I know there doesn't seem to be anything in the rules now about having a minimum post requirement before advertising but at least an introductory post would be good manners.

It just amazes me that people join a forum and bang, post something for sale without having made any other posts. Am I just picky and old fashioned?

The rules do apply, Dave, but we have temporarily relaxed them as everyone is a new member at the moment.

It is being closely monitored though as some will, no doubt, try to abuse it.

I just think it's a bit rude and taking liberties.

No Dave, i have to agree,i think its only good manners to introduce yourself on the first post.
Im looking for a job,or im selling whatever is not a good way to get started on a forum
