    Default Qualifying Period.

    A few recent threads have prompted this.

    On another forum, not woodwork related, that I am a member of, you have to be a member for 90 days before you can view or post in the "Buy Sell Swap" section.

    Do you think we need something like that here?

    View - No.

    Post - possibly but we are moderated so the Big 'R' can step in if needed. 90 days would be too long though.
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    Im curious as to why you have raised this, termite. Does it bother you when someone's first post is in buy sell swap, or have there been some bad experiences there that im unaware of?

    If so maybe more than a qualifying time period may be good, sufficient reputation points??? anyway, I dont understand the problem yet so no real point in me looking at a solution is there?

    Just asking for overall opinions, I'm sure there are valid reasons for and against.

    Is there anything easier done than said?

    G'day,

    My days of qualifying have long gone. In days gone by I used to pull up the lights in my old XE and drag others off.
    I make things, I just take a long time.

    G'day Gumby,

    Bugger you're a hard bloke to come back with a good one liner.

    But I always left two fat black lines. Once I forgot to change gears and bounced the valves - oops!

    I've never thought about it.

    Why would we need one? :confused:

    G'day CraigB,

    No mate, you need more than one valve under the bonnet.

    Yep, Gumby has definitely earned his signature. He's King of the Hijack.

    This was basically the idea of starting a more or less useless poll, to find out who would get the s...s with it first and do a decent job on it.

    Hail King Gumby.
