I am perfectly aware that you said maybe you should, and will look in the future. You are still saying there should be a minimum count, and I personally thing it is not needed. Watch out for bullshit, and meet local people in person.
 
thats fine but you dont need to be a douche about it.

you have a valid point but it gets lost in your piss poor attitude

the reason I still think its a good idea I stated in a previous post, spammers

Please point out where I was out of line. SOmeone said look at the post count. You said you never do. I said that is entirely your fault. I am missing where I said anything rude. If you would like, I can edit it and make it rude.

That is no ones fault but your own. It is right there for you to read. If you aren't willing to take 1/2 a second to watch out for potetial scams, why should we make rules to protect you?

Im not arguing. I was stating a fact.
I am glad you realize that you should check the post count now. Good luck in the future.

My 0.02? What I propose is that NO ONE be allowed to post to any for sale sections of the forum unless they have 100 posts minimum and be a paid member for at least 30 days.

It will cut out a lot of the crap.

People were talking about a 50 minimum post before you can post in the Sale Forum. Now, you want to make it 100. Why don't you just make it 1000 posts and a paying member for a year, or better yet, make it 5 years......This has been getting beaten to death for years.

This doesn't happen that often and it gets resolved pretty quickly by the 'Sale' forum police. Most people are honest and hard working. Why do we always have to dumb down to the lowest common denominator. This is so typical of a knee jerk reaction.

There has to be a level of trust around here.

I agree. People seem to think anyone new is a scammer, and anyone old is going to be honest. It can go either way. My opinion is, if you don't know them, go pick it up in person. Once someone makes good on some deals, word will get around.

Not sure I understand the statement about a level of trust around here. Any shmo can join this board. The reason that a post threshold should be enacted is precisely because of the least common denominator/low threshold for joining this board. Are you saying that out of 6000 members of this board (not club members, registered members) you trust each of the 6000? Best of luck with that.

The post threshold will increase the level of trust (not eliminate it completely, there are always idiots). It is common on other boards I frequent. It is a painless means to ensure that one hit wonders don't sell on this board.

I say we put it up for a vote for paying members to decide. 100 post threshold or not to post items in for sale sections.
 
If you don't have the money back within the next day or he doesn't contact you, please shoot me a PM. This is the type of thing we do not want happening.

Thanks,

I don't know what is so hard to understand about what I said. I said that we shouldn't dumb ourselves down to the lowest common denominator. No one is forcing anyone to buy anything from these people. If there is something you feel is wrong with what is for sale by an individual, then select the 'Report Post' button and a mod wil be on it before you can log off. It will be taken care of right away.

Well, even though there are 6000 members, 90% do not post on this forum. Unlike you, most of the members are local people, so if you think you've been taken on something, someone on this board probably knows the person, or how to get a hold of them.

To answer your question, YES, I DO trust just about everyone, until they give me a real reason not to. Someone from this board needed to borrow a trailer during the summer and I let him use mine for a week. I didn't know him from Adam, but I trusted him.

I'd like you to give me some valid reasoning why I shouldn't trust people, or believe in them. Then give me better reasoning why *you* should be trusted. Where do you draw the line? I don't know you, but I'd trust you because I have no reason not to. If you needed something I have, I'd let you use it.

Minimum Post Counts may be common on the boards you frequent, but the ones I belong to don't have a minimum post count. Normally the boards, like this one, or Vintage-Mustangs.com are self policing.

If you want a minimum post count, then don't go halfway by making it 100, go all the way and make it 1000. The same goes for paid membership, make it at least a year, or better yet, make it 2 years. This way everyone will know who you are.

100 posts takes quite a while to obtain. Quite a few people are lurkers and just like to read......

Just my .02..........Gary
 
if he has filed pay pal payment that has to clear his bank you will get a email from Pay pal saying that, and your account will show pending, file a claim NOW if he has emptied your account you are gonna have to wait until pay pal goes into collections on him, if you paid with a credit card through pay Pal, contact them you will get your money now.
