Changes to The Marketplace
-
How about an exception to the people that have spent a lot of money over the years with iron heart ?
There’s no way to implement that on this software. Even if there was, we wouldn’t, because this isn’t about rewarding or penalising anyone. It’s about preventing an increasing issue with spam/scams.

I think you will toughen up more as you along
Otherwise it will weaken the forum system.
Plus there so many brain dead can’t read the rules..
For example Facebook clearly says no selling on Iron Heart group.
Still people breaking the rules..
You fuck with system you bring on your self.
Stay jail free…
How hard is that.

Thank you; would like to contribute more to forum. It is something I check delay. Have lots of great photos of iron gear that I love and is well worn. Just seems to be something I haven’t found the ability to put into my habit of routine. I do agree that this could make for a stronger Forum

I am new. Before the change, I sold 1 shirt and bought a bunch. I don't think 20 post requirements is not too much. It is free for everyone, so I am very happy to be here and will visit IH very often.
Date time stamps with user name and items for sale will help eliminate frauds. Buyers should exercise this even the forum does not require it.
Thank you

I personally think this is a great idea and support the tagging name with username and date to cut down on the amount of spam. I was finding the selling thread to be unwieldy as it was and way disproportionate in terms of people wanting to buy versus people trying to sell.

Seems resonable
Recently found out about IH and already have picked up a few pieces, its a lovely brand and i love everything from the quality to the history to the fantastic style

Hi,
Silly question but how can I check how many posts I have?
I have visited the Gosport store 3 times and had great experiences alongside buying on the forum and listing a few items which eventually too.Maybe another way is to only allow IH items for sale or to charge a nominal one off fee to list?
Whilst I love my IH collection (Kersey shirt, 666 25oz, 666 21oz, 666 21od and 666 slub) I haven't really got any fade-worthy pics yet.
Other idea is to potentially run a referral scheme. New members can only join if an existing member can vouch for them.
Either way, I will get my 20 posts up (hopefully without clogging up to many threads) to allow my ocd of daily browsing to resume. FWIW items listed on the forum were always better described and better packaged than elsewhere.

Thanks buddy

I don't think the 20 post limit is too much and I am pretty new here. I have bought about 6 shirts and a Jacket, I am actually finding myself looking forward to posting some fade or even fit pics in the future.
This really is a great forum for advice and even "window shopping" to name but a few things.
The small post limit to access the Marketplace ain't that bad in the grand scheme of things.

Please don't get caught up in the "I need to post fit pics/pics of faded denim etc", there are 100's of other boards with people talking about, cars, houses, knives, coffee, wine, beer, scuba diving, grooming, you name it, there's probably a topic on here. Just use the search engine to find.
And if you are new here:
-
I literally can't remember the last time I posted a fit pic or a pic of faded denim, and I've been here for a long time. That's the great thing about this forum. So many resources, and so many other interests to get lost in. And if you want, you can make some friends while you're at it.

My wallet said thank you for locked me out temporary

Wouldn't it be possible to grant longterm loyal IH UK customers access to the marketplace?
I had some great deals over the years on the Marketplace, and I'm really missing it

That has been covered earlier in the thread.
It is not possible, as the software mechanics that run the forum don’t allow for it. Even if they did, we wouldn’t as this isn’t about rewarding or penalising anyone. It is about combating a spam/scam problem that was spoiling the functionality of the entire user experience.
20 posts is all it takes and the Marketplace opens. When the forum migrates to a new, modern platform we will likely not have to do this.

Ok, thanks for clarifying.
As some people mentioned, it's great for the wallet, but you miss something that you enjoyed for many years.
