Title: Guidelines for the Classifieds section [READ FIRST!!!]
Post by: polepole on December 29, 2010, 10:33:38 AM
The Classifieds section is viewable by all, but you need at least 10 posts to put something up for sale.  Please don't pad your posts just to get to 10 posts so you can post a classified.  "Post stuffing" is frowned upon and those posts will be deleted.

1) Please don't harass posters.  If you have an issue with a posting in the Classifieds section, use the "Report to moderator" function.
2) Please refrain from posting something of a commercial nature before checking with an admin, especially if you are a newbie.
3) Don't make us have to come up with more complicated guidelines than 1 & 2.  Use your best judgment.
4) Please don't use the PM system for unsolicited sales.  This is not cool.

Can I add some " etiquette ”  not the coolest move to reply on a for sale ad with a post saying I have one for sale or for free. I can't recall seeing any posts that price gouge. If you got the same thing for sale go put up your own ad.

A couple updates.  I added information in the first post on minimum post count to be able to put something up for sale in the classifieds.

Also, I received a complaint about unsolicited PM's from someone with <10 posts trying to sell a kayak.  Unsolicited sales PM's are NOT cool.

Bumping this to the top as I've had a number of enquiries lately from newbies as to why they can't post anything to the Classifieds section.  Reminder, you need at least 10 posts to do so.

Maybe you should start charging fee's to become a member cause they're sure a lot of guidelines. I come to ncka for fun and networking . I posted things yesterday repeatedly by accident and deleted other post but to need 10 post first is stupid....

If you're a member then you should be a member not have circles of people within the circle

I'm a moderator on another forum. It's a spam prevention rule, not a inner circle rule. The moderators are here for fun too, and I am sure they don't want to spend a hour of their day making sure that there are no scams going on in the classified section and/or keeping up with 1000 people selling stuff on it.

Should I need 10 post to spend a couple $1000 of a post? If I am a member shouldn't I be recognized as a non spammer

You really want it to work one way. But it works the other way.

No.  Plenty of people showed up here only posting something for sale, never to be heard from again.  We didn't just randomly make this rule to make your life harder.  If someone is really here to contribute, there are no issues with 10 posts.

I understand it's just that I'm new to kayaking and  the site and the association and learning to navigate through the forums and haven't had 10 posts worthy of sharing.  I understand what rbark elaborated on

Most of us dont share much that's "worthy of sharing" but we do anyway...
How else would i have 3000+ posts?

What is there to point out except that other people took advantage of the board before the 10 post rule.  Really 10 posts is nothing if you enjoy, contribute and participate in this awesome forum.  :smt002  Can do 10 in like 20 mins myself.  :smt003

What do you mean "if"?

That's sort of like saying "I'm sorry if Ravensblack is a jerk sometimes".   :smt005

I'm just busting your balls, and getting a dig in on Craig while I'm at it (because once you get to 1000 posts, you are allowed to do that!).

You do.  I had it configured incorrectly and a few may have slipped in in the meantime.  I fixed it a couple days ago.
