Tell you what, let me explain why these are stupid posts (besides the moronic grammar).
First, there is a Want-To-Buy board in the member classified section. If you want to buy something, you post there. You are not required to be selling something to be able to post in the correct section. If you were trying to post a parts wanted message in one of the for sale sections, you were doing it stupid to begin with. Posting it in the discussion area just makes it more stupid.
But that isn't actually why you were prevented from posting in the classified sections. This board doesn't allow people to post in the member classified section until they get a certain number of posts under their belts. I think it's 20, IIRC. That's to help build up at least a minimal track record for each poster to help avoid other members getting ripped off by the one-and-done scammers common on automotive boards. It's also to keep spammers and noobs who don't understand netiquette from mucking the place up with stupid off-topic posts.
To sum up, you didn't bother reading the rules, you tried to post in the wrong section, you ignored the correct section, you were too impatient to wait until you had enough history to post in the correct section, and you finally posted an off-topic message in a different wrong section. If you had bothered to take the time to get to know this board before jumping into something you didn't understand, your reception would have been a little friendlier.
Looks like one of the mods has moved your post to the correct section. You should thank them for doing that. Mods on most of the automotive boards will just delete your post altogether.
