Changes to The Marketplace

[Kasi]

Been busy around the house lately
Catching up

20 post. Is far to low..

No matter what’s happened they
Always finds ways around.

Break the limits

Members ranks is very important

In my opinion it’s help.

New members with 20 post can still
spam it..

Regular members knows who, who

Got be more to it…

@mclaincausey:

If the new forum supports badging, when someone is repped as a Hero after a forum transaction, a badge would be handy.

They could charge $8 for a badge!  ??? Too soon?

Would that go straight to the mods?

Well, this effects me greatly. Going to have to start contributing instead of lurking now.

This all seems fairly straightforward to me.  The forum does not drive any type of income or revenue for IH, it was a perk for enthusiasts who wanted to gather and participate in a community. There’s no responsibility on the part of IH to provide the forum at all, much less a marketplace.  The forum helps IH stand out in the industry by creating a kinship among its fans and customers.  IMO the MP should be viewed as a benefit for active and invested forum members.  If all you want to do is sell and buy stuff, there are plenty of other platforms where you can do just that.  This place is for the rest of us and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with our wanting to keep it exclusive. It’s not like we’re trying to turn away people who want to use the forum as it’s intended.

Looks like I need to stop lurking and start posting…

We love interaction, that is what this place is about.  But we don't want to force people to post if they don't want to, every society has individuals who like to talk and those who don't, but unfortunately, every society has individuals who steal, one of the reasons for these changes is to make it harder for scammers to steal from you.

Enthusiasts… You mean "fucking nutters", right? Or "Belgians", at least...

I'm from a small area–hard to find others into this hobby/lifestyle. Like a few others have stated previously, this decision made me try to make more of an effort to contribute more as well.

Please Note:. Any sales that are posted in the going going gone section trying to bypass the current conditions for access to the buy/sell area will be immediately deleted.

[Kasi]

I would like add a suggestion..

With photo the selling of item

a member name and date written..

So they can’t be use by someone else to make a sale again.

[goosehd]

I’ve seen other sites do this as well and think it cuts down on fraud.  Good recommendation @Kasi

I’d say between the pig and oerbier table we’d all know who’s behind it…

How about an exception to the people that have spent a lot of money over the years with iron heart ?

[Matt]

Wow.  They’re so much to unpack with that one. I’m not even sure where to start…  ???
