It is sat night. No mod bans anyone on a sat night. We all think about it and if you are banned on Sunday then it was deserved. [Beer]Quote:

read the forums for a week and you figure out REAL quick how shit works... if it takes you much longer than that, maybe you shouldn't be on mommy and daddy's 'puter.
Easy there ColoDogy. Down boy, Down. I have got some pretty good deals from some Newbies. But they just need to follow the guide lines!! If not then F*ck em! Ban Hammer for sure. They need to respect thier elders AKA Big Dogs!! [Coffee]With more post count / authority!Quote:

Sissies.
I'm being sarcastic. I have got some smoking deals from new guys.Quote:

[Muaha] In the FWIW department - noobs sometimes get stood up too. As far as a couple of the other suggestions... ouch.Quote:

When we get the occasional smart ass, we just have some fun and roast his ass. But to make rules that will run off potential good members, is not smart. We were all neewbs at one time or another.Quote:

Sometimes you just need to be pantsless....Quote:

Sure, I have one after a manly trip to the range today that has been rendered pretty much useless (but that's in another thread). In my defense, no one actually SAID it was Byte (please note for the record).Quote:

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.
This is a social site for like-minded folks, not a sale site. Having the TP is justan added benefit for members here, not the intent of the site. There are plenty of firearms sales/auction sites on the internet to chose from.Quote:

You couldn't imagine the number of "members" here who just came here to sell something and have never returned. This becomes ANOTHER problem for the mod staff.
You, Luckydog, participate on the site.
If prohibiting a new member from accessing the Firearms For Sale forum until they reach 15 posts is going to run off a new member then they really weren't "potential good members" at all.
15 "meaningful" posts is nothing that can't be attained in 1 hour of checking out and participating on the site. It's FAR fewer than most of our members wanted who called for this requirement.
If someone is just here to hock their wares them, personally, I would rather they move along to another site. The value of this site comes from the exchange of ideas and information, not from hocking your junk.
Whoa, careful there... thinking can be dangerous. And sometimes painful.Quote:
