I read a lot of internet forums, I think these kind of rules are good on smaller forums to avoid a huge amount of spam. Until Moneysavingexpert was properly moderated, you could log in the morning to hundreds of spam posts to wade through. On TZ UK, you can't even look at the sales forum until you've made 50 posts and plenty of the members jump on you if your early posts are just clicks to get the number up. Stick with it or use Ebay in the meantime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a very well run Motorcycle forum popular amongst your adventure rider of a German make you pay a yearly fee of £10 to place for sale adds and view the for sale section. I haven’t owned an adventure bike for years but still remain a paid up subscriber as they also have a for sale section for non bike related items. As the site has a huge following and quite a view with disposable income so to speak I’ve bought and sold over the years justifying the small fee ten fold 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broxie Posted March 6, 2021 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 Good point Ringmaster, we have all become accustomed to the "everything free" model. This site is very good in that it doesn't blitz you with pop up ads. TZ UK on the other hand. And I used to contribute to the Honest John forum but the pop ups and very old fashioned layout together with a handful of very opinionated regulars meant I didn't bother going back.

Scubaregs Posted March 6, 2021 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 Perhaps I may, just this once, not going to get into a habit of it, make a sensible suggestion? Anyone becoming a site contributor has access to the for sale section, no matter their post count. This means a newbie can choose to pay to get earlier access if they desire.

Sadly, we won't be ready for the next one either. Western governments are so concerned with what happens between now & the next election that long-term strategies are beyond them. Short-termism is rife in Public Health, Business and almost everything else. Each new event comes as a shock. The word, 'unprecedented' is in the news ad nauseam.

It is a well run forum and good value for £12/yr (do you get a discount? 😀). A few people are only there to buy and sell it seems but nobody seems to mind much as the stuff they sell is usually good quality and all the guys are trustworthy 99.9% of the time. I've been that forum for about 15yrs! Bloody hell! Mind you I first joined on here in 2003 then 'rested' for a while. I wonder how long I'll be a 'Newbie' for? 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No discount 😂😂 but for the small fee of £12 is it I find that great value for the forum and the quality for sales section. I’ve bought and sold loads over the years and like you say never a problem and always spot on 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
