The "Hopefully" last update for the for sale section.

[cwripinz]

I hate to say it, but it probably is a "much needed" restriction.

[SuperiorDG]

Every member will be required to make 15 meaningful posts . Posting in hopes to just simply hit 15 so you can sell an item will be frowned upon

I guess Atrain is SOL

Sarcasm BTW

Sir, you mistake this for a democracy. It is not. This forum is privately operated, and the owners/moderators make the rules. They allow for an amazing diversity of opinions, only stepping in when issues arise that infringe on the smooth functioning of the forum. I applaud this move, as it SHOULD encourage more active participation in areas other than the trading post, while weeding out the folks that join only to hawk their wares. If you are unhappy with the rules, feel free to ask for a full refund of the monies you paid to join...

Good call on this, gang

You one of those anarchist types?


Don't like it,,,, Leave.. Simple enough.

Just let me know so I can delete the account.

I am getting so 'effing fed up with the comparison of this site to socialism here recently.

A few simple rules most of which have been in place since the site started. And a few just to make it a little easier to do a transaction And all of a sudden we are the worst of socialism, communism, and whatever other "ism" there is..

Well, just do me the favor of not coming back. Obviously, we just can't meet your high moral standard.

Newbs are one thing, dumb newbs are another and boy have we had a taste of the latter recently so a few new rules to keep them in line doesn't bug me one bit. As its been said several times in the past, this forum owes you (or any of us) nothing so complaining about it might not work out so well for ya.

[Marlin]

That's fine with me, have your opinion, you are entitled.

But, as stated, if we just don't measure up to your standards, and the few rules that we do have are just to restrictive for you.. See ya.

Frankly, I could care less if you have your location or not, just don't post in the trading post without it. That one little bit of "guidance", has saved me a lot of headaches.

[spleify]

I’m trying to post my opinion that the rules are getting too restrictive.
• Must post your location
• Must post a price
• Must post in this thread that you acknowledged the rules

RULES: Must Read, and acknowledge BEFORE posting (you can find the link)

Dude, if this is to many "rules" to follow then I feel sorry for you.

With out rules there's chaos and you all know that. There are very few rules here and they are not that big of a deal. And us "cronies", you know the moderators, actually do like reading the forums and participating in threads and conversing with the other members but when we log on and have to filter through all the garbage in the trading post and all the cry baby posts it gets old and then no one can enjoy the site.

[Marlin]

Those have been around since day one. They are a 7IDL creation. They were here when you signed up. If you felt that was too many, Why'd you sign up then?

And, no where in your post did I read that it was satire.

Maybe my funny bone is broken tonight, but, I must have completely missed that one..

[spleify]

My apologies again.. And especially to the MOD. You do a good job. It's just frustrating when we have to abide to so many rules and then get chastised if we miss or forget something.

Never once has anyone ever been "chastised" for not following a rule, and this conversation with you is really starting to piss me off, for a couple of reasons.

One, like I mentioned no one has ever been "chastised" for not following a rule. The moderators go out of our way to very politely send a PM to the member letting them know what they have/have not done and if they would please comply.

Number two, you are compliant in all ways so why in the hell are you bothering to waste our time with this BS, who are you trying to impress and defend?? Move on and drop it.

These are the rules and like Marlin said if you dont like it no one is forcing you to stay, and it costs just as much to get out as it cost to get in.
