  2. I am in favour or keeping the restrictions for newbies in the classifieds. One of the benefits to all of us when buying or selling is the reputation of the parties concerned and having the restrictions at least mean that there is a degree of creditability built up before either side can enter into a transaction. It is just as important for sellers to know they have someone reliable buying as it is to have a buyer know the seller is reliable. By having a minimum post restriction on both sides it means that a history is built giving both sides confidence. I realise that I am a relative newbie here myself but I have had some experience of running forums myself and often the trouble makers are weaned out within a few posts so it is a good thing that there is a restriction on the early days of membership IMO. I do agree... this forum is very welcoming to new members. I probably wouldn't have started at all if it wasn't for the help of members here. Buying and selling requires a degree of trust on both sides when doing it on a forum and the restrictions helps build up that trust.
  3. One question though... I see some people can edit their posts. It shows when the post was last edited. Who can do that then... is it just mods?
  4. As a very newcomer (2 weeks) I would say that SGL is simply great. Very friendly, helpful members and a nice layout. My only comment so far is that I too would like the ability to edit my posts to correct typos if nothing else. I know that many forum software has the ability to allow editing for a certain period of time after posting and that would be very useful. I can see the fear of allowing editing all the time as people can then make changes to their posts that then make subsequent replies irrelevent or redundant. But editing for, say, 10 mins after posting would allow people to correct any silly mistakes before there are many (or any) responses. Apart from that - loving being a member. Curious who pays for it all though. Is that somewhere on the forum and I have missed it?
