@Chap maybe worth looking at this thread, and browsing like this instead of 'recent posts'
https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=13182.0

That way, you can see the B&S board here, and chose not to click on that thread(s)

Unread posts is the way.

@Giles:

Great, let's do that.  But expect some bullshit posts to meet the threshold

At least we can see it coming then..

Exactly. Spam posting to reach the threshold can result in an automatic ban, (partial, time limited, full?)?

[Giles]

Full ban - we can update the member rules and the email that goes out to new members.  If you tell me what the thresholds are, I will update those….

I’m up to my tits at the minute in poolish and corona (not me but everyone else). So if you could that would be boss. I believe I set them at 5 posts to see the WTB. Should be enough?

Hope you didn't get me wrong. I am not against 'buying and selling'. But I think it should be in context and quality to what this forum and its members stand for. It should be limited to those who participate in the forum as 'real members' and not as a selling-only member. Because what's next? Used cars? Carpets?

OK will do thanks

Fully concur.  There are other avenues for individuals to sell items not related/pertaining to the community and lines need to be drawn.

I think that the buying/selling feature is a great way for the community to support each other within reason and gives members access to items that are no longer available (extinct).

[Giles]

I've just sent this to a new member who asked how he should post a for sales thread….

_The Sales area of the forum is reserved for active members, that is people who actively participate in the forum, not just buying and selling.

If you join, and actively contribute, then we would be delighted, and the sales area will be opened up to you._

I think that shows our intent….

Brilliant

I got this as a PM from a new member the day he joined (Nov 16):

Still not sure what to do with it. Responding to it might take away from its sheer majesticness…

[goosehd]

@Seul You do have to admire that he’s short and to the point…Let us know if you engage.  I need a laugh!

On a kind of related note - who is taking care of the recent scammers in the facebook group? Just saw another post for a "work for us from home" event. What's the most effective way, just report them via the facebook functions?

[Giles]

Me, and I delete the fuckers when I see them…..

… and again

Another person who should have already been in jail or monitored and should not have had guns, and another case of stochastic terrorism. More to come, I fear, in this climate.

Such a tragedy and I mourn the victims and hope their loved ones find comfort as soon as possible.

Way too much carhartt out there. It needs to stop.
