You’ve got to contribute consistently to the forums.
Man of Honour
You've not posted anything for 6+ months, that's why.

The system is working. Stops people from just coming in here to buy/sell without making any contribution to the community.

Only 13 posts to go, thanks for contributing

The initial requirement for 1000 posts is such a good idea because it prevents a lot of scammers coming on here.
A forum I used to use a lot in my home country doesn’t have the 1000 initial posts query and people get scammed all the time.
didn't they drop it to 500 posts at one time? otherwises how did mick4545 access it in the 1st place....seem to remember that thinking why did i have to get to 1k posts and now they've dropped it. if back to 1k posts, probably better. Shows commitment
Yeah its changed over the years, 15 rolling posts per month is the newest change and the post count was lower in the past.
is this like a forum subsection ? is it any good?
members market is where you can sell and buy used parts etc have subsections for pc/console/mobiles/electronics etc...where i just picked up the 7800xt gpu. seeing as full of like minded pc enthusiasts, I feel more comfortable there than out in the wild west, though have bought off facebook mktplace before no issues etc...just prefer doing it here. makes this forum more worthwhile as it gives something back for the time you put into it. there are rules such as not buying cheap here and selling on for profit(as some people can sell at a decent price as they like the idea it's going to another enthusiast etc..you can also leave feedback and if anything goes wrong there is a mediation, though I've never need to use it, not that I've used it much...there's also a section where you can ask people what something might be valued at etc....basivcally, just a little extra area for those that use the forum regularly

Yeah the members market is outstanding to be fair. It's generally gauranteed to be a safe place to buy/sell items, unlike the likes of ebay where you're dealing with random people who can easily pull a scam and ebay side with them. One downside when selling is generally you get a bit less money, but that's also an upside when buying, can sometimes pick up a bargain

2 months at 10 posts a day, easy done.

i have no intention of trying to hit a 1000 posts any time soonToo many posts like this and the mods will reset your post count though
I was grandfatherd in as I’ve been a member for a long time (2007)

Feel like the MM used to be better though, before the bay stopped having any fees it was really good because you didn't have to deal with dodgy buyers and could avoid selling fees.
It's still decent but I have a sneaking suspicion that there's still people there who buy at MM rates just to sell on on Facebook.
