Chances are they'd get bored of trying to be validated and so wouldn't be able to scam people.If you'd have read the new members guidelines you would have been told that, and that making topics on when you'll be validated/why you can't post in other areas will actually hinder your validation progress, in effect keeping you stuck in new members for longer.Have a read through the guidelines and the guide to valdiation making sure to take in account what they say when you make topics/posts and you'll be alright.

I told him to read the guide to validation and make use of it, eventually he'll be validated and he can buy things using the classifieds section. And seeing as the forum Admin/Mods can't help out members who make sales to other pre-members/non members its best not to advise that he contact them through email as it puts the seller in a greater risk.

matt middler Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Your going to have to sit tight and wait to get validated. new bikes will come up for sale all the time, you need to just be patient, everyone has to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
