There is no "official" requirement to post at all (in principle, we could set one up, as other forums do, to ensure people can't use Classifieds until they have lodged x number of posts on other sub-forums...for example).
However all we do ask is that people introduce themselves. That's only polite

So this was the basic premise of the cull warning.
In case any of the readers were not aware, an increasingly significant amount of time was being spent by the volunteer Moderators, managing manual anti-spammer countermeasures. It's all been a balance between the openness of the community versus the need to keep undesirables out (and some of the spammers were far too far over the edge for even our liberal tastes...).
If anyone else who has been culled is reading this, please don't be put off re-joining, we'd be thrilled to have you continue your membership. Like I said, you need only introduce yourself.
And remember. You don't have to be Scottish, and you don't have to own an Elise, to join
