This is not fair!

Hello
I did take the time to read all of the rules and there is something that's bothering me.
I understand that there is a 15 posts requirement to be able to access WTB section.
But I have never seen a marketplace or forum restrict its own clients in this way,
Especially when I am simply trying to buy something...
But whatever...
The issue is that some members are able to bypass this rule by purchasing a membership

After seeing this I no longer believe the rule was made for the benefit of the community...
To me, this gives the impression that you are trying to put this behind a paywall and squeeze as much money as possible from new members...
Suggestions:

1. Allow everyone to post in WTB

or
2. Enforce the same rules for everyone

Until fairer rules are implemented, I will be taking my business elsewhere.
Thank you for your time.

Sorry friend
Just try to reach out to the support

if this guy is not a scammer like @chattis, still around after 5 scam reports, it won't be so ridiculous, I hope he is at least delivering something

I think it's totally fair and correct this rule. Sadly every now and then a scammer try to create topics about "oportunities" that older and / or more experienced members clearly now it's a scam, but maybe newer ones won't figure this out., so this rule refrains that (of course there must be other reasons, i'm pointing my pov on that only).

So if you don't want to participate in the forum, go elsewhere, but know that the same rule you complain is the rule that helps the forum to be as free of scammers as possible

Please note that the OP was not banned for this thread.

And, once again, it doesn't take a whole lot to organically reach 15 posts. Find some discussions that interest you, participate, and suddenly you have met the requirements to post in the WTB/HAF sections.
