warpspeed Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 OK, first lets make it clear that I get the 25 post rule to list in the classifieds. But come on. Cut someone off at the knees because they only have 23 posts? I get the guy with 2 or 3, but 23???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Merricks Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 If you only knew the effort that is put in to keeping the classifieds as clean as they are. And yes after I have nixed one the message follows "well so so doesnt have 25 post." Just think of it being like Virgina Count but backwards.

blkbrd Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 I got cut off "at the knees" several times, and I did deserve it as I didn't read the 25. From seeing other Forums like AR15.com and what happens, I have to commend the moderators for taking the time to enforce this one. Of course I'm just past 25, and don't have anything to sell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 (edited) The under-25 classified ad post shouldn't count, nor should any posts whining about the policy count toward the 25. Maybe benos can turn on the karma feature and we can all rate each others' post and give them good karma. Enough karma and you can post ads. No? I didn't think so. Then how about benos comes up with an arbitrary number of posts he thinks is apt to produce more community interaction and prevent internet transient yard sales? That's the way it's done.

Matt Ulberg Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 While participation is key to the success of this board, I have found 90% of my questions are not unique, and spend more time searching through old posts to solve my questions, hence the low post count. Justification for a low post count from a frequent (daily) lurker. Personally, I have no problem with the 25 post rule, but I am not selling anything right now either...

Matt Ulberg Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Too funny. That was my 25th post! Now, what to sell.... Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Maybe we should make one thread in which people can make their 25 posts . Now I personally think Brian is being way too nice with only 25 posts I would never cut anyone off at the knees, but I think it is pretty fair to have something like a "seriousness-check" before people can sell their stuff on these boards (I have seen what can happen if you let people use places like this just to sell stuff ) .

ErikW Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 Well I guess it's not a feature of ibforums. Maybe it was a feature of the old Ikonboard. I'm pretty sure it was and benos had it turned off. I've seen it on other boards... too hippy for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TXAG Somehow, you've created a second login "TXAG93". Login under your original username: "texasag93" and you should be able to post in the classifieds.

Flexmoney Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Figure out which username you want to keep. Let me know what both are. I'll delete one, then up date the post count.
