Hairy Posted June 7, 2012 Share What's up with all the newbies? They come on over to the Hub as if it is gumtree, post and item and that is that. No "Hi my name is poephol and I is liking the hub very much" introductions .... nothing. Then selling goods with a zero post count, in my mind does not make me want to run out and do business with this person/persons. The above is me throwing something out there for your opinions.

Joe_Cogs Posted June 7, 2012 Share Hi, my name is Christopher. I like mountain biking very much. I also like long walks on the beach and digging holes and looking for dinosaurs. Happy? Only teasing... I see your point. I have not sold anything yet, but I'll mention that I like the hub very much when I do sell something Ramrod, TheV and mooky 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted June 7, 2012 Share Hell Joe You at least have 35 posts and many of these were from one of the most awesome topics on the hub being about single speeds. H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Posted June 7, 2012 Share my gripe is the adds , they post some half wit description of what they selling . you then show interest , ask questions and they simply don't get back to you ! it ****s me off ! if you goanna place a add then do the responsible thing and give details and follow-up on it often. I think adds need to be screen before being placed , or we need a system that asks all the relevant questions and if you fail to fill in a field it won't let you continue .

petatodd Posted June 7, 2012 Share Ya, It's completely f**cked up, no one should be able to post anything until they have a post count exceeding 1,000 posts in total. Or 100 in the "Tattooed, burlesque and beautiful women of the world." thread... paulk, JGR, Dubber88 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNT1 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Bugger that. Gumtree style ads rule. Everyone should try and sell overpriced crap like this one: https://www.bikehub.co.za/index.php?app=hubmarket&do=view_item&item_id=30270 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certain forums here (classifieds, tech, stuff like that) should be restricted until you have "x" amount of posts AND "x" amount of 'likes' mooky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You win some, you lose some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
