Thinking of bumping minimum post count.

[Great-Kazoo]

lets examine the flip side of the coin.
here is a link to my ad. Poster # 2 inquires if available. post a reply AND have sent 2 pm's to #2 poster. figure some response forth coming. NADA, ZIP not a fu$%^&*in thing reply wise from the "Interested" party. However he has been here more than 1 year and more than 100 post.
Seriously??
This is the kind of shit that has us debating (sorry mods) YOU debating what to do, to rein in the BS we have been experiencing the past month or so.

I have been here since the beginning. If it was set at 100 today I would not be able to ost.

I've been here just over seven years and I've barely got over 100 posts. Maybe there is a way to factor in time on the board as well as number of "legitimate" posts?

Just my $.02 worth...

wouldn't an entire IP or user ban (not just the members name) solve most of the multi-account offenders?

Nope, I for one share PC's with other users, my wife, brother, co-worker etc. I share work PC, laptop, and phone on occasion. So banning 1 IP could ban multiple legit members.

And we are looking very hard at this. Your words are not in vain.

I guess I'm in the minority as I don't see a problem with low post count sellers (or folk who come here just to sell). I figure the more people buying and selling, the more likelihood that I'll find something I want or find a buyer when I need to sell.

If you don't trust low post count folk, don't deal with them.

I agree. All the complaining over the new members posting stuff for sale is just a bunch of girls crying a river. The classified are fine if the new over zealous mods would take a chill pill. It is the best classified site for gun owners and buyers in the state of Colorado. However, I am 100% convinced that it is subject to change and could be headed down hill.

I didn't vote because I think it is fine as it is.

I like this idea too. "Rep power" is nothing new and is well within the abilities of Vbulletin... not sure about being able to flag to remove posts though.

Of course we could always just work things out they way they do on PBB

Fuck rep power. It'll be back to GT for me if that ever happens.
The feedback forum is all the rep we need. It's frustrating when you get neg rep'd from somebody too chicken shit to leave their name.

hey now! I just left you a +1 for helping me out!

My last buys.

Frankly I don't give a flying fuck if you think it's fine or not. YOU aren't the one dealing with the whiny little girls that feel that they got offended by somebody in that place. Now if you feel the need to take a shot at my mods again, Feel free to leave and whine about it over at that other place.

Frankly I'm sick of your crap.

I was originally brought here by a cross post on a for sale item that was posted on another forum. I made a point of learning the "lay of the land" before making any posts.If only there were a way to make all of the n00bs do the same...

I'm pretty sure I never posted in the New Members forum...not much point in that now, eh?

I don't care if this comes off as brown nosing or ass kissing, but I was taught that when you play in someone else' yard, you follow their rules.

Last time I checked, this was a FREE forum, and the fact that Marlin and the other mods are asking our "opinions" is really a considerable act of kindness. Those in charge are allowed to do as they please, just like private business owners can refuse service to anyone for any reason, or anyone here can decide not to do business with a specific forum member or members.

For as much "crying and whining" as all of us are doing for wanting a higher post requirement, it sure sounds like the other side is doing just as much of this "crying and whining" as the rest of us.


Marlin,

I seriously appreciate what you have here, and I'm truly sorry for whatever bullshit it is that you have to put up with on a day to day, hour by hour basis. I apologize if I have ever caused you a headache or any inconvenience. If I ever do something that consistently bothers you, please send me a PM and let me know so I can correct that behavior. Set the bar where you think it is best, and I, as well as all of the other grateful people on here, will get to that point so we can sell in the Trading Post.
