Source?

There's plenty of people here that say they've not bought from ocuk in years but still use the forums daily

A few years ago, one ex-employee claimed that the forum only generated 10% of revenue. If that’s the case, then it’s worth a few hundred thousand!

So it was turned off to deter MM spammers? Is that the line?

Has someone that got scammed on mm threatened to sue ocuk or some nonsense?

It takes an extreme amount of effort to spam 1000 posts or whatever when Facebook Gumtree eBay etc exists and pretty much every one there's a moron.

But yeah keeping mm decent is a good thing either way.

You know the reason is to protect MM buyers.

A high proportion of MM disputes are sellers accounts with just enough to click over then no further contribution apart from buying and selling.

It’s not an arbitrary decision.

So why has it taken 12 pages for a mod to finally confirm this?

And if that is the case then instead of making GD posts worthless, why not just increase the requirements of both posts and membership length if you are having issues with MM integrity? It's a far fairer solution surely that keeps everyone happy.

How many posts about shaving your head bald or about weddings rings lead to someone buying a new PC?

I can set it to 10,000 posts if you’d like?
 
I'm starting to find this very gdaphobic and as a gdgenderered cis male I'm very upset and I'll no longer be having 2 sugars in my Coffee.

Why do you seem incapable of having a proper discussion about this? Your posts in this thread have been rather petulent. I'm not sure why you have such a problem?

Why do you seem incapable of reading? As we’ve already said, we make decisions and don’t need to consult the masses before we make them.

The point is Hilly, is that what actually is the point in stopping post count in GD when all other forums can be easily spammed?

Because, the amount of crap which GD gets, you can get lost in spam and people abusing post counts for only getting into the MM. When it’s in a sub forum on specific subjects it’s a lot harder.

The MM is strict on rules, as it’s a community thing. There’s rules to uphold when you’re in there and more rules to gain access. It’s a privilege to use that sub section, not a right. It’s separate from the shop for a good reason and we and we only police it.

Do you really want users who post 1009 nonsense posts in x amount of time access to your money and goods, or do you want someone who genuinely add to the community?
I’d rather have someone who adds to the forum and not just take. You can decide which side you fall into.
