ORIGINAL POST EDITED
For the curious, my original announced a strategy to deter brand new members from cluttering the market place.
The first strategy is ended and we will try other methods of keeping commercial posters and spammers from ruining the marketplace.
We simply ask new members who are fresh to the forum to read through the rules/guidelines before posting.

Cool!
Thanks Chris. I never know just how far to nudge these guys. It's nice to know a full-on shove over the edge is now sanctioned. Decorum still call for though. Prizes for the most cutting remarks?
Cheers,
Graeme

I suggeest a post & time limit for members. say, over 30 posts AND over 1 month membership. Or something.
If it's urgent enough, and you haven't hit either limit yet (most likely the member time) then contact a mod and perhaps he can post it for you?
Just a suggestion.

Quoting the Rules for Posting in the Market Place, as posted in the Market Place on NOVEMBER 13
Richard
Permission granted to blush boysDear newly registered member.
We are really happy to have you and would encourage you not to post your 'for sale' (WTS) bikes and parts here until you have been with us for a little while.
--
If you have less than 10 posts in the forum and post a WTS offer here, your post will be automatically deleted. The exception is if you email / PM a moderater and ask for and are granted approval.
--
This market place is for the benefit of forum members rather than stand alone market place. Take some time to get to know the forum first.. how we communicate here and then when the time is right, let us know what rare gems you have to sell.
Cheers
Christopher
Richard

I know that, Richard. Was suggesting a forum-controlled automatic lockout, rather than a moderator enforced ban. Kinda like the picture/URL time limit in place at the moment.
Would prevent any flaming, and put the onus on the member him/herself to participate actively before he/she is able to post, instead of posting, getting it flamed/deleted and potentially leaving the site unhappy.

If you can come up with the code that will do just that, feel free to get it together and forward it to Christopher. I can assure you, us mods would rather bask in the glory of the 'moderator' tag than have to do anything to earn it

There probably is a code module that will do it. However installing these modifications (called phpbb mods) renders an upgrade of the forum software very hard to do as the mod has to be un-installed which usually breaks something.
Anyway, we need to keep Richard busy
