needed so high to get access the MM.
i access the forum almost everyday but dont reply to threads unless i think my opinion could count in some way (not wanting to post spam)
and am finding it hard to get anywhere near the requirements.
I find lots of the info in the forum very useful and interesting and do not wish to jeapordise access to by posting willy nilly just to get the required stats

It's high so someone doesn't jump in ebay style and start selling fake goods.

That's the idea, anyway.

It is to make it difficult for banned scammers to sign up with a second account and continue their shady dealings straight away. It keeps the Members Market running much smoother, easier to moderate and most importantly, safer for genuine members to use.

It's not ideal that such measures have to be put in place but they do and they cannot be waived for anyone.

We try to keep the Members Market as secure as possible, therefore we keep the requirements at a high level. It helps keep people who are looking for a quick scam opportunity out, while still remaining attainable within the required period of membership (90 days).

The Moderating team are very good at spotting people who are spamming simply to gain access to the Members Market.

Protection of other members, primarily.

Heres one for you then mods - why did OCUK decide to have a members market?

Surely its bad for business? Or are you just so super - thanks for asking?

I've got the same problem as the OP, been on here ages but I don't tend to spam much, just contributing when I feel my opinion is relevent

It's what the members wanted.
