I have been here for years. I read the rules before joining. I'm not chasing anyone away. Considering almost all forums that have classified ads have rules to follow before posting a item for sale. It's no secret. How hard is it to read the rules first.
AGN dosen't need a multiple choice quiz. The rule is fine, it has been working for years.
I thought this thread was a goner, but since you directly copied me,
the rules were pointed out by moderator!!! I also was in the process of pointing it out also when the forum popped up a notice up about other replies, I saw the mod's comment so I canceled my reply!
You jump on the dogpile with all capitols , indicating a loud yelling response that as a newby , i would see as 'unwelome mat' being set out by the NON owners of the forum
as to not needing a quiz to join, it is just a suggestion to help solve a problem, It is a problem or you would not have made your first comment about reading the rules. I see many many newbies make the same mistake over and over,,, it is not the rules I have a problem with and I never indicated that,,, it is the new guys can join without reading the rules, they just check the box that they did, so the new guy problem is real and their many posts are the proof in the pudding.
and you did jump on him, like a dog in a pile on, with

face to boot
review what you said to the new guy, he has not been back since ya all dog piled.

when I first join we were able to post replies directly into the classified section, but were told not to in the rules, somewhere, i guess.
I got a mean note from a mod about it,, shortly there after, they fixed the forum, so you could not even post a reply in the classifieds.
they can change stuff here and they do time to time,,, always room for improvement.
your avator ,,, mayby we don't need to be so septic towards new members.
any way have nice day,,, spread it around, be a zippity do dah kind of attitude
