You have PM

Then it should state that in forum guidlines. And should read;

No posting up threads for other membes under the post count threshold in parts for sale or wanted.

How can it be bending the rule if its not a rule? As stated in the guidlines No posting in the wrong area to overcome post counts.

If you want to be pedantic then so can the admins....

YOU can post YOUR parts for sale as its YOUR postcount thats the essential, not another persons....

If you really want to pick nits, the guidelines can be changed/tightened up to (not) suit your argument as quickly as it took to type this.

However, it would rather be an understood thing, rather than having to have everything laid out, chapter and verse....

As you wish.....   

That is much clearer and will suffice. I was not trying to cause an argument over this but needed to be pointed out that what I was being got at about was not part of the rules or guidlines. If you don't want something in a thread/post then it should be clearly stated, not be taken as a "understood thing" as you put it. Guidlines are for a reason to let people/members know what you don't/do want in threads, if it's not outlined then how are members/new members to know what you require? 

As I red it members were not allowed to, lets say post in the genral chat or test area, to get it moved to the correct sub forum to get post counts up, where as now that it has been changed then this will make it clearer for existing and new members that this is not something you will allow and will be edited by the Admin team.

I do appreciate your understanding in this and that it is now resolved.
H21 please could you now lock the thread before it starts to get out of hands with other members jumping in.

I'm going to abuse my rights here, and add to this locked thread.


The 'rules' (we call them guidelines) are intended to be written in such a way as to give members a brief, but good, indication of what is and what is not allowed, rather than being a definative list of what is and is not allowed (if we did this, the rules would be several pages long, unmanagable, and therefore pointless).  I mean, how many of us read the T&Cs we have to agree to when signing up .

I personally apologise if they weren't clear enough (I primarily wrote them initially), but we try to give the kind of behaviour we insist upon, rather than a massive long list.

Yes, holes can be picked in them, but we all should really be able to understand what is being requested
