The Welsh Cruiser Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 I'm not new to boating but I'm a newish member here. I don't seem to be able to reply to any topics in the virtual pub but it's OK elsewhere. Might there be a problem with my account, do I need to contact someone who administers the site or something?

Tumshie Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) You haven't made enough posts yet - it used to be 5 but it's gone up to 10 I think.? It will be in the Ts&Cs somewhere. https://www.canalworld.net/forums/index.php?/guidelines/ Yup - this bit. As part of member validation process, new members are not permitted to post in the ‘Virtual Pub’ area until a minimum of 10 posts have been made elsewhere on the forum and to the satisfaction of the moderation team.

So before you can post in the VP you must make 10 posts, but any posts you make in the VP do not count towards the 10 post you need before you can post.

I wonder if this is a mandatory rule, or one of those occasional rules only enforced with rigour on a wet Tuesday with a full moon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Welsh Cruiser Posted December 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 OK then I'll make the necessary 10 posts elsewhere, rather than in the virtual pub, in order that I can post in the virtual pub, without upsetting anyone. Does that have all the angles covered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Welsh Cruiser Posted December 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Perhaps I won't bother after all. I'm a survival specialist and mountaineer when I'm not cruising the canals so pretty able to look after myself physically, but if I'm being sniped unduly with words, not sure how able I am really.

There is this thing where you are allowed to post political threads if the mods are in one particular mood, but not if they are in another. Political threads are officially banned but the VP is littered with them, so not generally enforced. So if you like Russian roulette, have try once you're in. What's the big fascination with the VP anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The forum has a lot of nice people who will do their very best to help us all out. Please don't take my comment in a bad way it's a great forum. Like any other forum it can get a little heated with differences of opinion. Boating is brill it changed my life for the better all the best in your adventures. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
