Default Appreciate the hospitality MODERATORS

I thank you fine people for not allowing me to post to WTB sections due to my low "post count" and then close a thread when I try to get help from the forums. You want people to visit the site and continue to post yet you pull stunts like that. Thanks for all the help.

Nobody cares. If you don't like it then leave. There are way too many whiney people on here as it is.

I want to extend this to all the moderators and thank them for not making it easy on scammers to come in and rip people off left and right.

You might not be one, but that doesn't mean the next guy isn't.

That rule is there for a reason and enforced for a reason. It is staying and will not be changed.

If you don't like it, feel free to post your items on ebay and craigslist. I'm sure you will get a ton of hits on there. If you do that though, be sure not to come back here asking all of us to help you out with a problem you need help with.

Thinking about it.. It actually pisses me off to an extent.

You want to use this site to better yourself (trading/buying/selling) and asking questions (like the only other thread/posts you have started) but you don't want to contribute anything (time on the board and posting helpful information). Then you want to "get on" the people that put in TONS of time and help over the past years and make this site (the best LS based site there is) what it is today. THEY are the reason YOU want to post here.

folks I understand the rules for the scammers. And you may have mistaken my WTB for a F/s. Scamming someone on a WTB is a counterproductive activity. My posts only looking for items? I believe when I started this "adventure" I made it very clear this was my first F-body. Hard to share experience with yall when ive owned the car less then a month. I understand your rules. I know why there there. But just because its "always been like this" doesnt mean it couldnt be revised or tweaked.

It works both ways. Your intentions but may be 100% honest but think about it. There are scammers just waiting to 'buy' quality items with bad checks, counterfeit money orders, etc... There are also those criminal minds that want to know where you live so they can just steal what they want (See Craigslist). The mods have it right and they will keep it that way.
Best of luck with everything but this thread bashing of a good, safe policy will probably be

It hasn't always been that way... You use to not have to wait at all... Then it was changed to a short time.. Now the rule of 50 posts/6 months.

It is a VERY good policy, and there are still scammers. Imagine it being a way less strict policy, we would be over run by scammers.

I am 100% you can at least share thoughts/ideas in the appearance threads.. Or try to help out in newbie tech. Something, anything.. I average 5 posts/day and that doesn't count my SRK, classifieds, etc posts... Only posts that count in the average/total posts are technical forums.
At that rate, I would clear 50 posts extremely quick. It isn't hard, just go to a forum where posts count and put in your .02$.

If you have only had the car less than a month, why not read up and gain knowledge. Post, ask questions, get your count up. You are royally ******* yourself by pulling **** like this calling out the MODs. What makes you so special that rules can be revised for you?

A few months ago I got DEMOLISHED on moon shine and tea bagged a chick passed out on my couch during the party.

I apparently took a **** on her hood as well.

I don't believe it to be true..... Or didn't... Until they showed me the video.

This could be you next time OP.

Yea.. Felt like I got drilled in the head with a baseball bat for the next two days after that night. I literally will puke at just the smell of straight shine now.
*Don't take back to back shots of moon shine AFTER you have already started on shots of Vodka and a 6 pack. It will make for a long, long two days.

Lemons........ Are Pretty good.

Fact. Mjs1012 has ruined some lawns and lemon tea is quite tangy.
