And since you are being so pleasant I must ask

I love the fact that I cannot post in the classifieds, or even pm a seller because my post count inst high enough..

I feel your pain bro. It's a wee-todd-id rule. Maybe one day the powers that be will come to their senses and get rid of it.

I wondered how long it would be before you showed up.

Give it a rest man, it's Fenway's House, his rules.. You want a wide open Forum with no rules, start one of your own...

Correct me if I am wrong, but this is the most successful gun Forum in Indiana.. Why fix what ain't broke..

I just don't understand why you have such a problem with it? It's a privately owned site, and it's obviously not hindering membership.. So what's the rub, bub?

Do you ever post other than to complain about this rule?

I do not mind the 50 count rule but it pisses me off when I make some posts and they get deleted with no message of why. They were not offensive and they related to the op topic.

It's done to see who really wants to be a member & who's a troll

Don't change a thing.......clearly it works! 26000+ members and over 3.5 million posts speaks for itself.

They must have been too short. In order for them to count they have to be at least a sentence or more. After you hit 50 posts you can say things like awesome & thanks and the posts will count. Until then you have to drag out your sentence to prove you really want to be friends with us.

Hang in there, you'll get your 50 posts before you know it. Some of us who are more chatty can do 50 posts in a a weekend or less.

Yup.

The first 50 are more scrutinized than later ones, so they need to be "quality" posts. Short comments like "Me too", "Yup", "I agree with that" or "Glocks are the best" or "1", "2" or "3" are considered junk that is most likely posted by someone trying to throw in 50 posts just to make it to the classifieds. It creates useless clutter on the web site that just wastes other people's time. It happens *very* often and the moderators have a lot of ground to cover, so they don't spend time explaining it over and over.

If you aren't in a rush to the classifieds, then just post when you feel you have something to contribute or ask legitimate questions. You'll be there before you know it.

LOL....wut?

 

[GBuck]

Some of us who are more chatty can do 50 posts in an hour or less.

FTFY. No, I'm not kidding.

I am definitely not a troll. I am a professional accountant for a large corporation and I love to learn from the site. I do more reading to learn than anything but I have recently started posting even though I read for a long time.

I try to stay away from all the other bs that goes on. I get on here to learn and relax and not get wrapped up in the drama.

Sorry about that. Check out the 3 links in my signature below and you'll see the reason they were removed, and why you didn't receive a full explanation as to why they were removed.

Understand that you're not the first member to be unaware of the rules and have this happen. So that's why folks are giving you a hard time. It's nothing personal.

^^^^^^
Straight forward, simple and to the point. A new member who actually see's the bigger picture.


What amazes me is the cranky a$$ few who are so hell bent on trying to reach the classifieds that they can't follow the same simple rules that most of the TWENTY SIX THOUSAND others who are members of this great forum have followed from it's inception.

It's a simple concept, participate in some meaningful contributable way, so members who want to sell or buy in the classifieds can get a feel of who they are selling or buying from. So that they may gauge if they are dealing with a person of reputable character.

After all, that is a requirement of holding a Indiana LTCH, why not try to display it.
