We are quite welcoming to those that read the rules. We are quite the friendly bunch.If you treat all your new members this way, I am surprised you have any.
I've read the rules plenty. I even came to this thread thinking it would have the answers.
I have to tell you, this really is not the best state forum in the country. I should have stayed out west. Other forums would end the abuse and bash the troll.
If the answer to the question is in those rules, please cut and paste. I don't see it in there. One of you already bashed the term "PM" when that is in the rules. Maybe I am not the one that needs to read them. I do recall a section on civility. Maybe you should go re-read that.
I agree with you. Please give INGO a chance to show that we can be warm, genuine, and welcoming to newer members .... most of us are.I think we need to warm up our approach to questions a bit if you really want contributing members. Folks have enough stress in life and come to places like this to unwind.

Fenway, Used to pay the bills.
In order to participate in the classifieds section, you must have a quality post count of 50 or more
You can also bypass the 50 posts by BECOMING A SITE SUPPORTER HERE: https://www.indianagunowners.com/account/upgrades
This policy is in place to help weed out scammers/spammers and gives our members a chance to get a feel for you as a board member. Do not attempt to gain access to the classifieds by posting a bunch of "one-liners". That will not work. Thank you and enjoy the classifieds!
Thanks for the effort.Unless something changed you also received a link to the FAQ's

POST #7
I'm not trying to participate in the classified section, but thanks anyway.Here you go.
Thanks for the effort.
The table of contents in the faqs is just a bunch of links back to the TOC. There are a few at the bottom that go to the outside that do work.
There is also an invitation in the rules to "PM" for help, but since that option is turned off, it is of no help.
I think we should update the rules, and at least know what they actually say, before attacking confused bystanders.
I expect some of you have been here so long, you no longer know what they actually say. I'll let you know what changes when I have 50 posts.
For those that tried to help, Thank you.
Agreed. This has been a trend for a long time.I agree with you. Please give INGO a chance to show that we can be warm, genuine, and welcoming to newer members .... most of us are.
That is the answer I needed. When I look at the faqs, the bold part is not there. Maybe it's a popup setting? I'll try another computer if I get a chance.
I didn't say I didn't understand that I had to have 50 posts to post on a classified. That part is clear.Well the SC is locked until you get 50.
Why did you post in a thread titled, "I'm new an your 50-post rule sucks! Please change it for my convenience." when you had no idea what the 50 posts was all about?
Just askin'.
Yeah, but it's a crotchetyness I've come to love; it's an acquired taste.The snark isn't because of you, the snark is from seeing this 10,000 times.
It can make some people snap.
And yes, 2a Tom is crotchety and old.
But he can also be a good source of info.
Sometimes his crotchetyness gets in the way.
