Yes a glitch. Trying to stop scammers from registering & immediately starting a conversation with a member who has a wanted ad. They say they have the part or car & you send the $ but no part/ car is forthcoming.
Technically we want 2 or 3 posts by them before they are allowed to use conversation. Hopefully we notice their weird post & flick them before there is trouble. This is a great idea the mods had.
I haven't set the promotion to move you to "allowed". I'll do it now.
Thanks @gibgib, can now start conversations.
And 10 years after asking if I could be given access to Aussie Flog, or the number of posts required, thanks to the lockdown boredom I appear to have finally reached the threshold.
