The race to 50, who will it be today and what do they want

[bwframe]

Can't remove posts just because they're posting a lot. A lot of one-liners were indeed removed. But meaningful posts were left

Our rules are apparently breeding a smarter batch of runners.
When I checked the gents posts, they were the norm for a man on a mission. Little if any content, without much in the way of caps or punctuation.
How was it so obvious? My e-mail box filled up with the same posters name on most of the posts...

At least now they gotta post pics. That's a plus anyway.

ok i admit, i know nothing of web design, or about websites, but to solve the "whole 50 post rule" once and for all, is there any way to make the classifieds "invisable" till you get to 50 posts?

i mean we all see what happens, joe blow is looking for the deal of a lifetime, or sell his gen-u-wine highpoint c9 that was carried by General George S. Patton himself(at the battle of Thermopylae) fo the low price of 5 thousand dollars!(and believe me its a STEAL).

if we remove the temptation, we remove the trolls, you know, the "i agree" posts and "1,2,3," and so on

fyi i've only been interested in ONE item in the classifieds, a 25.00 holster, that someone beat me to it.

This is sort of a double edged sword though. Maybe someone was drawn here by the classifieds initially and turned out to be a long standing member with lots of great contributions to the community. Had we locked down the classifieds, some people would never turn up.

Post count- 0 zero notta zilch

Looks like he has made some good friends with IPFW campus. Hope he is toned down a little on here or he won't last long.

i think i worded it wrong, the newbie would see "classifieds" and the 50 post rule would be there, or info on how to become a site supporter, but they wouldn't see glock 19 for sale,or be able to view any classifieds. i think a long standing member in good faith would be here if they could or couldn't use the classified portion on ingo.

idk if im a exception rather than a rule,but ive never used the classifieds, i do look at them, and did send a pm to someone who said he didnt know if his gun had the accutrigger or not, i pm'd him and told him how to tell so he could correct his listing. and considering the number of members, and the number of classified's more are on here for conversation, not commerce.

Clearly he knows how to win friends and influence people. How did you know it was him?

His name is in his profile. Simple google pulled it up.

 

[OakRiver]

That would do it

 

[Dead Duck]

Look at his username. He's obviously a troll. Just talk about him like he's not here. Ya know, like we do with Dead Duck when he's not around.

That sounds like a good idea to me. It would really cut back on the speed posters. Since it is a bit of a problem. I have seen other sites that open up more stuff when you become a supporter.

Usually they aren't so open and blatant about it.

I think we may have a new runner.

OOOOHHHH,

beat me to it.

missed it by that much

 

[MCgrease08]

He might get 50 just from the introduction thread at the rate he's going.

 

[dieselrealtor]

but he "doesn't want to waste his evening"

 

[mbills2223]

Also, from what I've seen online, that isn't a great deal on the gun he wants, considering it's used

 

[churchmouse]

Lets watch this guy. He looks like he could be some fun.

 

[pudly]

Sorry to rain on your parade guys. I'm trying to help him along.

I understand. Sorry this not how I wanna start my relationship with the members of INGO... After all I am going to be here for a while. I got carried away a little when I saw it in the classified

Oh me too. Not report him....watch him. He seems to be OK.

 

[mbills2223]

Good for him for becoming a site supporter, but he could've got a brand new one for just about the same money when it's all said and done. Hopefully he'll get the guy down a little bit and get himself a good deal...and hopefully he won't ditch us when he gets it
