I'm new to this site, but I am a long time DSMer and I think you should keep it the same. Maybe let people look, but definitely no posting. We have to earn that.

Think about it this way. The new guys like me are always looking for parts to fix their car and the older members are always looking to sell, so it kinda works out. Maybe i just feel this way because i cant look at them yet. But it would be nice to bump it down to 25.

I like the culture you guys have here and I think this rule helps keep it that way. Just 1 noobs opinion though

I voted to change it, I think maybe keep it at 50 post's to sell something,but I think people should be able to see what people have for sale. I just joined and i have like 22 posts and I really need to see if people have things up for sale that I need to finish my project. Thats just what I think!

The rules have already been set, I think. And at first I was a bit wary to hear the opinion of a n00b, however, this makes sense. To me, it seems a bit unfair that the n00bs can't even see the classified. I deffinately agree that they should not be able to post there until 50 posts, but ya know, hey, maybe Joe Shmo needs a Walbro 255 at a decent price and some one happens to have one for sale for a decent price, well poor old Joe Shmo can't even PM the guy to talk to him about it, because he can't see the thread to know it even exists! But I deffinately agree that we don't need the thread cluttered up with the mindless bullshit rambling n00bs [and sometimes non-n00bs] like to contribute to the classifieds.

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.........

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.

The n00bs would shit themselves.

Change your price range?

P.S. voted to keep the the same. I do hate when people go on a board and whore it just to sell some of there crap though!

SuperSleeper · 01-27-2006

If there were no restrictions on WTB ads, there would be more of them. Which in turn people, would cause your FS ad to disappear from the first page more quickly, henceforth you lose opportunities to make $.
I vote that it stays the same. 50 posts is not that hard to accumulate, and this way we don't have a bunch of noobs posting excessively and improperly. It gives them some time to learn the rules.

Kevin 1G Drummer · 01-27-2006

I think it would be a good idea to keep things the same. This system seems to be working just fine the way it is. I just joined the site a little while ago, and there are some things I'd like to buy, but I don't feel it necessary to start a new thread anytime I need something. If people just look around for a little while, chances are, they'll find someone selling the item they want, reply to the thread, and be able to buy it.

FattyBoomBatty · 01-28-2006

I'll chime in. I voted change.

Talian · 01-28-2006

Your policy seems fair. Now I need to get back to posting, I have 40 something more to do!

HKSenilyks · 08-20-2006

I'm new on here and I onw a 1g awd shell, thats it. I need parts but I can also understand you guys not wanting people here for just cheap parts. 25 is resonable.

desolate · 08-20-2006

I've been here since the begining of dsmstyle but my for sale/WTB threads are not showing up. I barely post but I have enough to post in the classifieds. I find the new system rediculous. If I can't post what makes you think a noob can. It's been 3 days and my WTB ad hasn't shown up. It used to be easy. I'd rather have mods bitch and yell than wait forever for a simple ad to show. If it keeps going this way some people are going to look elsewhere to sell/buy their parts. The classifieds is a big reason why I browse dsmstyle.

If all you are here for is the classifieds then feel free to browse elsewhere. The current process is not going to change and the site is not a site based around just being here to sell people parts. We try our best to get any and all "approved" for sale threads up within 48 hours. If they aren't up by then it's either because a mod/admin hasn't had a chance to get to it yet or it was declided due to lack of required info.

carltalon · 08-20-2006

The new system works alot better then the old system (mods yelling etc). But It would be nice if the ads could be approved faster. and if an ad is declined the poster should be informed via PM why, and what they can do to get it aproved. The classifieds section is alot cleaner and easer to understand now. so I think we should keep the system we have now and just work on ways to improve it.
