Wow,
I didn't even take the time to read this whole thread, but I am really surprised the way people are acting in regards to the whole post count thing.
I joined this site because I thought it was a really good resource of info and to keep up with the current issues involving our state and to generally be a part of a good group of people.
Now I know the "50 post " rule was introduced to help protect the members from the "here and gone" people that just jump on here to make a quick sale, and I have no issue with that....and I know, I know, it makes no difference what I do have an issue with, but thing I have a problem with is the fact of not being able to be able to buy off of here without the 50 posts.
This is a gun forum, generally everyone here knows the basics on almost everything that involves guns, I do not post very much because I feel if I have nothing worthwhile to contribute, by the time I try, it's already been said.
I have bought and traded off of here though and it was a pleasant experience, but after reading some of the responses on here I will not be involved in anymore "illegal transactions" until I make the 50 posts........
I have nothing more to add, I'll go back to being a quiet lurker and just stick to the trips to the 1500.
And why are the guys with less than 50 posts allowed to post in the WTB section if their character is being questioned?
It would seem their should be issue with that also.
Anyway I know their isn't a straight cut answer to this and I hope I haven't come off as a jerk, this just kind of got to me being that I am kind of a quiet guy and it will be awhile before I can do anymore "dealing".
Can I suggest maybe a a period of time that would qualify you? I don't know just thinking,
