    so any answers in this thread is a spam?! i think this is a discussion about new rules in garage section.

    actually i'd like to continue it in section where posts count is not increased, to be sure my messages are not misinterpreted as a spam or flood...

    well, i understand the idea, but still don't understand the criteria. my interests are in automotive - and i don't want to spam, but as for now i can't understand what should i do to access a garage in future. all my previous messages were helpful, i think.

        posting the same answers and questions in different threads that are asking the same thing over and over is SPAM and will result in posts being deleted

        posting 10-100 times in a few short hours is mass SPAMMING and will result in deletion of posts and a 1-3 month ban

        posting again and again knowing your posts are being deleted will result in a FULL BAN

        Read the stickies, read the rules and read the answers that are being given..........

          Secondly I can see why this has happened as I'm a perfect example. Found people like myself that were looking for ETKA updates and didn't really look at any other sections.

          It takes something like certain forums being closed to make you look further afield. As a result I've changed my settings and removed the sections I won't have any interest in so looking through is less daunting. I'll be a better contributor because of the garage forum being temporarily closed and I bet others will too.

          With regards to car related questions there are quite a few dedicated enthusiast sites so I would have though you would probably be better off asking on there for specific model questions/problems

          Apologies if I have waffled
          No need to apologise, but also note until today your post count was 1 per day, one shouldn't be in a rush to try boost your count, it WILL be flagged and you will be penalised, there is nothing wrong with replying or offering help, but doing it for the wrong reason's will only work against you, there are many members who until the last few days didn't make a single post, then felt the need to make a lot you will recognise them easily they are the ones with Banned under there names.

            Drakov,

            The problem is that by not being from Europe, knowing jack shite about cable and satellite TV (or freemason conspiracies for that matter), it's bloody hard to add anything worthwhile to the discussions.

            I made a comment elsewhere on the forum about getting the feel for a forum before posting on it. It appears that such netiquette is no longer required.

            Non the less, I shall soldier on and lay in wait for someone needing assistance in colonial matters until I can get my teeth back into my specialty.

            Cheers!
            ahl.

              seeing as you're not from Europe you might have some nice recipes the rest of us wouldn't have, or you could give us some local knowledge on where you live in a holiday destinations thread.

                I can understand the reasons behind these new rules (i think i do anyway) and some respect they are good and understandable. These are specilaist section of the forums and you have to earn your way upto them. By helping ppl and understanding the first and for most rule of any forum. SHARING the knowledge.

                I would say I was disapponted a little but not anymore as I think it will good to go around the other sections of the forum and help somebody on the way.

                P.S not trying to spam. Just a thought.

                Don't forget to say "THANKS", if my post helped you

                  I can understand the reason, for this new rules. but i think if warning message previously for all the member to correct her attitude.
                  i find Garage section very useful, i can't post because all me resource are in French (they are a English forum). SO WHAT CAN I DO TO GET ACCESS FOR THIS SECTION.


                  SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH

                      To me spoke to thanks in section garage why me do not start up if few messages are means from me it is necessary to hide the information, I am not engaged in a spam, therefore and posts I have not enough.

                          Not to be funny but I try to search, and read posts before asking a stupid question thats been asked 1000 times before. I don't know how many times I've seen someone with a ton of posts that has nothing to say.

                            I thought it might have been nice with a private message about the new rules in the Garage forum.
                            I just spend half an hour to find out why i could not acces.

                              The ?Thank You? from users doesn?t count as credit? I wanted to edit info in my post. I understand the problem. I guess there is not an easy fix.

                              I enjoy DK
                              Thanks
