10 threads

[TAS]

Not sure I understand why we have the 10 thread rule???

You should read the INGO FAQ.

And its 10 posts, not threads.

its pretty easy, just go say hi to TEN people.... welcome!

Personally I'm all for bumping it to at least 50 quality posts, it'll prevent people from just jumping on and using the for sale forum as a quick tool and require them to post so people can get more of a feel about them.

Robert, PLEASE STOP telling people to do that. Its a direct violation of the rule, as "Welcome!" doesn't constitute a quality post. Plus, how is a newbie going to "welcome" people here when they just got here themselves??

TAS - DO NOT DO THIS.

And as this has been brought up before, take a read through this thread. It explains everything.

I understand why you do the 10 post thing and have no problem with that.
I am am a member on several forums that also have classifieds and they do not have this same rule.
Maybe they should have this rule also! I personally do not use this or other forums for posting to the classifieds.

We feel this simple rule certainly raises the quality of the entire section.

It cuts down on the garbage and spam. I love the rule. Then again, I have more then 10 posts.

i dont see how anyone could have a problem finding 10 things to make a quality post on. what would it take 10-15 minutes to make 10 posts if you commented on everything you wanted.

im all for making the classifieds a site supporter/advertiser function. just my opinion but i think if you do sell things in the classifieds it is just good manners to spend the 10 dollars to help the site run. ive even sold stuff on here and siad i would take 10 dollars off the price for site supporters or take it off if you went ahead and sent ingo the money order. odly enough the guy i sold to didn't take the 10 dollar discount.

There are plenty of people who come in with no interest in the site whatsoever. Their only interest is to jump in, grab the good deal they saw, and then leave. That's just not what INGO is about.

True that!!!!

i have to be honest though i came to this site strictly for the classifieds. i never had joined any forums, and had no desire to sit at a computer and type and talk to people ive never met. i just wanted to sell a gun and go, but then i realized how awsome this site is and now you folks cant get rid of me. i guess the whole issue is a catch 22 because im sure im not the first person to come here for the classifieds and stick around because its awsome. but i did pony up the 10 dollars right away.

ROFL, I don't think I've read ten "quality" posts since I've been here

Aw. This makes me sad.
The FAQ is awesome, the Tactics & Training forum is insightful, the NFA forum is a wealth of information, I could go on and on...

Stop reading in the Politics and Break Room forums, and you'll do alright.

Is there a way to limit the number of threads one could start in a certain forum, the classifieds for example? If you only came here to meet the 10 post rule and then use the classifieds like gunbroker or something, it bothers me a little. Or have people pay 20 dollars or something to get to sell more than like 5 a year (start more than 5 threads.)

classifieds don't count.

I like the rule. I know may not have many quality posts, but I try. I keep getting these visitor messages on stuff, but I am a good boy and make them earn it.
