dogsbody Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) Both of these are good sites, but there are rules to weed out those who would post improper things. They've had to go this route because of spammers. Chris Edited March 30, 2018 by dogsbody Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chriss7607 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I tried registering twice on hyperscale's forums. There were a lot of questions that I could have helped with. I was never allowed access and never bothered to give it another go, so it isn't just you as far as that one goes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cag_200 Posted March 31, 2018 Author Share Posted March 31, 2018 yeah... well... i got pissed off... Internet these days...it gets worse Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grey Ghost 531 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I think Hyperscale has got something weird going on where their server is sensitive about what you're posting from. There's talk of them finally changing hosts so maybe that will fix it. I like that site. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tigerfan112 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Dogsbody......Thanks for clarifying the position. As you have said, BM have had to take such measures to weed out 'drive-bys' and scammers that ruined it for the 99% of honest modellers out there. The system is still not 100% fool proof but it has put the majority of undesirables off. cag_200......take grave exception to the title of your OP. Taking umbrage because you do not like the rules of the site is no excuse and is unlikely to provide you with any progress when it comes to making requests for hard-to-find hobby items. I find that a little bit of tact, diplomacy, patience and guile goes a long way towards achieving your goal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I could not get to his title page for the life of me. Was it my error or has this effected others ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thegoodsgt Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I recently joined another forum (not model related), and they have a similar policy of requiring a number of posts before I can start a new topic. It was easy to reach the required posts within a couple of months. Steven Brown Scale Model Soup Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A gentleman from IPMS Tidewater saw an obituary from Niagara. Very sad. His website was a great service that's likely to not be repeated.I imagined it took years of effort for him to put that together and make it so easy to use. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Snowbird3a Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I thinks it's time the title of this thread was edited Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aeronca1121 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Should a new thread be started? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
a4s4eva Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 So it's crap because it stopped you doing exactly what the 100 post limit was designed to stop.... Perhaps you should make the effort to be part of the community rather than just using it for one single post... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Slartibartfast Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Yes. The OP wants to sell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) 1) Yes, on BM to post TO SELL SOMETHING you must have 100+ posts; that way folks don't just register to sell, it asks you to show some good faith as a member of the community. 2) Yep, wouldn't mind the title of this thread being slightly edited.... 3) Only reason I know BM is from the time our beloved ARC was offline during the crisis not too long ago. 4) The other site mentioned was my home years ago before I discovered ARC. I thought I was always a polite and decent contributor as I have tried to do here for over a decade and a half. Then one day the owner of that site contacted me and said they'd been having spam or something-or-other and were blocking the bandwidth (or something) it was coming from, and that it included my IP. So I was tried and convicted without warning. Only years later did I ONLY use that site to sell stuff. That's it. Was insulting and, dare I say in a non-wishy-washy-way, hurtful. Perchance when that happened I had just registered on ARC perhaps months before, and was welcomed with open arms into this wonderful family. I thank all of you for everything Edited April 2, 2018 by Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cag_200 Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) Title modified.. ARC is good but i thought Britmodeller would help saving extra shipping charges as it is more close to home. Having over 100 post before buying/selling.. I can't go for that. Edited April 2, 2018 by cag_200 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dogsbody Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Well, there ya go. Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
