50 posts

[Kutnupe14]

I get the 50 post needed to post a classified. Even to open a thread. However classifieds go both ways; buy and sell. There is a item in classifieds I would buy; item has been unsold for 2 weeks now. I assume the seller wants to sell as it has been bumped. BUT, I can't send the guy $2400 because I don't have 50 posts. No issue with scams or spam from the people actually giving money I would think. Honestly, i would be the one worried about getting scammed, because i'm the one sending money and hoping the seller actually sends the item sold haha... thoughts?

You have a point about being worried about being scammed. If you interact more, you could possibly get a better handle on who the seller is.

Agree. However i can read the ads and the comments left from other buyers to BUCKNUT. All i have read says he's honest.

32 more posts and i can actually ask him if he would ship for a fee. justs seems like a needless wait for 2 honest people.

I hate to break it to you, but you'll need more than 32 one or two line posts. The first 50 posts need to be quality posts, meaning a bit more than another short post for the next number to get to 50.

The links I posted up thread will explain things in more detail.

Believe my posts in this thread have substance and thought. Trying to convey my reasoning and some sort of a discussion rather than just a "go somewhere else"

OK. You should be at 50 posts right now. I will take care of that.

Now......we have a set of rules. We are sticklers they be followed. The one you are not very happy with is one of them.
It is in place for good reason. It is obvious you saw something you wanted and joined. Great. You paid the site fee. Wonderful. Let me take care of your post count.
This thread is not about your count.

Not so much Taboo it is just a repeat issue.

We don't do ridicule here at INGO. Abuse maybe, dog-piling definitely, not ridicule.

I think the 50 post minimum to use the classifieds is a great idea, and I know it is often complained about by those folks that want to sign up and sell something. I suggest that posting classes and training opportunities by the trainer or company should require 50 posts as well. Folks who have made 20 posts and it is only about their classes seems to be counter to the intent of the web site and different from what is required for buying and selling guns.

If a student or unrelated person with 50 posts starts a thread about a training opportunity great. But someone who signs on drops a link and spends no time or effort but to help themselves. Why is that ok and a minimum number of posts needed to sell a gun?

Also just in case if people missed what this thread was about, which was a good topic.

I agree. I move that 50 quality posts be required to post classes and training opportunities. Is there a 2nd?
