Hi,
I'll just like to share my point of view on one possible reason why some choose to post WTS threads in WTB section instead. Perhaps some of the 'reporters' here may have already suspected it - the reason is because these users aren't allowed to post in the restricted sections, namely Spree and WTS.
From what I understand, only members who have joined for over a year are allowed to post in these restricted sections. I also understand that the management/moderators exercise discretion (on a case by case basis) with regards to the granting of rights to members who have fulfilled the one-year condition.
May I know what are the criterion being looked at?
I have faithfully waited for a year and have written 3 times to the moderators requesting for posting rights. However, I received no news or indication on whether my application has been successful.
While I understand that one of the reasons for imposing this condition is to deter or minimise cases of fraud (especially in Spree organisations), some members like myself just want to be able to particpate in good overseas deals or go thru the forum as a marketplace (as the name implies) to sell their preloved items.
Sorry for the long post but I do hope to hear some feedback from the relevant authorities on this. Thanks.
