PART 3: I'm new an your 50-post rule sucks! Please change it for my convenience, and what is all this crap about pineapple on pizza.

In at least one of those ads, the sellers MB was full.

And the "your inbox is full, PM me" bump is perfectly acceptable.

I love tomatoes, tomato things. My body on the other hand since I turned 40 said "Nope. We will make you hate your life now." My father has been allergic to them since he was a teenager and I'm starting to get some of those same symptoms (horrible cramps, explosive poo, wishing I would die, etc) when I have too much.

Tomatoes aren't for the weak.

Second, if we allowed the one liners for all the new guys, this place would be full of obnoxious, useless one liners, and the board's content would suffer.

that just hurts

 

[Cameramonkey]

hey, you dont have 50 QUALITY posts yet. I need to delete that post.

and I probably never will

That's better!

The reason for the rule is twofold. First, it allows us to get to know you. Thats the whole point of buying/selling here is its a community. We arent dealing some rando wondering if we are gonna get shanked during a deal, or needing to bring overwatch. Hell, some of the users here, I've even cross shipped a small item because I knew the user's word was good and he would send the money.

Second, if we allowed the one liners for all the new guys, this place would be full of obnoxious, useless one liners, and the board's content would suffer.

Sure, once you get your post count up its no big deal to post the occasional one liner. You've probably seen them.

I definitely understand the need for 50 quality posts. Part of the reason I'm interested in participating in the classifieds is because of all of the precautions put in place to keep out bots/scammers.

Considering we are talking about "weapons of war", or more seriously something that can cause deadly harm in the wrong hands, knowing who you're dealing with is very important. Its also why quite a few of us will not deal with those that just buy in for the classifieds with no other posts or contributions.

I've yet to have a transaction on INGO that I felt queasy, unsure or unsafe.

I still own everything I bought in the classifieds. Except the boat. It sank. Tragic.

Props to you for accepting some well-intentioned guidance about the rules graciously without getting butthurt. No one wants to see you fail or get booted.

It's always weird meeting a stranger from the internet, It's reassuring to know most everyone has had a positive experience.

This is the tax refund season. Things get busy for the staff.

I remember when we used to get refunds…

That is something that never crossed my mind….but it sure explains a lot about the last week or so.

Happens every year.

Glad I'm not a modern nation.

Who would have thought it takes so few guns and just a little ammo on a boat to cause it to sink! Now I understand why there are getting to be more and more magnet fishermen.

 

[Cameramonkey]

I personally knocked out at LEAST 9 reports today. I think its actually between 10 and 11. But there were 9 at one point late this afternoon. All rule breakers in the classifieds.

If you are getting a "refund", you miscalculated your withholding. Just sayin'.

Makes my life easier! Keep up the good work CM.

9? Wow that number on the counter is usually reserved for off the rails runners.

How many guns were in it?

No, this was multiples. No running, just lots of ignorance of the rules. I think they were almost all rule 7s

And there's plenty more behind the scenes that are not seen. We definitely get a massive uptick of new members this time a year
