CHANGES TO ZCLUB.NET CLASSIFIED SECTION
Well folks, after exhaustive discussion and seemingly endless debate we've adopted a new system for the Classified Adverts section. For the small annual fee for joining the ZClub there are many benefits, most of which I'm sure you're aware (if not PM me and I'll do my best to answer / point you in the direction of a thread that does). It was felt however that another benefit should be the possibility of viewing classified adverts a whole week before un-paid / website members, in order to have 'first dibs' on car parts that are becoming more and more difficult to obtain.
If you're a paid up member who's selling, this is how it works:
1. You place your advert as normal.
2. Your advert goes to moderation so it can be placed in the members only section by committee (within 24hrs)..
3. For the next seven days it is viewable by red / paid up members so club members in need are given a 'head-start / early opportunity' to get their hands on your item/s.
4. After seven days, anyone can see your advert, opening it up to the general public.
It's that simple.
If you're a non-member / website member who's selling, this is how it works:
1. You place your advert as normal, but put that people will need to PM you if they're interested and not post on the advert.
2. Your advert goes to moderation so it can be placed in the members only section by committee (within 24hrs).
3. For the next seven days it is viewable by red / paid up members so club members in need are given a 'head-start / early opportunity' to get their hands on your item/s.
4. After seven days, anyone can see your advert, opening it up to the general public.
This was deemed fair by the committee after it was put to a public poll and the resounding result was for a seven day grace period for full members. This may change in future but for the mean time, that's the system we've put in place. There is no conspiracy here and it's not directed at any members / non-members in particular but something we've been deliberating on for a long while. If you have any thoughts / comments / concerns (that you've not already aired) please PM me and I'll do my best to answer.
