bonjour richard,
it would seem your friend 'dutchman1948' [100% (37)] has not reached the threshold for + feedbacks (100) or done a postal verification. there is nothing you can do or get upset about as it must be your friend who has to initiate these proceedings.
amities,
cajunsr.

FROM THE DELCAMPE NEWSLETTER:
Forum access restricted to verified members or members with high ratings
A positive decision for the community active on the Delcampe forum
Tue 30th Sep 2008 04:48:23
Dear members,
We first announced that posting messages on the forum would, from now on, only be available for verified members. (see "restricted access to the forum").
Following this information, we received interesting requests from members asking us to adjust these restrictive measures so that most people can still access the forum.
We debated on the forum and many members volunteered to become "moderators on the forum". This was a necessary condition to have a well-managed forum!
So, how does it work? Members who want to participate in a debate or post a new message on the forum (while respecting our Terms and Conditions) must either subscribe to postal verification or have 100 feedbacks at least (a ratings average of 95%).
It should also be pointed out that everybody, member or not, can read messages but not reply or post new ones.
This new rule will be implemented from today onwards.
Have a nice chat on the Delcampe forum!
Sincerely yours, Sebastien Delcampe
