It should be changed my opinion.

Can you explain what you would change, and how you would change it, and how that change would get the same outcome that the owner would like for the forum?

Look if your trying to minimize scammers losers and general riff raff I get it but in the end even on HK forums were you have to pay to be in the classifieds period cant stop the issues we have. All we can do is be vigilant report a scam asap MODs enforce said rules and even then you will get scammers it's happening more and more unfortunately but a 50post rule? Kinda not going to work but if that's what makes you feel better well it is what it is .

doesn't seem like a very high hurdle.

Yep it's not like the rule was just implemented. Plenty here have just dealt with it without complaining.

And you know what they say about opinions.

I’m starting a pool.

 

[d.kaufman]

even on HK forums were you have to pay to be in the classifieds

You do realize this is an option here, right. Much cheaper than Armslist too

Unless you're a cheap b**tard.

It is what it is @31ST MEUSOC . This might enlighten you. Give it a read.

IMPORTANT info about our classifieds for the new guys from the tenured members' perspective:
https://www.indianagunowners.com/threads/info-for-the-new-guys-looking-at-the-ads-section.408311/

And its here because the owner and tenured membership like it. Many noobs that come here just looking to buy or sell dont. Many want something for nothing since a lot of the interwebz revolves around "free" access.


Oh, and welcome. Please head over to the introductions thread and say hi.

Many of us here have met and shot together, broken bread together, attended funerals together, etc.. Can you say the same about HK forums? (I truly don't know.) That's what makes INGO special and why we like to get a chance to "know" the folks that join, if only superficially through their postings and interactions with other members.

It isn't.

Spend 5 minutes composing a "quality" post - repeat seven times a day for a week and you have your fifty (minus 1). Also, you are less likely to pop up on the Mods radar if you spread the posts out over a week.

Secondly, people in the classifieds are probably going to be more trusting if you show that you are actually active on the forums and interested in participating in the give and take.

Or fork over $20.

Fifty posts at 5 minutes each is a little over four hours of work. Compared to just paying the $20, that means you are working for about $5/hour.

Yeah it's just like A-holes. Everyone has one but not many people want yours rubbed in their face!! lmao
