I've been registered on Evom for quite some time..Since i first wanted an evo (just got a GG IX!!!), but...As a lot of the other guys with old join dates, and few posts...I'm willing to bet that quite a few of us are forum veterans who know how to use the search button and to PM when you have a question that is semi-off topic.

And LancerOzClint....I would have just straight up banned your *** for that. You do realize that mods do visit this thread right?

 

Members are expected to respect the rules of the forum. If you don't like them, there is nothing keeping you from going to another forum to sell your stuff. We'd love to have you here and have you contribute to this great community. The problem here is that you believe this rule is "gay" because it affects you not being able to sell your "16g turbo kit" (yeah, I saw your thread and it's being deleted as I type). Please try to live within the rules. Go make 50 legit posts and sell all you want here. That's all we ask. You've already surpassed the 60 day membership requirement.

If you went to a friend's house and they had a rule of "take off your shoes at the door." Would you decide to knowingly disrespect your friend and walk around his house with your shoes on? I doubt you would. Same thinking applies to the forum's rules

 

...and thanks to you, I've disabled the post counter for you in this forum. That was a good try though.

 

 

How does a post count stop scammers? If I were a thief, I would simply plug away until I got my count. I think the rule CAUSES a bunch of crappy BS posts in the rest of the forum, and screws up legitimate people. Then you have the troll moderators that like to power trip flagging these things, because the bureaucratic rule created the posts. I don't post on the forum because I read what everyone else does and I search. However, 2.5 years ago, I crashed my Evo and wanted to part it out. So I had to go through the painful process of 50 posts. I even got flagged once.
Was I a scammer? Hell no.

 

i think this whole 50 post thing is bull the only reason im on the forums is for the fs forum how to's and and the meets im not really on here to be chit chattin with people

 

OK, so did you even read this thread and all the links the Staff have provided? Your question has been asked and answered repeatedly..

 

Same way I think, I have been here for years and post only if I have good info to shAre! This isn't facebook I use it for info for building and fixing my evo

 

x2^

 

So is there anyway to get around this 50 post rule. Ive been a member for years and have always searched for my questions and never really posted.

Now i have sold my evo and have some parts left over and cant post here.

Anyway to fix that, or am i just going to have to post ***** it up for a little bit so i can sell these parts.

 

There is no way around it, and we do not make exceptions as we like to hold all members accountable to the same set of rules.

As for post whoring, well I would not advise that.

Everybody should remember that our marketplace is a reserved for active and contributing members, it is not a 'right' of membership. If you REALLY need the parts gone, may I suggest craigslist or eBay?

The quest continues...

 

I don't think the 50 post count is fair really... Check my join date. Now if you check the few posts I have, most of them are actually helpful if anything, and are informative in some nature. I've been a focus owner for years, but have been in love with the evo since 2005 so I came on these forums getting as much info as I can so when It comes time for me to upgrade to this amazing car(which is now) I won't be in the dark on problematic systems/components, or buying the wrong wheel/tire sizes and such. I only post when I can add something to the thread, and not being an Evo owner yet, that's slightly hard to do.

Plus I've been deployed 5 times, this is the first deployment I've actually had access to a forum, lol.
