View Full Version : Where is the Trading Post?
I feel stupid asking, but if I don't ask I'll remain that way.
I read about the "Trading Post" but can't find it. Where is it? Is it because I'm on probation I can't see it?

New rule proposal..
Any n00b who asks about the 'Trading post' before his 30 days is up.. gets an instant 6 month probation.

Asked and answered, the current rules are due to past abuse by others, welcome to the site.
Prior to posting this thread I read the rules, posted agreement in the thread as they asked, did the search thing, and looked all over for the forum, to no avail. Asked an honest question, and into page two of this thread am still bewildered. Went to a link provided that said I'm denied access. Also to a link of rules that asks me to post agreement, of which I've already done. Told it's locked away in B4, of which I have no idea what B4 is.
So, I've come to the conclusion; the Trading Post forum is just a fictitious place that doesn't exist, and was simply devised to mess with the heads of new members. OK, got it.

What he said. Spam is the biggest problem here, the second was folks signing up just to hock their wares, never to be heard from again. Often times there were issues with the transactions too. So, we had to restrict access to folks that had been here at least 30 days - thus the "probation" status. This was the best compromise out of all of the options we tried. We've found that those just joining to sell their stuff don't want to wait the 30 days and just move along. It's cut down on a lot of issues we used to get. We try to get folks to realize that this is first and foremost a discussion forum - that has the benefit of a Tading Post too.

What you now also realize is that most every member here, including the staff, are a bunch of sarcastic folks. While it'll seem almost hostile right now, you'll definitely get used to it and come to realize this is how we tend to get our jollies (almost pathetic now that I think about it). This is how we are, but we'll grow on you.
ETA: oh, and the "In B4 lock" is a common phrase here meaning the person got their comment into the thread before the thread got locked (closed) by mods.
but we'll grow on you.
Im not sure I'm good enough to grow on anyone. I just yell at people like the troll under the bridge, but I'm the nerd under the server.
Yeah, Ginsue, it's a little different tone from my ski forum, but as they say, when in Rome. I can hang, and give it back. Hold on to your hat, my friend. [M2] [Beer]
Oh, and actually, I did want to buy an AR. That's ok, I'll just buy it somewhere else and stick around here for the camaraderie with folks in my area that have similar interest.
but we'll grow on you.
I just burn those things off like ticks...

Just stick it out, read/research and ask questions. Bam before you know it you're month will be up!

Yeah, thanks High Class. No worries here, seriously. I like the community for the social aspect of exchanging ideas with and learning from like minded folk. I was hoping to also be able to contribute too by purchasing something from one of the members here, but alas, I'm in the market for an AR now, and will just go ahead and shop elsewhere, and likely be shooting my new purchase by the time my 30 days are up. It's all good. I'll be here, albeit likely with less prolificness once the slopes get covered with snow. Workin is a bitch.
I keep tellin' you noobs there's an initiation process to earn Trading Post privileges.....

I stay outta this stuff normally. It's been a fun thread to watch, and then to watch slowman post and post and post in the last 24 hrs I get his post count up has been fun.
But why copy someones for sale thread and try to make a point? And then say its the forums fault cause of glitch? Dumb.
Hang out, talk to people, enjoy and learn!!
Naw, i think you got it wrong. He was very helpful to me in finding a missed restriction on the site we have been chasing for a bit. Didn't want anything in return. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise, hope others will too.

Not making a point with it, just an attempt to help. Was just notifying Houston that they had a problem. Houston contacted me via PM, and I supplied them with the origin of it, so they could repair it. Simple as that.
Jayock, you posted while I was writing. Thanks for the support.

What's it matter that you get your post count up, when they switch servers you lose your count anyway. [ROFL1]

I'm switching your account "between servers" twice daily just for that.
Also, I'm deleting the trading post right now, just feels right. [Coffee]

I thought that one went on "Double Secret Probation" when asking about the TP. Or was I railroaded?
