Saw that... I'm not one to attack new users, but what a fuckin' tosser advert. "Swap my high k's underpowered altezza with an unknown engine rebuild for your turbo MX5"

Good luck with that one..

Since this thread's started, the amount of 0post users trying to sell shit has gone a bit silly. Props to the one guy for actually getting involved though.

... Unless it's someone on here starting new users just to be a dick.

I highly doubt that would be the case.

I just expect people to be sociable and try and treat us as a community rather than an extension of tardme.... sadly the admin seems to disagree as he feels that somehow people will advertise rare mx5 parts on here whilst not having them simultaneously listed on tardme.

I have yet to see instances of this occurring in all the time I have been here yet tho'

I think from memory Zuruno just hosts it but other than that... Originally thought about getting an altezza but was glad I didn't years ago

Yes kinda... but not really. I think people got given admin for different sections but there should be an overall one other than zurruno who's never here who can do what they're supposed to do (block/ban/apply the hand of justice).

Not sure how to call forth Zurruno though

"$1500 obo" for IMX5 as a plate, no wonder these knobs aren't a part of the forum anyway.

remember that other guy who was trying to sell an mx5 themed plate for $3k on here and tardme? somehow I don't think he ever got his asking price....

hey, any one want to buy my plate "MX5 90"? willing to sell for $5k or swap for a turbo NC (although I would consider a swap for a crappy slow car with an engine swap) lolololololololol

i personally don't have a problem with no posters advertising in wanted .because if you want to buy then you will become an active member,where as if you are selling then you are leaving the community so therefore new members should be limited to wanted ads until they reach at least 5 posts.

A valid and interesting point, but would this just mean that we have a large number of pointless posts just so that some idiot can post a 4 sale add?

The way I see it is that we are stuck with some retards just trying to flick some random piece of shit, so we should try and build on our community by encouraging new members and providing more interesting content.

OK then as most people want to sell stuff in a hurry instead of a post limit make it so you have to to be a member for one month and 5 posts

Yeah Howard (aka Zorruno) hosts it and is uber-administrator.  The other "admins" can just edit/delete/move posts basically. ie no banning ...!

If you PM Zorruno he'll see it.
