Well, that could have been avoided if he mentioned that instead of making his offer on his very first post.

It's an honest mistake since this forum has had too many spammers making offers on their very first post. The mods will correct this problem if you and him discuss the situation.

No, we're just a bit cynical about anyone posting items for sale without first checking out the rules for posting sale items. We've had our share of true spammers and would prefer to avoid them.

Sn0wman's reaction may have seemed a bit harsh, but we take our sale threads seriously and even staff members abide by these simple rules.

Yah - but he got a PM from staff, telling him to read the rules. He posted a 2nd one and still didn't follow the rules.

I read the rules and i do not see what i did wrong. This is not a spam. Can somebody just tell me what i did wrong instead of just nagging? It's my first and help is appreciated.

You used a free email address, not an ISP supplied one. You don't have 50 posts.

  • Minimum post count of 50 (This will eliminate the people wanting to spam and to establish trust with the members of PCApex)
  • No negative rep and or rating members are allowed to post in the Trading Post....period!
  • Your ISP email is to be submitted within your post. (The only exception is .edu emails for students) NEW You can use reCaptcha to obfuscate your email address!
  • Asking price: This is not an auction. Place a price and deal with it in a PM if you wish to barter.
**** PCApex's Buying, Selling & Trading Tips. Other Trading Tips
  • All people interested in trading should get a Heatware account (www.heatware.com). Heatware is a free service that allows traders to leave comments for each other about their trading practices. The feedback can then be used for references when entering other trades. For reference, my heat can be viewed here ( [ HEATWARE.com ] ).
  • Heatware is very useful, but can be faked. Always check that the Heatware account is tagged to the same e-mail as the forum trader you are dealing with.
  • Also, send the Heatware address an e-mail ensuring that they are selling the item in question. Please leave each other heat (good or bad) at the completion of a trade, so that others can be reassured (or warned) by your experience.
Nobody wants to get ripped off (trolled). The question inevitably comes up, who is going to pay/ship first. Well, generally people who are new to the forums (and lack heat) should be prepared to ship first. If they are not prepared to do so, don't trade with them. No need to flame them or berate them, just don't trade. They will soon learn that trust is gained in baby steps. Always get the name, address, and phone number of the other party in any trade of any significant value. Don't be afraid to call the number and ensure it is legit. Speaking of trolls, everyone should visit www.trollhunters.com. View their extensive list of known bad traders. It is kept reasonably up to date. Always check that your prospective seller is absent from their less than distinguished list. If a deal "doesn't feel right", don't enter into it. You can also check out PCApex's Troll & Bad Trader List. Conduct your trades in a professional manner. Exceptional communication, fast payment / shipping, and good packaging make for happy traders. Pretty simple right? Thank you, and happy trading! Thank you Putwig for all your work on these rules.

Ummm...what Iater said.

Also, you posted in the general category instead of the Trading Post where you would've been put into a queue for approval.

Repost in the Trading Post fora and adhere to the rules, then I'll approve your post.

Everyone else...move along, nothing to see here.
