Is it possible to redirect folks like above to the Sticky or some similar intermediate page with the same info instead of what they get now while trying to post in Classifieds ?Any suggestions on how to get people to read Sticky threads?
How about a banner for new members that appears on either bottom or top when they open the Classified section.Any suggestions on how to get people to read Sticky threads?

In the meantime, you can check Sticky threads in Classifieds section. Look for - 'Why am I not able to post a 'For Sale' thread?'
Thanks. Have informed Renegade to delete.right under classifieds at the end it says you must have at least 5 trophy points to start a sale thread :|
Thanks a ton eddy, have a good eveningThanks. Have informed Renegade to delete.
I am not doubting you mate, but I've read in one of the threads wherein a user opened 2 accounts to boost his feedback, eventually both got banned.I'm in the same boat. Have got 7 trophy points. Done two deals from the forum members but still can't start a sale thread.
I suggest there should be some relaxation to this. At least for people who have done more than 1 deal
Thanks for a the quick history lessonSince many new members don't know why we had to implement strict rules so I'll rewind a bit and walk through why such precautions were taken.
- There were cases when members got spam messages with XXX images and links to other sites (If I remember correctly then there were few links with malware as well)
- New members scammed people during GPU shortage and people lost money (since the sale thread was posted when no mod was online and by the time any action was taken money was transferred, Just imagine losing 10k token money from 2~3 people)
- Old member accounts were hacked to scam people
Since TE is a Tech forum with a small section for buy/sell, the common consensus was to take strict action and all these issues were related to messages and marketplace. No one is saying that new members are bad but for the sake of safety we have to be strict and vigilant

Yeah even I'm looking for an answer to this. I fully understand the rules for market section where one needs at least messages + old membership. But even when I post in Tech section all my messages first go through mod. I don't have any issues with this but it'll be good to know when this cap gets lifted.Why are my messages still awaiting moderator approval? Shouldn't my account limitations be removed?
