New user and hot deals

[mattjackets]

Hi moderators!
I registered my account a few days ago to thank the hot deals people for helping me get a great air compressor. Since then I've only posted a couple times, and I see that the forum is now locked to those of us with low post counts.

While I hope to contribute to other areas of the forum, my immediate interest is there hot deals. My last post before this one was to the Lowe's clearance thread where I let members know of a 75% off item I found in stock. I was hoping that maybe I could be granted access since I was actively contributing even with a low post count.

Thanks!

Edit: autocorrect nightmare

Yeah, I just saw the same thing. Rather stupid. Hope they fix this.

Sorry fellas... I'm working on something at the moment. Should be fixed by tomorrow.

Thank you Ryan. I just got locked out too.

Thank you Ryan. I just got locked out too.

Same here. Although me complaining about it is one way to bump up the post count, I guess...

I joined in 2010. I just don't post much. Seems like there should be a pass for older members.

 

[mattjackets]

Well, I don't feel so alone now! Based on the complaints I saw today I completely understand why it was locked down, but some of the people who exemplified the problem have >20 posts.

Anyway, mattjackets.postcount+=1

 

[mattjackets]

Aw, shucks, you guys are great! . Thanks mods!

Also joined a while back. I don’t post usually but have gotten great deals. Hope there’s a fix soon. Thanks!

I totally understand as some seemed to be taking advantage. But, I'd hate to be Ryan trying to figure out how to fix it! (?)

I am on the same boat here, and +1 to my post count to see hot deals again.

I agree some guys just gotta push it. Ryan even though im effected by the post count i do appreciate your work on this forum

Ugh. Now I’m at 11 posts.

Yup, almost there, keep it going...or better yet I hope they fix the issue.

 

[boblikestools]

I'm locked out as well. Now I'm just going to make posts to increase my post count...

 

[Crosley]

I've been a member since 2006 with only 5 posts. I read more than I post.

I bought several new tools during the end of 2018 via the "Deals" forum.

Thanks

 

[boblikestools]

Yeah I've bought a lot of tools after seeing them in the deals section as well. Maybe being a member for a specified length of time can be used if the change was intentional.
