New! - Access for new members to the trades area

[sonkaldebi]

hello all

Do you get a message saying you have been appoved or is it a case of just checking each time you log in?

Cheers

Ste

[claire80]

just a case of checking and clicking the trades section im afraid

[dunstanl]

what is the normal turnaround time?

do you get notified if you are rejected?

[claire80]

there is no notification you just need to click the trades section to see if it lets you in , we try and look at them each day but this is not always possible

Hello.. this will be my first post I guess!

So just to clarify as it looks like your rules change a bit.. I need to make 5 posts at least.. and wait until I've been on here for 5 days to get going?

[lisakeith]

i have posted more than 5 posts how do i know if i have been allowed to acess trades?

Have you actually applied?

[lisakeith]

yes i applied........x

[Emma]

you'll either be accepted or denied then as soon as a mod gets chance to look over the requests! You'll then need to check every day or so by clicking on the relevant section to see whether it lets you in!

[lisakeith]

hiya,i tried again to access trades but it just says i not got permission?

[l3link182]

Either you've been rejected for some reason, or the mods havent had a chance to look at it, when did you apply?

Now members need to request access to join the trades area, and your request will be looked at by a member of eXceems staff. All requests will be looked at within 24 hours, though in the few cases were the staff feel a second opinion is needed, it will be passed on to me to take a look at.

To request trade access simply goto the following link:

• http://www.exceem.co.uk/forums/profi...editusergroups

(A similar function will also be setup for members who wish to contribute to the information area)

The requirement to access the trades area will remain the same

• Be a member of eXceem for 5 days
• Created 5 meaningful posts

Additionally a new requirement will be made

• Must not be using a proxy while accessing eXceem (we know about proxies that ISP's use so these wont count)

I hope this makes sense, while I dont want to make the trades area to hard to get access to, I do want to restrict it from the few that choose to scam, to protect eXceems trustworthy traders. If you have any feedback please let me know

Hi, any update on the trade area? I understand it's closed for "renovations" at the moment. I assume that's why I see an orange button next to it from the forum home page?

Will it be open for business soon?

Thanks

J

[claire80]

the orange button is always there

[lisakeith]

i asked to be accepted yesterday if that helps.

[Jon]

its open for business (and has been all weekend - planed work didnt happen)

[Gladstone_J]

So how do I post a new trade? I don't see any "post new thread" type buttons on the site? I asked claire80 the same question and she said that I couldn't see it because the button wasn't there at the moment (due to the upgrades)

[claire80]

go to exceem trades , then click the view trades in the section you want to post in eg freepay, then at the top where it says the number of active trades etc it says new trade , click that and your away

Hello, I requested to join the trade area yesterday however I do not think I have been accepted. I think I have completed all the requirements. Please can you confirm?

I do believe you mentioned this fact, along with a ref link, which is not allowed.

Thing is Sue, most people here are already signed up to that website and/or similar ones so no one will really be interested.

Just a quick post to see if you received my application for access to the trade section. I requested via the new link.

Thanks
