You have posted on half a dozen threads, your thoughts on the rule. We call that Cross Posting(against the rules).

You have not been using capitalization or punctuation, that is a rule.

Continued complaints will not get you positive results.

Please follow the rules.

Its not a problem , its is now the rule , there is rumor it may change in the coming months .
But because of abuse by new people signing up just use the classified ads the rules were changed and older members that don't post much got the shaft . And as it stands the only choice you have is to become more active in the forum and get your required posts.

PM Mangus580 with your thoughts.

Sorry for butting in,but would that include wanted items,or
just for sale items?

I had under 100posts and I was able to post a wanted AD.
Is this new and I missed it?

This issue has been to death several times.

I'm not sure I agree with the magic number being 100 posts either, but I don't own the site...nor do I have to put up with the crap the Mods and owners put up with.

You have been a member for a year and a half basically and haven't posted a hundred times?
I know some folks just read more than anything but I think the general idea is to be active and offer your thoughts on posted topics, post pics of your MV projects etc. You know...sorta participate in the site.

I would sorta say that the 100 post rule to sell something is a way to "earn" the ability to sell your wares in the classifieds. (Thru valuable posts)

The other option is just to pay the advertisers fees, then I guess you can post away on your for sale items.

Not trying to throw you under the bus, but this has ALL been addressed several times.
Just trying to save you some grief.

Many places charge to be a member, let alone use the classifieds. If it is too much effort to contact a site owner and see if they can help you, maybe you should move on. SO MANY people think that making a spectacle of themselves is the way to accomplish anything. What a bore. Time to grow up and act like an adult.

 

[m16ty]

Or, you can just B!tch about it 76 times and you'll able to post an add.






Gimpy, maybe I need to grow up too.

Yes it is a recent change.

Right now I go back and read thru the rules about once or twice a month. ( and I still get things wrong )

You are what is called collateral damage. Other people have ruined it for you. Now just get involved and participate in the site. I think this is a good rule. You need to be an "active" member to reap the rewards.

Here is what furstrated me I kept looking for the link to post and add and couldn't find it like in the past. I was convinced I was doing something wrong. When I finally found out about the rule change it all made since. Here is a suggestion. On the Classified add section at the top with the xplanatory text add a sentence saying you must have 100 posts in order to place an add. I think that would cut donwn on some of the frustration. Hope this helps the moderators make people happy

 

[gijoe]

Me and 2 of my employees spent probaly total over a hour looking for the place to post an add.

 

[gijoe]

your in the same boat as me, i guess we will have to either sink or swim cause our boat is dead in the water.

 

[1983M35A2]

i am new i dont have problem with that rule i have a lot of stuf for sale. i will just wait until i can sale my stuf.75 to go

 

[zout]

I am computer illerate and even I figured out how to post an ad - are you hiring as it appears ya need to replace 2 employee's.

Not to be a smart a** but you can just thank you 75 more times to someones post or something very simple that is beneficial.

I pretty much do not care how many times someone has to post to run a classified ad as most post no prices for what they want for their stuff anyhow so I just look.

Then again if you have been a member here for 2 yrs and have not contributed 100 times maybe a different venue to advertise is in order.

But eh - I am a nobody anyhow and my vote don't count.

 

[odonnys]

I have a suggestion. Perhaps the rule can be changed to...You have to be a member for more than 90 days (or something like that) before you can post in the classifieds. That way the people who don't really post in the forums can post classifieds after to alloted amount of time. I don't have any problems with the current rules, I just figured I'd throw my in.

Honestly, I have heard enough complaining about this. Maybe I should just REMOVE the FREE classified ads?

It was done for a reason. Enough said.
