Classified Rule Change Vote

[3speedgsx]

I didn't realize you had to be a pro to sell or buy something. Get off it, selling or buying is the same wether you been here or not. But i guess your way better than everyone since you have 4,000 post huh, wow. Anyways how do you thing people get better and at the whole buying selling thing, not by waiting 50 post its by doing it.

The forum is not here as a free for sale/wanted section. Its here for the community of people that enjoy cars.. if your only here for selling/buying then look elsewhere. If you actually want to contribute to this forum then you should be willing to wait until you hit 50 posts.. its not that hard.

And yes being a regular member and showing that you are active on the forum other than just to hit 50 posts to buy/sell, actually lets people know that you are more trustworthy to deal with. Members are not looking to get scammed by a n00b.

Also unless you talked to owner of the site, you cant advertise like you are doing in your sig.

Anything lower than 50 I need classifieds!


I can tell. I think I just looked over the last 20 of your posts and they contribute nadda! zip! zero! zilch!

Just a bunch of quick "welcomes" or 3-4 word sentances.

It's pretyy obvious you are just trying to hit the 50 post count and that's it. It's these case that I like to wait till people are at 49 and then put a negative sign in front of it.

I wonder what would happen if I just ended up moving the classified to the Private side compeletly.

hummmmm.........

You can argue your point as much as you want and 2 things will happen. No one that cares will listen, and nothing will change. Have a nice day.

Not all of us have access to the "private side."

OWNED!

I honestly like the 50 rule thing, I just wish senior members/shops wouldn't need admin proof-reading to post a for sale/want to by add.
When I want to buy something is usually that same minute, not within the upcoming week. 99% of the time its for a customer car sittining in the shop waiting for THAT part.

3Speed: Clearly we have it set this way for a reason. As it's been said, letting yourself be welcomed into the forums, and making yourself an active members helps us trust you more. And not only that but making intelligent posts. I wouldn't want to buy anything from some one, n00b or not, who can't make a decent post. If you can't form a proper sentence, use decent grammar, and most of all saying something intelligent, then how can I be sure you are even smart enough to sell me something without fucking me over. Now I admitt I am deffinately not the brightest crayon in the box, so it's not that hard to sounds smart talking to me, but you'd be suprised.

And honestly, whether not being a noob makes you better at selling something is totally irrelevant. I would say that over half of the time, noobs don't make good impressions on us. And when you sign onto a forum you are classified as a noob, whether you are new or old to the car game, but we don't know the difference. Not until you prove it to us. Just saying "New to the forums but not new to cars" doesn't prove anything to us. The more you post intelligently, the more we believe you, and in time, trust you to sell us something!

The n00bs would shit themselves.

You know you can honestly do what you want! If you seriously want to be a dick like that you can. I just want my car done and with classifieds I could do it alot quicker!

TJ this is nothing to get touchy over. And I think you may want to re-think how you talk to the mods. It's completely understandable how you feel, but you have to understand why we want things to run smoothely, and this is how the mods chose to go about it.
