You can post anything for sale or wanted in here - but you HAVE to be a HOC member. So, in the Subject header, please put your HOC membership number. If I don't see it, I reserve the right to delete the post.

This is to avoid non members signing up and, as their first post, selling or buying.

If this is not the right way to do it, please tell me a better one

When we signed up would it be a good idea if our membership number was our password :idea:

(We all could be checked out) :shock:

If you could add a couple of boxes to the profile, to include your membership number and date of expiry, then even in general discussion every body could see who was a member, and who was not

Going to be difficult for me if I ever want to flog something on here as I can't remember my membership number and I never received a card this year!

I think thats a brilliant idea though

What the hell people!...If someones got something to sell then why not let them post it?...Er ..just a thought!

by **Chimp Boy** on Thu Oct 05, 2006 7:41 pm

I've no problem in supplying my details if I want to sell something, however I would object to them being published and that includes my membership number, if I knew what it was that is!

by **alansh** on Fri Oct 06, 2006 8:33 am

Yes, I knew this would cause some controversy.

What I am trying to stop is the person who registers just to post a for-sale item. Since I can't stop people registering, I wanted some way to manage this. If someone has a better idea, please tell me.

I cannot add items to the profile and I cannot stop people posting

With some forums I frequent, new members posts are routed through admin or moderators before making it to the page. The number of posts required before being free to post normally is set by admin. Is that facility available here? If so you could see the membership number and then delete it and allow the post. Regular users that have passed the pre requisite number of posts would be able to sell something straight away.

Chimp Boy,

Nice idea,

I hope Alan can work with that, as I appreciate his hands are tied on some admin issues

by **alansh** on Fri Oct 06, 2006 1:15 pm

No, I don't have any control over that. Sorry. Once a user has registered, they can post.

Now, I could make it so that I have to approve every registration - but I'd rather not!

I'll see if there is any control I can put on the "for sale" forum.

by **alansh** on Fri Jul 06, 2007 9:45 am

So, my idea isn't working.

Are you all OK with the postings going on here?

I have to say I prefer the system as it is now.

It's a nuisance for newbies I admit, but we want interaction and communication NOT a jumblesale.

by **Chimp Boy** on Fri Jul 06, 2007 10:22 am

I'm a bit confused.

Alan, your idea not working, is that the members only being allowed to sell? I would agree with this.

Stritchy, you prefer the system as it is now, a free for all or complying with Alans opening post?

I agree a jumble sale is not good.

Regards

Chimpy

Sorry, should have been more concise.

For Sale & Wanted section, for members only please
