      I am close to my 20 posts!  Been frustrating losing access to the marketplace. So I’m working on it!

        Question: This is post #21 for me. Long time lurker, but lately becoming more active in order to access the marketplace. Will post #21 unlock it for me?  I guess we will see right now.

            I’m admittedly a lurker who has only bought, sold, and DM’d. I never posted because I’m shy and didn’t think my experiences and knowledge were up to par with many here. I completely understand the new requirement and appreciate the effort to keep this place safer. I’ll do my best and look forward to contributing. [emoji1690]

              Ditto what Turnstyle said; was beginning to second guess my memory of there ever having been a marketplace on the forum…

              Good shout on the new rules though. Will definitely prompt more engagement from long-time lurkers/fewer-posters (see what I'm doing here?) 🙂

              I'm still working on my post count…even thought I've had a very successful overseas Wesco boot purchase.  Still wearing the boots too.

                  Welcome to the forum.  Please note I’m not trying to be nasty here.

                  I know you want to reach your 20 posts as quickly as possible and I see that you’ve posted in several threads within a few minutes, but it would be great if you added a bit more to your posts.  Your 20 will come quick enough.

                    Apologies. You are correct, was trying to reach the 20 as quickly as possible. I will try be more sincere in future posts.

                      @Hugo888 Look forward to your contributions.  I am sure your will find this place has so much more to offer than just the marketplace when you spend a little more time here.

                          If we find people are trying to buck our system, then we will just terminate their membership.  It does not take a lot to contribute.  It's like when I was younger working on building sites, we worked our arses off trying to avoid the foreman and not actually do any work, sometimes it's just easier to do what is expected of you.

                          We are offering a free service that obviously has value, we only ask a little in return.

                              @fatpaulh I just deleted your two last posts, and draw your attention to this part of the OP:

                              "Users with less than 20 posts who wish to access these boards are encouraged to interact with the community and be a part of what we do here. Reaching 20 posts will then happen quickly. Spam posts or shitposting to reach the threshold will result in a permanent ban."

                                      @Turnstyle I believe they recently implemented a minimum 20 post requirement in order to access the marketplace.

                                      “𝑁𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑒𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑢𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑏 𝑦𝑜𝑢. 𝑌𝑜𝑢 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑚𝑒𝑒𝑡 𝑖𝑡, 𝑖𝑓 𝑦𝑜𝑢 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑡𝑜, 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑎𝑚𝑒 𝑤𝑒𝑎𝑝𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑜𝑛 𝑤ℎ𝑖𝑐ℎ 𝑡𝑜𝑑𝑎𝑦 𝑎𝑟𝑚 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑎𝑔𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑡.”

                                        Yikes! I’ve purchased items from the marketplace on at least four different occasions, and now can’t even view the Buy/Sell section. That’s an… interesting… strategy!

                                          The rule was put in place previous to the new platform being brought online. There was an issue with one of the parameters enforcing the rule which was identified and rectified today.

                                          The 20 post rule was put in place to counter spammer/scammer activity and is a useful tool to prevent scams.

                                          Here is the link discussing the rule change initiated last year and is the first post in this thread: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum//post/12737

                                          From now on only forum users with 20+ posts will be able to access the Want to Buy, Buying and Selling and Stuff To Trade boards.

                                          The reason for this is an increase in scamming, coupled with a huge increase in low effort, spammy sales threads that link to external sites without providing anymore information.

                                          Sales threads should include the following at a minimum:

                                          Correct details about the item (name, maker, size)
                                          Photographs of the item being offered for sale
                                          Terms and conditions the seller decides upon
                                          A price with specifies currency.

                                          The Marketplace is provided by us as a free service and an alternative to the other more costly, generalised sites. It is intended to be used by IH interested people, and concentrate on this brand, other similar brands, or items relevant to the community here. It is intended as a resource for forum users not as an entity in itself.

                                          Users with less than 20 posts who wish to access these boards are encouraged to interact with the community and be a part of what we do here. Reaching 20 posts will then happen quickly. Spam posts or shitposting to reach the threshold will result in a permanent ban.
