Hi Bill, welcome to M4C!

Did you read the posting rules for the EE?

[lefty719]

Well I just did. And well I am a newb. I started reading someone else thread, which was the same as mine, and which I am sorry for clogging up the forums without looking or searching first. I had sent some msgs to him (the buyer) but was not sure if he had received them.

Again I am sorry for a duplicate post to some that were just a few lower than mine:)

Did Lefty get and answer, because I have the same question? I read the "rules" on the yellow buttons near the top of the page, but are there other rules I'm missing? I'd like to be able to participate too.

Have you tried to post? You should not have a problem. You need to have 30 posts in order to start a thread in the EE.

The new procedures and rules:

For Equipment Exchange ad posters:

You must have 30 posts, while contributing positively to this forum community, in order to start new topics in the Marketplace. Industry Professionals, Subject Matter Experts, and M4C Dealers and Manufacturers are exempt from this rule.

Include "WTB" "WTS" and/or "WTT" in your thread title. All WTS ads *must* have a price in the ad, or in the header description. You should also indicate where you are located and what methods of payment you will accept.

No auctions - list a price at which you are willing to sell, not an artificially high price in anticipation of fielding "bids" via email or PM. No links to auction sites, either.

Your ad will be locked out to all members except you - only you can post in your own ad.

Do not bump your ad until 48 hours have elapsed.

Three advertisements on the first page is the maximum allowed. Having more then three will lead to deletions, without notice - combine ads as best you can.

All items for sale should be from your personal collection. Outside dealers must come to an agreement with Site STAFF in order to sell new parts and inventory on this site.

Absolutely no group buys, unless you are a Site Sponsor, Industry Professional/SME, or have written authorization from SHIVAN or The_Katar.

Once you have sold the item you are selling or found the item you are buying, please edit your original ad and change the title. Do not post in a thread to indicate that the item has been SOLD, SOLD PENDING FUNDS, RECEIVED or otherwise. There is no reason to bring a SOLD item back to the top of the first page. Do not edit the final sale price from your ad. It is helpful for the buyer, seller and this community to know what items sold for recently, and in the past.


For Equipment Exchange ad responders:

Use PM or email to contact the OP - you will not be able to post in their ad. The fact that you sent them a PM or email will be obvious when their inbox has new messages.

If a seller has not acknowledged attempts to contact them via both PM and email for more than 48 hours, contact SHIVAN or The_Katar.


For all members:

Fraudulent practices or attempts to defraud another person or group will be dealt with very seriously.

Thanks for the quick response. I found that one has to actually be in the forum to post a new thread there. Duh!
Where were the EE rules located?

They are at the top of every single EE Forum.

Well what do you know, they're a sticky! I had my blinders on and was looking for a rules button.
