Is there a way we can set up a requirement for new members to post in the for-sale section. Like maybe they need X amount of posts or have been a member for 30 days ect? I hate seeing people sign up just to post things for sale and then take a hike. Sometimes even rip other members off. Really i think only our active members should be allowed to post for sale items but many members only post rarely but are here reading once maybe twice a week.

It has been discussed before. I don't remember what the outcome was, but it will be discussed again. Thanks for the input Terry.

alot of sites do that- they say like a minimum of 15 posts or 30 posts or 30 days. The problem with that is that you can go to the testing section and post away or make posts like "yea that works" and "yea i had that problem too"- but that would still deter many people from signing up just to sell stuff...

Hmm I guess that never got changed. My bad.

Well to re-rail this ...........you should at least be a donating member to be able to post in the for sale section. Figure it a kind of "verification process". Its only fair that if you make a little from 2gnt....well you need to give a little back. :thumbsup

Bingo. I donated after I made a profit from the sale section. And I would have donated $10 to use it too. ( I donated more than that but you get the idea)

well if it was that loong ago you should donate again, it doesn't have to be a one time thing ya know. And they usally catch it to change the status if the email used matches your screen name here. But I think you should donate again just to be on the safe side, lol just to keep everyone honest. Hell, if all the "members" donated a dollar every month .............

It was like the end of last July, I haven't even been here a year yet.

But, this site is growing more and more useless to me everyday. I don't even know why I come here to be honest :shrug. Alot of the people here now just act like little bitches and drama queens and it's annoying, especially now that there's no pits to say the shit in, everbody's all uptight and it's gay that the mods can't even handle the pits with what, 200 active members when other sites have 50,000+ registered with a not uncommon 200+ members ONLINE at the SAME TIME!

I don't get it, but I'll shut up now.

Good. Nothing you just posted had anything to do with the topic anyway...

Yeah it does.. donating. Why would I donate if I feel that way?

You shouldn't. You should stop posting here, and go find something sharp to ram your face into until you achieve enlightenment.

Go play at kaptainmyke.com if you want off-topic. This is is a tech-oriented website and always has been. if you're not here for tech infomation and help with your car, then you have no reason to be here. This isn't a sandbox.

On the topic of Sale/Wanted requirements.. i don't thik a donation should be used as a screening process. I don't like the idea of charging a fee to access any part of this site. Information wants to be free.

I don't disagree with a post count requirement, though. it's just a matter of a clean, fast implementation of this functionality in the software.

I don't want to go "play" at kaptainmyke.com because you can't speak of this place at all over there. And there's not that many car guys over there anyway. I am here for the tech, period. I didn't know about the pits when I signed up. It just pissed me off the way it happened, and the way it has become now, but, you still see me here almost everyday for some reason. I guess I've just been here too long to give up on it or something :shrug.

Well if your still learning about shit you should have nothing to bitch about if thats really the reason your here. Donating doesn't have anything to do with voicing a off topic opinion.Your opinions just as welcome on tech related topic as anyone elses so whats the issue?
