Many of you know that we have a Classifieds section here at DSMtalk. Only those members who have been registered for at least 90 days and have at least 50 posts were supposed to be allowed to post in there. However, we had an ineffective permissions structure where users who did not meet the requirements were able to view and post in those sections.
The rules were in place to foster trust in the Classifieds. With users in there who had signed up only to access the Classifieds, there was a greater risk of scammers and untrustworthy folks with whom many legitimate users have had problems.
We have recently put a new permissions structure in place and now only those users who should have access, do. If you were able to view the Classifieds before and cannot now, please participate in the forums with useful discussion and you will have access to the Classifieds before you know it. Be warned, however, that post-whoring to reach the 50 post minimum will result in a permanent ban. The mod team watches for these trends and will show you no quarter if you have been caught post-whoring.
There are NO exceptions to the Classifieds posting requirements. I will not respond to PMs about exceptions to this rule.
