IMHO: The 10 days and 10 posts rule injurys the buyer and seller and creates negative experience for new members

[10-10]

IMHO: The 10 days and 10 posts rule injurys the buyer and seller and creates negative experience for new members. Can someone explain how barring new members from being able fully participate benefits Airgun Nation. This rule creates a lose lose scenario seller lose and Buyer, Buyer loses change to purchase his prize and feel like a member. Instead a collector googles say crosman - search bring him to Airgun Nation but he doesn't know that even after signing up the new member is second tier or less than a full member.

The rule forces participation in your site after it blocks you from particiapating really frustrating situation, think about it is it smart to force involvement. Please name for me one incident in the world where participation is forced and the situation is consider positive. I cannot think of a single example postive reinforcement as result of force complaint.

Can a moderater explain why we barr new menber from contact other members?

The rule is there to reduce scammers which it does do very well. I'm sure the moderators are very sorry for very mildly inconvieniencing you to make 10 whole comments and wait a whole less than two weeks to earn your wings.

With an attitude like that, i for one won’t be dealing with you in the classifieds anyway. Good luck in your short lived time here on AGN!

You are free to disagree, you are also free to flee! You might want to exercise the second option.

I've tried to help you, sent you a PM.. not everything is perfect for everyone.. but I will say that we are very fortunate to have this forum and I actually don't care about inconvenience because once you talk to people there's a lot of knowledge here and some very helpful people and some especially nice people..
I've had issues here, nothing is perfect but I will say that any moderator I have talked to was great..
so if you are interested, just hang in there.. it's a good place to learn.. myself I actually don't know where the classified adds are.. but I am very thankful for all the shared knowledge..

10-10,
Not uncommon for folks to join Airgun Nation just for Member Classifieds, then ghost, worst of all the cheats and scammers, who ruin so many well-intentioned things. Moderators use modest safeguards to help, many members pushing for tougher ones. Ten days and ten quality posts isn't hard to do, we prefer members who establish a presence, much easier doing business with them. Scammers are set for the quick kill, swoop in, steal, then disappear, hopefully before victim realizes what happened. Investing time and effort just doesn't fit their program, they move on. Any inconvenience is regrettable, unfortunately a sign of the times. WM

I have helped some new comers on their first day 10 posts in about 30 minutes , so in 30 minutes they are half way to their goal . YES when i joined i thought somewhat the same , what do 10 posts really mean ? The 10 post rule lets you show what your interest is . that same rule lets us ask questions and your answers tell a lot about you . The Classifieds are for the members to buy ,sell or trade dealing with people that are proven to be trusted .

Where did 10-10 go ?

I guess his mama didn't tell him it was rude to leave the party without saying good bye.

 

[madeintheuk]

Did anyone notice his handle is 10-10, and he’s complaining about the 10-10 rule? Methinks the trolling is strong with this one!!

Don't let the door "bump your bum" on the way out! Start your own website & do with it what you want. This one has rules that all of us who dwell here have no problems following.

This is a prime example right here. No rules whatsoever just post. It is full of dishonest DB’s. Should be re named American airgun scamified ads. This place has a level of censorship I disagree with and voice often but this rule definitely isn’t one of them. Scamming is a huge problem and why you need two levels of security to even log in.

This isn’t Craigslist or Marketplace. Some other forums you can’t even take a peek at the classifieds until you achieve a certain status. I think it’s great. But I’m 55 and never felt entitled.

 

[hawkeye69]

I truly wonder about the intentions of people who object to the requirements that are in place, to actually protect them from being scammed. You would think that honest people would appreciate it.
