I understand not wanting to get ripped off and all, but this seems a little harsh for the 99% of other members who aren't ripping people off and have low post counts. Hell I already have a trader rating and this is my first post. I was just trying to pm someone in the classifieds to buy a harness that I've been looking for quite a while, but now I have no way of contacting him until 4 months from now. Plus I just sent someone $650 for a cam, valvesprings, and pushrods last night. How am I supposed to communicate with him now since I can't post in the classifieds?

I've been a member of another forum for 8 years and I have just over 60 posts. I almost never post unless there's a reason to. So is the rule 50 posts AND 6 months or just one or the other?

That's a quick way to get your post count reset, and possibly banned. We are very specific about that in the rules posted at the top of this section (FAQ sticky).
Just one or the other.
All you lurkers should have signed up long ago. You might not like the rule at this moment, but once you meet the requirements this policy will protect YOU as well.
Our classifieds section is provided as a free earned privilege to contributing members that meet the time/post requirements, it is not a right.

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.
