well I can see this thread took on a quite different route then expected but thats not nessasarily a bad thing. lol Look guys/gals im not here to **** in anyones corn flakes. I simply spoke my mind. an opinion if you will. As for the research/mods thing, im not planning on making the same mistakes many have made and buy first research second. My previous posts have all been research actually. Research = questions. And if pissing a moderator off is the worst thing I do in this life, ill take that. And to be honest im just saying what MANY people are thinking just too afraid to get "banned". At least now with this thread my post counts are going up.

What we ARE concerned with is protecting valuable members from scammers. We cannot and do not guaranty complete security in regards to classifieds section transactions, as there will always be some risk when dealing with private party internet sales. However, we try our best to minimize that risk with access restrictions.
Similar post/time restrictions can be found on many sites such as this, so LS1Tech is not alone in this sort of pratice.
Below you will find our policy on the matter, please review it for your information:
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 / WANT TO BUY ad (or REPLY with selling / purchasing 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.
