Minimum of 25 Post Count to Post a Classifieds Ad
A member must now have a minimum of a 25 post count before they can list anything in the classified section.
This does not mean you can go around making meaningless posts (a.k.a. postwhoring) to bring your post count high enough to post here. If you do this, you will be caught and punished accordingly.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but we are trying to make the classifieds section more active-member oriented, rather than having a classifieds section full of threads created by users who joined only to post classifieds (essentially SPAMMERS) instead of joining to be a member of the community.
[edit by WellFedHobo]
Let me clarify a couple of things for some users. In order to satisfy the 25 post count, you have to make 25 MEANINGFUL posts. This can sometimes take a week, unless you know what you're talking about and have the time to type up well constructed troubleshooting steps to make 25 helpful and useful posts in a day.
What this does not mean:
You can't make 25 posts saying things like "almost there..." and "getting closer". You cannot go down the list in a sub forum and reply to every thread with one word answers. If you do this, a moderator or administrator will reset your post count, delete all of your junk posts, and/or ban you.
Please read all forum rules before posting.
