how do i get permission reinstated to view classified section? thanks

I can view the classifieds while logged out. Did you happen to run afoul of the regulators? IP blocked?

yes i did run afoul with regulator

There is no email address in your profile, so no way for a member to contact you directly, offline.

The grip screws that you are looking for are shown "in stock" on Greg Cote's website..

Greg is a long-time member of SIGforum; his prices and fast shipping are well known here.

They are also shown in stock on the Top Gun Supply website; Tom is also a long-time member here, and Top Gun's rapid shipping is legendary. They have been a reputation for shipping before you order.

You can post in the the "sig forum office" section and ask the boss. He will tell you if reinstatement is an option and what any conditions are.

Or webmaster@sigforum.com if you prefer to keep things a bit more discrete.

You had permissions to access Classifieds and those permissions were revoked. This is not done randomly. In the past, you must have violated the rules to a great degree.

Ok, so what did you do that got you banned from the Classifieds?

Understand: Honesty, forthrightness, and... well, repentance goes a long way with around here. Mistakes, screwing-up, even so badly as to overtly disregard the clearly posted rules, are generally pardonable offenses if you show you understand where you went wrong, cop to it, express contrition, and pledge to go forth and do it no more.

Works both ways, too. I've crossed a line (more than once, if memory serves), been called on it, and apologized. He nicked me, once, later felt it had been unwarranted, and apologized for it.

It's pretty simple, really: Be a mensch

to be honest it's been a while-but i didnot answer a classified i was in interested in a timely manner,and was reprimanded for that-but i have learn lesson sorry for the infraction.
thanks

ISTM unlikely anybody'd be reprimanded, much less barred, for expressing interest in a posted WTS/WTB, then dropping it. Unless it was something as egregious as posting "I'll take it," then going radio silent, leaving the seller hanging.

Permission denied. That area is...

classified.

The worse the pun, the better the fun!

I have a vague recollection of that. I think that parabellum asked him, several times, to reply and tireman did not respond, which wound up really annoying parabellum. I think that there were some warning shots fired and when there was still no response, access to classifieds was removed. I might be off on some details, but I'm pretty sure that was the general flow of events.
