What does YOU HAVE INSUFFICIENT PRIVILEGES TO REPLY HERE on Vendor Connection mean?

[MingHenry]

hi all, when I look at the Vendor Connection forum/thread - the attached is what always shows up and I don't know what it means? Do I need to be admitted to the Vendor Connection in some way? Thanks.

I think it means you have insufficient privileges to reply there.

Meaning, you're not a vendor. If you'd like to be, try reading Zip's stickied post at the top of that forum.

Only vendors can reply to vendor posts. That way the message doesn’t get inundated with excess conversation.

So we can't ask questions on the vendor posts?

You can create a separate post with questions or you can reach out to the vendor yourself. They usually have contact information in their threads.

What I’m curious about is the Source/Supplier Reviews board. Shouldn’t we encourage people to post their reviews there? Seems to be blocked off for most people and not have many posts in general.

Unnecessary. I asked a question. I wanted to know what it means. Not interested in being a vendor, thanks.

If you want better information about that you should search this forum for an invite to peppys and go through the process of getting into the sources section.

I believe the previous poster is referencing the Source/Supplier Reviews for this platform.

There is a forum dedicated to Source/Supplier Reviews that is locked, therefore no discussions can be had.

It's probably to avoid vendors creating fake accounts to make reviews It's a lot less likely to happen if you need forum activity over time in order to be qualified to post
