That`s constructive criticism ? laughing

Why you actually think its not working maybe more constructive winking

Its definitely worked in that fact that is has kept many away that were just here to sale fishing tackle etc. as a free resource and overloading the forum with it happy

As for the auction software it worked very well the few times it got used and with 90 members registered for it, I imagine there were many interested in buying.
Personally I have no idea why it didn't get used, it may be down to the Paypal only option.

well i thought the idea of keeping a for sale/wanted forum but only making it available to members registered for over 3 months and with 50 or more posts on the forum?

Next we come to the problem of a new member wishing to purchase gear that he sees advertised. Is he to be penalised just because he is a new member? and not allowed to purchase the same?

Minefield isn't it?

I think the reason the auction part of the site isn't being used is because of a certain flea bay site where there are tens of thousands more users looking to buy or sell than there ever will be on here

Just an observation

The buy and sell forum we used to have was good but it was replaced as certain members abused it by only selling gear on it and not bothering to post in any other forum it this hadnt been taking place then i dont think it would have been replaced but i could be wrong lol

No Dave your perfectly right in what you say. A certain member had over 200 posts advertising gear for sale or swop and not one post in any other forum. He wasn't on his own either.

This same member was using it as his own personal tackle shop and Im afraid it was myself who pointed it out to Mrix.

If the said forum was to come back I for one would check it every deay and keep a log just to make sure it wasn't abused again.

What if you have joined to sell a boat? what's wrong with that?

Basically you would have had to been a member of this site for 3 months before you can use the auction.
