New Club Lexus members may not be able to create for sale posts in the marketplace forums until you have met a certain criteria with minimum posts and time as a member on Club Lexus.

Anyone who does not comply with these rules will be warned and possibly banned from the classifieds or from Club Lexus. For your safety and the safety of others, please comply with the Classifieds rules and read the buyers advice at the end of this post. If you see anything suspicious or have a questionable sale sent to you via PM, please push the report a post button or contact a moderator.

Any member who receives negative feedback from a transaction may have their classified forum access removed without notice.

Club Lexus assumes no ownership or risk in your purchases in the Marketplace - the transaction is between you and the seller. Both buyers and sellers should post feedback in iTrader after your transaction is completed after reading the iTrader rules.

1) We are restricting creation of sales threads in our Classified forums to our active forum members only. This means members must contribute to the discussion forum for a minimum of 30 days AND 30 posts before they can post any items for sale. They can respond to existing threads to ask questions and purchase items from qualified members. This change is due to a significant increase of zero-history members posting high dollar items for sale without vouches.

2) We are removing signature capability, visitor messaging capability, URL posting ability, full garage access and limiting (smaller) private message boxes for these members who don't meet the 30 day / 30 post criteria as well. This is due to a massive influx of automated and overseas spammers who abuse these features on a daily basis.

Once members meet both the minimum post-count and time criteria, they will be automatically promoted to the group that can post items for sale and have full access to the other capabilities. If members meet these criteria but have not been active on Club Lexus for some time, they must make a post in the discussion forums before being promoted.

Promotions will happen within two days of meeting the minimum criteria, so please be patient.

We are making these changes to make Club Lexus a safer and more spam-free environment; thank you for your understanding.

Please PM me if you have any questions.
