anyone else find post count required, as stupid as i do?

Really people? kinda retarded if you ask me. Then they will yell at you over PM's. Its funny how people act hard over a keyboard.

You're new. Don't get started out by beefing about the rules. If you don't like them, well......

Are you just here to sell shit? I think a big part of this site is the sharing of ideas and I think that is what the mods want to promote by this rule. Besides, I don't personally like to buy or sell shit to people that are only here to post items for sale.

+1 I think the post count should be higher to post anything in the for sale areas.

Why should we put up with some short timer drive by that just wants to dump their crap?

You need to realize that you're dealing with a LOT of LEOs and current/former military and quite a few elite soldiers here. Men who are far tougher and seen shit and you and I never have and probably never will. Assuming that you're only dealing with a keyboard tough guy is a quick way into a world of hurt.

Also there was a song that this reminds me of..."if you don't like what you see here get the F*** out". G&R maybe?

Yup, sneakerd is most correct.

Of course, I'd happily give my address if someone wants to even imply a threat to a member of my team. The mods/admins here work very hard to give everyone a great experience here on this site. Those that I have met in person aren't simply keyboard commando's - they LIVE it.

... without having to try and jump through some extra hoops that really dont make sense.

The new rules would make a LOT of sense if you were having to clean up the messes by folks who don't meet the 15 post requirement or listen to the complaints from other members about the messes caused by those folks.

It's simple, the bar is set but it's set nice and low so it's easily attainable. The 15 post requirement is supposed to help folks learn enough about the site and what is expected before they go into the Trading Post and start making a fool of themselves and work for the mod's.

.... And to the moderators, i didnt mean to stir up so much shit. For that I apologize.

Forgiven - by me. Now, move an and enjoy the site and remember the few rules we have are there for ALL of us. Once you've been here longer you will certainly come to appreciate them.

'Nuf said.

+ 1000 my feelings exactly.

CMP is 75 posts.

One of the biggest reasons was this. Many people would sign up and not read a damn thing.

FNG Post count- 0

"FS AK looks a little rough, no camera make me an offer"

These are the ads along with the other side of the coin.

FSG Post count-0

ican get that cheeper at d store down d st PM me if U wt 2 deel.

These two types of posts are why we are where we are. Nobody on the staff wanted to do this. Many wanted more post count. The main thing is we wanted the FNG to at least take a look and follow the couple of simple rules we had.

Time and time again it was always "too much bother" for the "instant" generation and the one thing that always amused us older guys is how butt hurt they got after deleting there ads.

The OP is current or ex-Military. He of all people should know how this works. Ever been to CIF? ever been to SRP/SRC? After 30 years I know that it is the same now as it was back then because I see it everyday when I go to work. But we are faster than then.

Wait for 3 hours at CIF and be told that this is not right. "go to personnel and get them to change it and come back to get at the end of the line."

I know this is still so because I spent 2 hours at the orders section with one of my Sgt's trying to get the dizzy bitch to understand that she was wrong on Friday. 2 hours later we get a phone call for her to come back because yes, they had screwed up.

Just some thoughts.
