Gatorman Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 You have to have posted a certain amount of posts before that forum can be viewed. This has been implemented to keep dealers that would be potential problems for the forum from using it for their own benefit. Basically it is a scam prevention tactic.

Shamalama Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 And makes sure that those who use and view are actually contributing to the board. Good show! -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Sharks Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 What am I missing. Bmore's link doesn't work and I can't find the for sale section either. Surely I must have enough posts to qualify (and no, I won't stop calling you Shirley) There's no limit to what you can accomplish when you're supposed to be doing something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sharks Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Wierd. After I posted that, it showed up. An "open sesame" sort of thing???? There's no limit to what you can accomplish when you're supposed to be doing something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Even though you already had enough posts, it took one more for the new set up to know that.

captain badlands Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 So the general trend is against commercial collection? I'm certainly not opposed to a little BST on the forums, but I generally dont support commercial collecting. People should get off their arses and go get it! - to be able to lead, you must first refuse to follow - is that a rock hammer in your pocket, or are you just that happy to see me? - where are all the unicorn fossils? that stupid troll lied to me!

I'm certainly not opposed to a little BST on the forums, but I generally dont support commercial collecting. People should get off their arses and go get it! The opinions among the membership regarding purchased vs. self-collected are all over the map. Most agree that dealers who don't contribute but join just for the free advertising are not an asset; the minimum-posts for access to the trades & sales section is meant to cut down on that disruption.

silverphoenix Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Excellent idea!!! This will be very beneficial to our forum and prevent many potential problems from arising. It would be interesting to see what people's opinions are on the commercial collecting subject. I myself just sell what I over-zealously collect, but I know there's a few who buy and collect only to sell. I have mixed feelings about it myself XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
