lsw-1916 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Literally just created an account because I saw a CYMA Thompson I was looking to buy. However when I try to say contact advertiser it says I can’t because of my account or something? I’m a complete newbie any help is appreciated. Thanks guys in advance.

EDcase Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I believe you need a certain number of posts before you can contact someone but not sure how many are needed. An admin should be able to answer soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Sitting Duck Posted February 4, 2021 Supporters Share Posted February 4, 2021 The person(s) to ask would be @Jedi_Master or @proffrink if you can't contact seller directly, then perhaps see if you could leave a message or ask a question in the advert itself & then seller might be able to reply/pm you The reason why restrictions are placed on newly created accounts is coz otherwise AF-UK gets a load of shit spam offering fake ID's, exam certificates Viagra etc... etc... etc... So I'm guessing the restriction on contacting members regarding ads is to avoid potential spammers & scammers bombarding sellers etc... yes it is a pain perhaps, but I've seem other forums for other subjects/interests impose a couple of hundred posts before you can even see classified ads section we still get the odd spammer/scammer sign up but thanks to some restrictions, the clean up & moderating is lessened (but must still be a pita for mods to deal with at all sorts of weird hours) make some posts, introduce yourself, talk about crap not just to bump your post count up, but also to demonstrate your genuine interest in peew peew to show to mods/members you are not just joining to buy toy guns from people get posting, but not spamming/shit posting (that's my job btw) contact/ask people but don't pester them - await a response & eventually AF-UK will recognise you without restrictions etc... welcome to AF-UK, #1 airsoft forum for big kids that never grew up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostly Retired Moderators L3wisD Posted February 4, 2021 Mostly Retired Moderators Share Posted February 4, 2021 Not that we discriminate round here, but there isn't a lot of trust in newish members from Northern Ireland I'm afraid. You can blame Mr. Glennie for that unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 100 posts in that section, nothing of note outside of it. If this isn't deliberate post-count bumping, I don't know what is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 100 posts in that section, nothing of note outside of it. If this isn't deliberate post-count bumping, I don't know what is. To what end though? There's no post restriction for contacting sellers - the restriction is on content per day. If you spam status updates and posts then you're going to have a tough time doing stuff that you actually need to (at least for your first 10 days). There's a huge warning about this in the header if you're a new user. As far as post padding goes: This is done by such a tiny minority of people that I'm not sure it matters. Report people who are taking the piss after their first 10 days though perhaps On 04/02/2021 at 01:42, lsw-1916 said: Literally just created an account because I saw a CYMA Thompson I was looking to buy.
