And yes many do not. But at what cost that growth.
Until you set in this chair it is hard to understand. Heck man I got dinged when I was new here. From a friend. I needed 11 more posts to use the classifieds and did it wrong. There are solid reasons for this believe it or not.
And the ramifications of being a gunbroker/armslist based forum is not what the site owners want. The insanity that ensued from the Sandy Hook influx is still effecting how the forum is ran. So much that is not shared in open forum. Fenway had enough of talking to men in Black with ear wigs.
It probable took awhile for you to know you had been dinged also....with it being dial up and all!

What does it matter if all the growth is in classifieds? That's when INGO becomes armslist. The idea behind the 50 post rule is to grow the community.
We just wanted to anger the newbies.
It does anger some of them but seriously, if that is your base character we do not want you here anyway. JMHO of course.

Really....dial up. I don't know CM, but just from reading everyone's posts about him, I thought he was using smoke signals when he first began here, communicating with Elizabeth Warren!

Uh. I'm pretty sure that posting with distastefully bright colors reduces your post count by two per instance.
Book color too bright. -2
Never cared for the rule. INGO would have grown a lot larger and be more active if that rule was never in place. That's all I got to say about that.

We were a naive bunch here the first year or two, before the flippers moved in... they taught us about the real world.In my own honest assessment, if it was a free for all allowing any and all takers to access the classifieds, there would not be the quality of membership here and would be a cesepool
of a lot of undesirables, something I imagine a vast amount of the members here would agree with me on.
It is easier if you do it in clay and then bake it.
A FAQ! That’s a good idea. INGO should have one. Then maybe n00bs would understand the rules.I suppose that is why he was so forgetful.
We explain this every time and then a noob who has never read this thread, the rules or the FAQ.
