New Members - Please read the forum rules.
For some reason, we are having lots of people signing up for the sole purpose of flogging stuff on their first post.
The forum rules explicitly state that this is not acceptable.
There is a facebook group for those who wish to sell stuff without the hassle of participating properly with an enthusiasts' / user group forum.
Failure to follow the rules, will result in any for sale / raffle / gambling threads being deleted.
(We have had them all recently)
Any repeat offenders will receive a ban.
Nothing personal, it is just the rules.

Just in case your "search" button does not work...
Here are the forum rules for For Sale Posts...
For Sale Restrictions;
"Newbie" status users, indicated by the username displayed in light blue, are subject to a board restriction disallowing the use of all and any of the Sales boards in the Back Room area. You agree that any attempt to subvert this rule, either by posting a "For sale" topic in a non-designated area, or referring to, by hyperlink or plain text within any part of a post or signature, an external advert, will result in punitive action being taken against the user by “Vauxhall Cavalier Mk3 Owners Club” - now "VauxhallCavalier.com" or it's representatives.
Once the user has achieved a post count of 50 this restriction will be lifted.
REVISION - To clarify any user posting a thread with any hint of a sales nature will result in;
1. Immediate thread deletion...
2. PM to the user with a forwarding link to this thread...
3. Repeat offenders will be banned for a minimum of 30 days.
Clarification 13.09.11 - This rule is, by definition, intended to cover any thread created for the intent of selling, for profit or non-profit, any type of goods, whether the goods in question are automotive related or not. This extends to any and all Ebay auctions and/or buy-it-now type adverts. Newbie users are welcomed to post wanted type adverts, and links to sites that can be of use to other cavmk3oc / vauxhallcavalier.com users.

Well done Rob, quite right.

Re: New Members - Please read the forum rules.
I am glad you approve James.
I have tried to strike a balance between "friendly forum" where we could look like a soft touch, and being "firm but fair".
I have been tempted to use a zero tolerance approach due to the quantity of these posts, and simply ban the offenders.
but I have taken a step back and just deleted their eroneous posts / adverts instead.
I must be getting soft in my old age.

Re: New Members - Please read the forum rules.
Yet again we are getting new sign ups for the purpose of selling a Cavalier or Cavalier parts.
Due to so many offenders recently, I am going to start applying the rules to the letter.
So if you post a for sale advert, and your forum name comes up blue...
The advert post will be deleted.
If you have a valid reason to post then please message (PM) me first.
If you try to re-post an advert without prior approval, your user account along with your ip address will be banned / blocked.
Again - I understand this sounds very strict, but we have had a lot of chancers taking the mickey due to my prior leniency.

Re: New Members - Please read the forum rules.
Totally agree with you. Rules are in place for a reason. The last thing you want is the forum becoming just a free ad place.
Re: New Members - Please read the forum rules.
Yeah I agree too!
Re: New Members - Please read the forum rules.
Thank-you everyone for the votes of confidence...
It is very much appreciated.
