Hi Martin

I hope that the post regarding wanted/selling rules wasn't specifically aimed at me.

If so I do appologise as I had not seen any rules as such, though I confess I never looked for any either. I appreciate ignorance is no defence javascript:emoticon('Shocked')

I have recently returned to LR ownership after a dirth of many years and am ironocally a newbie to Defenders and dont as yet know many LR folk in my part of the world. Series moters were my thing as you will see from my avatar and I usually haunt the LRSOC portals.

I don't know if your forum software supports it but perhaps it would be a good idea to set the thread on sales rules as a sticky so it always stays at the top of the for sale forum.

As an IT bloke that sets up websites myself I agree you have to defend the sites from illicit users/useage, however I stumbled over Defender2.net only recently but i am not really a forum person so tend to only ask questions or impart my knowledge / experience only when I feel I can help or when I need help.

In this instance the responder not only has managed to dispose of his old dixon bate but has also helped me out by answering the question I originally raised when I first joined the forum re experience of GKN overdrives.

I am sure I will post again on the formum however I am not one for the usual inane chit chat of the general day to day a case in point is "Snow pic Smile (Childish)" personally not my cup of tea!

I thought the forum was here to help us Land Rover enthusiasts communicate and help each other out.

Regards Julian

Julian,

If you check the 'posted' date on Martin's post you will see it was posted 7 months ago [july 2011] ... obviously not directed at you, a member for a month.

Stop fretting Thumbs Up Guns and Landrovers .... anything else is irrelevant.

Stew, Martin will be able to see that your an established Disco3 member so I wouldn't think he will have a problem with you listing. Thumbs Up

Martin set up the rules because the forum went through a phase of people registering just to sell without offering anything constructive to the forum, much to the annoyance of regular contributors.

I have a thought:

Why not allow new 'sellers' to use the forum, but in a specific category/section?

After all, people come to forums to buy too - and if the net result is more people learning more about defenders and sharing knowledge, and membership growing then surely that's good?

Also it allows a new (possibly naive) buyer to have the backup of your huge experience(s) - if someone posts something that's obviously a bit of a mess (to one/both of your experienced eyes), then that benefits everyone except the unscrupulous salesperson.

Saw this happening ion another forum recently and the value was huge to all involved...

I can't see what problems this causes?

To whom it may concern,thank you for pointing out that i may not sell anything until i have posted contributions to your site, i was unaware but i am now. I have not come on here just to sell,it just so happens that the first thing i need to do is sell somthing. After that then im sure my 11 years in main dealer, extensive product knowledge etc etc may have been useful but seen as my advert seems to have been removed il keep that knowledge to myself. Many thanks,David.

Hi Martin,

I am pretty new to the forum, but I do have a few spare parts in the garage, is it ok to post them or do I have to wait till I get more posts?

Cheers Tony.

Wot Joncc said...
Hi Martin,

I am exactly the kind of scurrilous individual you had in mind. I've had Discos (2 & 3), Defenders and a Range Rover Sport in recent years but all for practical reasons, I wouldn't call myself an enthusiast, and although I want to sell my Defender I understand this is an enthusiast's site. So I completely understand your point - your place, your rules.

The reason I was tempted to register anyway though, and post here, was that no-one seems to have replied to Joncc's post 4 years ago - but he seems to make a fair point?

So my question really is - do you think Joncc had a point (in which case I'd post but only when there's an appropriate forum to do it in), or not - in which case fair-do's and shalom?

Cheers,

Adrian

If you read the for sale rules there can be exceptions to the rules if you contact Martin directly, he will consider each case individually, he is a top bloke who works hard for this site and he has put in rules for a good reason. 90 wolf - Jasmin http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic39408.html
90 V8 - Maggie http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic42564.html
110 TD5 - Buggsy http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic59029.html

Think I might have a problem............
