Until you get to 50, all your posts will be suspected of just petty comments attempting to pad your stats. Nothing personal, it happens to everyone "new".

one liners are often used by those who want to "race to 50" to buy something shiny in the classifieds. (or sell). When mods see a bunch of those they tend to prune the one liners to slow the racer.

Posts like this, especially when there are a cluster of one liners back to back to back across various topics may get deleted:

"I know, I hate that too."

But a post like this would be considered quality:

"I know, I hate that too.

When I go shopping, I dont want to scan my own stuff. I dont get a discount for doing the work of a cashier, so why should I do the work their profits are supposed to go toward paying?

Is this what "fight for $15" is becoming? More self serves and less people actually helping me?"

You had a string of 3 and 4 word posts. Does not matter when you joined your 1st 50 have o be quality. After that let the fun begin.

The rule,
We want to welcome you to INGO. We also want to take this opportunity to ask you to read the FAQ which can be found in my signature below. It's pointed out in great detail why we have the 50 post rule because to the newcomer it can seem like an obscure rule for us to want to enforce. In order to participate in the classifieds, you must contribute to the forum by either 1) content in the form of 50 quality posts (not one liners) or 2) financially by becoming a site supporter. That information can be found here: https://www.indianagunowners.com/forums/site_s..._are_here.html

Please remember, we are a forum first and then a place for classifieds. There is a plethora of information available here and that's what keeps people here and what allows us to have a classifieds section.

Thanks!

Yep, nothing personal. It's just the case of previous people have abused it so bad we have to keep an on it in the beginning.

I honestly thought the 2 word game and song title games were set up as fun ways to help a newbie out.

Honestly I did sign up to reply to an ad. I have no intention of ever posting and ad and I am sure it will sell the day before I hit 50. I know other boards have this more to prevent scammers from posting in the classifieds so I get it.

I am not one to just post one liners (except in the games) as I like to blab on topics I relate to and there are a good amount of those here. So to get 50 I find myself searching harder for those kind of topics vs. Just hanging out and posting when something catches my eye.

after I do hit 50 look out 2 word game and song title Game.
