I like this a lot too.

 

this might not be a bad idea either, i think the gixxer forums are doing this already.

 

Ive been here for a while, I dont post too much because I obviously dont have an evo and dont want to post useless stuff. But I would really like to be able to buy stuff considering alot of the evo stuff swaps over to the 4g64 in my galant.

 

You are absolutely correct, and when people see this happening, PLEASE report the post and let us know whats going on!!! You guys are around the forums a lot more than I can be, and we rely on members to 'look out' for each other and let us know so we can put a stop to it. As an Admin, I can even remove a members ability to post in the FS areas even after they post-***** to 50, so it's never too late to let us know. We certainly appreciate the members that do just that.

We have discussed this issue of altering our rules, and recently we did by raising the requirements from 50 posts/30 days to 50 posts/60 days. I think we could have gone a bit farther but the Staff wanted to start out gradually and then re-evaluate the results. We are doing that now...

that 50 post rule is gay cause i had to post in like different threads my post didnt even count if i stayed in one thread.. maybe turn it down or something but look at me know i have been posting a **** load and still around the 100 area

 

Explain why you believe it is a "gay" rule. Without explanation, you're just complaining...which won't help. Did you read the sticky at the top of this section that explains why the rule is in place???

 

I have to agree with the 50 post thing is kinda annoying. I am mainly a lurker but plan on buying an evo soon and would like to be able to post in FS when Im ready to pull the trigger. I sit at a computer all day so can find places where my comments arent completely useless but for someone that isnt at a comp alot I would imagine it would be an even bigger pain.

To bad there cant be some sort of registration or sign-up for the for sale section. Just an idea.

 

Requiring 50 posts to post in the Marketplace is stupid. I have been a watchful member for almost 2 years. Why make posting stuff for sale so hard? I was going to post that I am interested in selling my xx, since there seemed to be some interest, but I guess this is the wrong section for that.

Well I guess I am 1 closer now, that is if the site post counter even worked

 

well we all think its a good thing that way there is no scammers tryin to sell stuff. If u have been a watchful member for that long u should have been posting and u would already be at 50 post. Honestly I think it should go up too 100 posts. There has been so many newbies tryin to ***** post to get there.

It's in the forum rules. With all due respect, have you never read the rules in 2 years?


It's all about covering our butts in here.

 

^^^ agree with you... not to be a douche but too many ppl getting ripped-off ... 100 post would be even better... and im loving the way the mods have kept up with post ******..

 

I've moved your thread here to Site feedback, since we already have an active discussion going. I've also taken the liberty of editing some content of your post for you so you don't get an infraction for trying to dodge the rules..

If you've got examples of members getting ripped off, please report that to any of the moderators. Send any of us a PM or use the report post button (the little red/white triangle towards the lower left). Scamming members is not tolerated and will be dealt with appropriately. Thanks for helping us out

I am encouraging all members that read this thread that before buying anything from any member to check for a few things:

1. Check the Personal Sales Rating and feedback.
2. Check for how many posts the person has.
3. Go to the advanced search and search his/her username and check all the posts. That will show if the person reached the 50+ posts by replying: "yes", +1, UP, TTT, etc... or if the person actually contribute to the community.
4. If you see something that it is not right on a seller, please use the report icon just below the username.

That will not prevent a rip-off but will lower considerably the chances of dealing with a scammer.



We rely on all the members to lookout for those type of users and report them. As mentioned before, it is almost impossible to catch all of them but a lot of them get caught.

 

i also need 50 posts which i do not have and ive been on here since 07. But i am not worried if i cant post ill just send them a pm duh
