Old thread, but new bump. I can't find anywhere in the rules it says a BUYER needs to have 30 posts. I did find this...
14. A minimum of 30 days AND 30 posts on the site is required in order to sell items in the classifieds section.
I'm not a seller, I'd like to post on an ad in the classifieds. Could someone show me how dumb I am or let me post?
Thanks

Nice attitude, BTW
What attitude? "...." < That's an attitude? I was on my break and was trying to help you with the limited time I had.
I'm glad to know you feel it's a dumb rule and will ensure you don't participate in our classifieds section.
Then again you're taking your "business" elsewhere. Whatever will we do...? :wave:
I vote Moze for Mod of the month. :tvhaha:Quote:

Hmm, so you don't care someone who has a pot to piss in will no longer be looking through your classifieds. I guess sellers will just lose out. IDK what you/we will do.
Have a good one.
Aww, a fanboy. Thats nice.Quote:

When I quoted you and then quoted the rule I clicked "Submit" and it wouldn't let me because the "Message is too Short". See, it doesn't recognize quoting someone as text. So I had to type something so I could submit the answer, so I just put the "...." between the two quotes. If you for some odd reason view DOTS as arrogant - I'm probably not going to get my point across to you anyway.
With your immediate attitude toward the rules and then toward me for trying to help, I doubt many people would be real comfortable dealing with you anyway. With that same attitude and me being a moderator looking out for the good of the site, your chances of buying or selling here are getting worse.
I LOVE CHALLENGES!!! When do we start? :luv:Quote:

Give it a rest.
They don't like the rules of the site....there are plenty of other forums to hit up so don't let the digital door hit em on the a$$ on their way out :LOL: There's always craigslist!
explain how coming on here and posting how the rules are dumb and insult one of the moderators and think that we are losing out(we as in the site members) is supposed to affect anyone positively. have fun on other sites that most of us belong to as well. maybe you just destroyed your business opportunities :spit:Quote:

3. Nobody cares if you with 4 posts aren't around in the classifieds. In fact we prefer that you aren't.
Well man, it came off to me as a little arrogant. If you didn't have time to post what you wanted to say, it could've waited. I wasn't up all morning waiting for an answer. I was finishing up a night shift, and couldn't find my answer in the rules. I knew I missed it, hence the whole, "show me how dumb I am." Was TRYING to stay friendly. Apologies. But you have to agree, if you've seen any of the negative feedbacks from other forums, post count doesn't mean crap. A thief is a thief. So yeah, it is still a dumb rule, IMO. But w/e, looks like I'm closer to the post count minimum anyway. I usually just lurk and use the search button. I rarely have much of a reason to post. Guess I could put up 25+ smiley posts, if that proves I won't cheat somebody. I honestly have more respect than to just post whore...Quote:

Zeake,
Really wasn't whining, just stating opinions. Pretty much between me and Moze. I have no idea why you are even in here.
BigMac,
Pretty much already said that. But thanks for reiterating...
Cj,
Business opportunities? Just buying used parts for my project man, no business here. Plus never seen you on any of the forums I read, except this one. Honestly, I could care less what you think.
Pitch,
Seriously? Wow, great post.
I was trying to help you. If you took "...." as arrogant, you made an ignorant judgment. It's that simple. The fact that you can't wrap your head around that simple little fact and are still trying to justify your response shows how unreasonable of a person you are. Now you're going to say I should have waited to post so as to not hurt your feelings? Look at that from my point of view: I'm limited on my time, post up a couple of quotes to answer your question, and get called arrogant because of it. A little quick to assume, aren't you??
You've stressed that it's a dumb rule. I get it. As of right now, regardless of your post count, you will NOT be posting in our classifieds. If you feel our rules are dumb, then we (the moderators) have no reason to believe you would abide by them. So don't worry about your post count...our Classifieds section is not and will not be available for your use.
This whole thread/topic is definitely not just between me and you. We have a community here and as you can see, we watch each others backs. Your comments have obviously irritated others and as respected members of the site, their opinions count.
So all of that being said, enjoy the site. I mean that. There's a lot of great information here and a lot of helpful people if you give them a chance and don't jump to conclusions and assume the worse.
:spit: :rofl: 'business opportunities' means buy/sell something from/to someone.Quote:

:dancenana:
Really, I'm ignorant because I took your 15 min "...." response the wrong way? And I'm unreasonable because I stated my point of view? Even after I apologized for taking it the wrong way, and said I wouldn't post whore to get the coveted "classifieds post privilege"?Quote:

No it is between me and you. I think you know you're the moderator. W/e the take these guys have on this whole series of posts doesn't mean crap. They don't enforce the rules. I don't get why you needed your back watched. There wasn't any personal attacks in any of my posts. I called the rule dumb...ffs. Id say the only personal attacks came from you...O.o.
So I won't ever have classifieds posting privileges? Wow, pretty much a moot point there. I said a few posts ago I wasn't going to buy anything out of them.
Well man, thanks for inviting me to enjoy the site.
I'm going to say this as nicely as possible although I don't think it's going to help:
I posted in an honest effort to help you. There was no arrogance. I was on the tail end of my break and our internet use is watched carefully. I had just enough time to go find the rule (rather than simply reference it), quote it, post it, receive an error message that my response was too short, so I quickly threw in "...." between your quote and the quote of the rules.
You're not grasping that I used a limited amount of time to sincerely try to help you. In turn, I get called arrogant and get told I should have waited to help you until I had more time to ensure it was stated perfectly and outlined in a way that your feelings wouldn't be hurt. I get told my effort to help you is half-assed.
I have over 7,000 posts and don't have issues with people understanding the context of my posts.
It's clear it doesn't make a difference though.
Your attitude sucks. Enjoy your stay. :wave:
