After taking forever to reregister, because this place is locked down like Fort Knox, I find out that you want me to wait 15 days before I can post in the classifieds? I understand security, but it's a car forum guys, not a bank. Not trying to be a jerk, just constructive criticism. Maybe I'll remember this place in 15 days and come back.😉
Hahaha I was going to post a pic of the wheels I have for sale but I can't, because I don't have enough posts. Omg guys. Come on, don't you want content?
New members can "attach pictures (thumbnails)", but are required to meet the requirements below to post an ad in the Member Classifieds, edit a post, or post links... to prevent spamming.
• Time as a member = 15 days, "New User" (displayed under the user name), changes to "Forum Member".
• Post count = 3+
You now have permission to post in those sections.
All of these restrictions are in place for a reason. Classified restrictions cut down on scammers.
Our restriction on posting URLs (which also blocks images) is there to prevent spammers. Since we implemented these restrictions, we have gone from having 5+ spammers per week to having none in the past few months.
The funniest part is that he is whining about 15 posts... when he posts 5 times in a thread about whining about it... like, come on. You're 1/3 of the way there.
GeoJosh let him in early, as we do for most that ask why. Good deal on tires and wheels in Parts for Sale for anyone near him, they look good on Foresters in my opinion.
The no editing and URLs for new members with fewer than 3 posts has all but eliminated our spammers.
They used to post gibberish then come back and edit it to add dozens of hyperlinks to spam sites. This was really a problem on weekends when they would post sites to stream football games. We would get 3-4 spam posts each weekend just from that.
While I agree that guy may have stepped on some toes with a bad attitude, it might not have been a good idea to label him that way. Then again, it seems he really had no interest in the forum except to sell so, okie dokie, whiner it is... :grin2:
Tread carefully, the last guy who got one was labeled a whiner XD
