Post to Classified
I read the 50 post thing long before coming in here (I should have just registered an account years ago when I started lurking here to find out more about LSx motors..anyway)
It says you must have a "minimum of 50 posts, or a minimum of 6 months membership duration before they can gain the privilege of posting a NEW THREAD the Classifieds section, or post a FOR SALE ad in any section of the site."
However, I cannot reply to an already started thread. Perhaps this applies as well, but it clearly states in the 50 posts/6 months rule that you are blocked from "NEW THREAD" creation or to "post a FOR SALE ad" not that you blocked from replying. No?
P.S. I agree, noobish questions like these on the forums I do frequent are super annoying. I'm hoping this clarification is not one of those questions...but hey, we are all idiot newbies at one point or another.

EDIT: CRAGER edited the rules to read:
For Sale Forums - Posting Problems
Every registered user on LS1tech is now required to have a minimum of 50 posts, or a minimum of 6 months membership duration before they can gain the privilege of posting a NEW THREAD or REPLY in the Classifieds sections, or post FOR SALE ad (or REPLY with selling intent) in any section of the site. Post whoring (i.e. "cool, nice car, ..., sweet.....etc) to reach 50+ posts is not allowed. Post count will be reset to zero with or without any notification. If member is caught post whoring two times they will be banned.
Unfortunately, we've had to put this restriction on our site due to so many lurking scammers popping up and taking honest money. This restriction has helped to ring out a lot of the scammers looking to make a quick buck on our site. Posting for sale items in other forums to circumvent this rule is prohibited and the posts will be deleted.
After your 50th post, it takes a period of 24 hours to update your access to the classifieds forums. DO NOT make a post requesting instant access upon making your 50th post, the system is automated. The database updates certain records on a daily basis, it is not instantaneous. Any threads regarding this will be locked/ignored.
Please do not contact us asking to circumvent this 50 post rule. The system is automated and we do not make exceptions. We feel that the classifieds forums here are a privilege to contributing members, not a free service for new members.
