Can these be explained to me - I am new to this forum - I need 50 posts to be able to do this and 50 posts to be able to do that
I have always been a keen photography and post on many Forum - but I need 25 posts to be able to view or post here
Is this a "closed" members forum for a select group of people - have I made a mistake by trying to join?
What's it all about - 5 or 10 posts yes - but 50!!!!!
hi bill. welcome to tzuk. post restrictions are in place mainly to dissuade people from just rocking up using the sales corner as a free ebay. there are a few board anomalies such as the one you mention, however once youve made a few contributions you'll soon be able to access all parts of the board. hth.
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
jabba the accountants posting has vanished before I could take his advice - is that another function that will be explained in "stickies"
hi bill, maybe youre confused because you inadvertantly posted the same thread twice? anyway, 'jabba the acountant' isnt an individual but a post ranking, youll find a few jabbas on here :wink: all the best dave
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Welcome to the forum. You need 50 posts to view Sales Corner and 250 to post there. Once you can view SC you can PM a member if you wish to buy. The 250 restriction is to deter dealers and folks using SCD as a free eBay alternative. Get reading and asking questions, you will soon get your post count up, but do NOT speed post or you will likely suffer a forum software glitch! :wink:
F.T.F.A.
Erm no, you have inadvertently posted the same message twice; my reply is in the other. And, by the way, Jabba the accountant is a sort of denomination based on post count - all part of the fun and our host's sometimes strange sense of humour.
I speedposted and get banned!Or not banned - I don`t know exactly wjhat I am.I can view only Watch Talk and write there.
I am waiting for Eddie to unlock me.
Just out of interest, what is the jabba the accountant thing or Brown thing that accompanies a lot of members?
It is a "rank" based on the number of posts you have made.Originally Posted by Theboydonald

I cannot find the "sticky" to which Jabba refers

Although the post count thing is a pain, I understand and completely agree.
Bills overdosed on Wurthers.
Digital photography Bill, is a different thing to watches.

Thanks - not long to go before I can see what I'm missing
PS - Digital photography is a subject I can contribute to
agree entirely. I couldn't view the Reviews section until I had 25 (?) posts. What on earth has this got to do with Sales Corner? It's silly, but it seems we're in the minority.I am a newbie on here - did you read "Jabba's" reply to meClick below...

He was referring to the subforum. You are a rude plonker.
I agree it's not good, or is it? Post count up another notch :D
TZ-UK A friendly place to discuss watches without oppressive moderation.
The clue is in the title.
The other subforums are there as add-ons for people who might be interested in other topics.
You will have a lot of exploring ahead of you. for example:
The bear pit is for cage fighting and internet arguments.
And the Bullingdon Club is for esteeamed members only (and top secret societies)
Enjoy the journey.
All so impatient !!!! Take it easy and enjoy the forum. Ive amassed a whole 422 posts since May 2009 :cry:(423 now). SC is a bonus here but the forums are the main purpose. Ive learned loads about watches, got some great filthy jokes :mrgreen: and said 'last watch' more time than i care to remember :shock: . Ive been helped out no end by some of the members on here :thumbright: :thumbleft: and appreciate it all. Do i enjoy having SC .... yes, would i still use TZ if it wasn't there ... YES. Maybe reach 844 by 2014 lol. I'll never get in 1000+ room :( lol.
If you don't like Eddies rules don't come here.
Niall
Eddie sent me another mail due my request to unlock the forum features for me.He said that I still post rubbish.I am already kind of insulted by the way.
Look, Doc, this is how it is...
Anyone looking at your 'profile' at the minute would say the second you are 'unlocked' you will sell something.
Otherwise, what on earth is so important?
Tell us, tell Eddie...
I am that kind of person - if I can`t have something - I piss out.When I have it - probably I won`t use it or use it a few times,but I will know that I may use it if I want and everytime I want.Just principles.I think we are all the same.
no, we arent.
we dont ALL litter multiple threads with nonsense in order to hit the magic 250.. and we dont ALL disrupt with tales of post count woe.
It`s easy when you have got there.However. :wink:no, we arent.

Sorry mate, just got to call you out on that.
This thread, your post is gone btw > viewtopic.php?f=1&p=2001814
Burnsey is right. You tried to advertise outside the SC, you must have known that was not on. If you act this way it is no wonder you're having problems.
I'm not sure how to answer your point "just in case your deaf as well as blind" tactfully as clearly you are someone who knows the forum intimately being "an Accountant' with many posts to his credit.Click below...

Before I registered I looked through the Forum and thought I saw a section for "digital photography" - but maybe I'm wrong but I would not describe someone who is not aware of such a section as deaf and blind,
Maybe you should "get out more" within the Forum
Thanks for your comments, always useful .............. but I must try to find the "ignore" button ... maybe you could point me in the right direction
I'm active on some overseas forums and have just moved back to the UK. I like the restrictions on SC as it reduces the junk and fraudsters. However, I would like to access reviews and don't understand the restriction on those.
Sure I can post comments and will get to 25 soon enough but I'm not sure how this benefits the forum.
Regardless of these idiosyncrasies, TZ-UK is a good forum so I'm happy to be part of it.
Dom
I am happy too,but I will be happier if I am part of the whole thing,not only one piece of the forum.
The jury's firmly out on whether the rest of us will be.
Dear Non Dom Dom :wink:
Rules is Rules, and it's been covered a lot, but to save you some time on the search function. The quiet traffic on some of the sub forums, for example "Reviews", means that some folks think they can resurrect several, tens, maybe dozens of old, ancient, dead and long forgotton threads with comments such as " :) " "Nice" "Cool" "Thanks" and "Want one" in a posting rush to get to SC. They seem to think no one will notice. This is... rude. Nothing wrong with the comments as such, but when their only purpose is to get to SC it becomes a little tedious.
Stick with it, it's worth it. Usually, by the time folks have settled into regular posting the sub fora open up pretty quickly.
Cheers

Dont worry, with my current pace its only 4 years left for me. See it like a degree
Several people have lost hundreds of pounds through fraud when the forum rules were more liberal. People joined the forum to sell watches or answer WTB posts via PM and ripped people off. The rules are there to prevent fraudulent activity, the fraudsters usually want a quick hit and can't be bothered racking up the required number of posts.
If you're serious about joining the forum, I bid you welcome but if you can't be bothered then it's goodbye from me......
Eddie
Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
I am curious - how will you recognize the serious people from the bad people who aim a fraud?I can build a reputation over an year and then I can do great fraud.The post count is nonsence.
If that's how you feel, then I suspect this place is not for you................
(by the way, most fraudsters want a fast buck and making a year of posts for the possibility of a few grand is rather small minded)
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
Not long to go before I can buy some more watches. Problems: first, no money; second, saving for a possible rare obscure biggie which seems v. unlikely to appear on SC. Oh well, I can dream.
Doc, is this poor use of English (not meant as a criticism), or do you consider the need for people to get to know you through posts is 'nonsense'?
Personally I wouldn't buy from you, sell to you, or trade with you.
Other than on the forums where the above applies, I'm sure I will enjoy some posts.
If I buy an expensive watch - I buy it from trusted seller with warranty.Can somebody give me a warranty and a service?
I don`t want to make frauds.In fact - I use the same nickname for years in any forum I visit or have been visited.I can give everyone my address or number if they want - I don`t care because I don`t have anything to hide or to be afraid of.
So why are you complaining?
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
No,it was just a mistake.Anyway - if I keen on you as a buyer - poor me!Doc, is this poor use of English (not meant as a criticism), or do you consider the need for people to get to know you through posts is 'nonsense'?

If you have read all my posts in this thread you shouldn`t ask such a question...So why are you complaining?
Do a search.
I haven't - you are just whining, why does this require me to read your diatribe?If you have read all my posts in this thread you shouldn`t ask such a question...So why are you complaining?
Do a search.
You don't like the rules - it's not your forum.
You don't agree with what it is in place for - its not your forum.
Oh, - it's not your forum (did I already say that?)
