With VoraciousTortise laying down the law like this, I'm thinking of changing my vote. Thanks for this VT!

I wouldn't sweat it too much. Your post already proves you have at least half a brain. Believe it or not, I'm actually the same way (I've just been around the site longer). Most of my posts suck and are on the SnkOrSwm level ( XD )....... Eventually I found a few threads that I could contribute to on a regular basis.

I think the policy should be very simple. If you start trying to create a list of rules, you'll never cover every situation. I also think, it's important to consider that the Mods, in general, are long standing members appointed by other Mods that understand the community. This being said, I think there only needs to be one rule: If you step into the market place don't be a jackass.
I think it's clear to everyone; that if a guy is being dishonest, flipping for profit or claiming a boot leg is legit. That person is a being a jackass and he should be punished or banned from the market place.

So it looks as if I have lost my market privileges. I wonder if i didnt post a FS thread today if that would have made a difference and I wouldnt have been flagged? I know I use the market more than any other avenue of this site, hands down. I like to look at the cool/rare/unique things people have for sale, even if I never intend to buy them and spend most my time in those threads. Also having access to the market lets you see what the current prices of games being sold at which is a helpful resource.
I understand the intentions of these policies but I have never had a bad transaction on here as seller/buyer/trader and dont think i am part of any problem. I obviously could be more active in the rest of the forums and I get that. I just hope "earning" privilege back doesn't entail a bunch of people spamming old threads with useless posts that dont contribute to the threads. I read thru some threads and dont post because I dont have anything to contribute to them. I will try and do better at being a more active member of the community.
Cheers
Dave

Yes, it would've happened regardless.
I don't think it's too much to ask for some participation and contribution outside of scooping items or cashing out. The only reason this place is a hub for sales is that the community at large is popular and the userbase is very active. Coming here to only use that and not participating is shitty.
I don't buy the "can't contribute" excuse. There are plenty of threads to post in, discussions to start, etc. It's not about spamming or churning.. it's not about post count. Its about bringing something to the table beyond a wallet and some PCBs.
Just be more active. That's it.

I just don't get all this. I know it's a community and all but really as long as people are playing by the rules who cares about someone's post count??? It's at the sellers discretion if they want to sell to people with low post counts. As I said because I am around a lot I often know what people want and I just go directly to them if I have something to flog before offering it up to the masses.
VT didn't you just let a noob in on your Wei Ya group buy yesterday? http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showt...129d-chassis&p=3753580&viewfull=1#post3753580
I don't think there is anything wrong with that. For the greater good it's making a group buy happen.
Probably half of what is sold and purchased here is by people with less than a couple of hundred posts. Why dry that up?

I feel similar - but I can see the flipside. Lets face it, most people turn up here originally for the market. You need to get people to post elsewhere so they can get a taste for the site as a whole. If they don't post elsewhere then this place dries up altogether and becomes nothing more than the market.
Site ends. Simple really.

Pretty much what was the death of sega-naomi.com. Turned to just the market, then nothing.

I'll be honest it's why I came here originally. I was as surprised as anyone to find out there weren't enough opinionated, bitter, unpleasant middle aged men in my life and I've found it impossible to leave ever since.

The person with the highest feedback on this forum barely contributed anything other than sales of MVS carts... Looks like he has run out because hasn't been seen in over a year...
Nothing wrong with that though IMO because it let a lot of people enjoy Neo games and he was a good source and seller while it lasted...

(Looks like he has actually slipped to second now)
His feedback score is higher than his post count though.

If VT feels like banning leeching italians, he should start with Stefano.

So how do you feel about your pal Christoph losing his market privileges?

Chris is a loss that nobody cares about outside of a few select people who like jizzing on their wooden shit.

Whatever. You know what I mean. Almost every post he ever made was in his selling threads. Not that there is anything wrong with that IMO, I got quite a few MVS carts off him back then as did many others.

Hey VanillaThunder,
I can not view only certain threads that I contributed on; Some threads I can view and some I can not.
Could you check to see what my status is?? Thanks and I appreciate your time.
