buy/trade/sell board?

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Yeah, but I think at least 75 of those have to be something other than "First BM" to count.;)

It's hard to gauge whether someone is trustworthy if you haven't spent a few years talking to them, so by making it "active community members only" it cuts down on crap likely to be experienced.

It's secretly a mens club with lots of porn, a link to a site that send sout fre alcohol and a early copy of Star wars Episode 3 for our viewing pleasure.

Naturally nobody in the forum wants this shared.....

To cover this up transfans mods claim that as people, even at 'reputable' website have been found to rip people off *Cough* seibertron.com *cough cough* so only those who have 'proved' their trustworthiness are let in to ensure it's 100% safe.

Apparently, you have a different definition of the phrase "a few years".

Passed requirements? :lol:

There are none. If the power's that be feel they know you well enough and completly trust you, they will let you in.
Otherwise it's not up to you to decide you've passed nothing and I think most people agree they know virtually nothing about your character.
No offence, but I doubt you've had a chance to prove yourself once let alone be completly trustworthy.

Besides, our B/S/T board isn't exactly bustling with commerce in the first place.

Yup, I have been approved a some time ago by BF ... the whole approvement thing is a good idea, I had some pretty bad experience before, but here on Transfans I deal with people I can trust.

Speaking of trust, any of you know if the Super Toy Archive guy (Bickermore is his name) is thrustworthy? I'm about to sell him an UK exclusive TF.
