    And I think that's the way it should be.

    I'd also agree with that Dave - though I think the "rule book" tends to come out when someone joins, and their first post is to either advertise something for sale, or look to buy something another member is selling - if this was Craiglist or Gumtree then I don't think that would be a problem, but as far as I see it, the "classifieds" here are very much a service for members and incidental to the general forum chatter - so some involvement in the latter is encouraged before taking advantage of the free services. As someone once put it - "if you want to sit round the fire you have to get up and put a log on it"

    Anyway, don't be scared off Denis - we're a pretty friendly bunch, come on in - you might enjoy it!

    I welcome the approach of the Moderators. I too consider the AoS classifieds to be a bonus of forum membership, and having bought and sold via them, enjoy the increased peace of mind that comes from having some prior acquaintance with other contributors.

    An important point, John - and one of the main reasons why we insist that people introduce themselves properly, and participate in our community a little, before using the classifieds section.

    I'm considering imposing a rule, whereby only members with a minimum of 30 posts, inclusive of a proper introduction in the Welcome area, and who thus represent a 'known quantity', are allowed to access the Private Exhibitions area.....

    Would anyone have any objections to this?

    Marco, with respect, anyone can post 30 odd posts in a day, it don't mean you know anything about them. Personally i feel there should be some kind of time frame along with a postage minimum. Does that sound fair and workable, or draconian and unhelpful?

    I think this is a good idea, it would also take some of the repetitive posting work off the moderators.

    That's a very good idea Marco. I used to belong to a travel forum that required 25 (good) posts before they could use certain sections of the forum. This was also subject to Moderator approval, as anyone can post 25 smilies or 'yeah man, that's great!' It stopped the constant single posting by some who just wanted something out of the forum, but weren't prepared to give anything back.

    I must admit to joining the Gearslutz forum just to advertise - the talk there is far too geeky and over the top studio-nerdy for me to ever join in.

    However, the classifieds aren't even viewable until you've contributed and been on their for a while, let alone advertise anything..

    It is a massive forum and attracts even acclaimed producers and engineers so I guess they have a more exclusive feel to it all to uphold..

    .. should that be relevent.
