classifieds?

This is posted at the top of Pow Wow.

There is another one posted at the top of the Bow Classifieds. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask. Although this is a LOT of work for Rob, it is necessary to protect our Tradgang brothers and sisters.

What Bob said, read the rules.

Looks like the Mods are looking out for us by keeping the unscrupilous at bay. OK, I'm out of big words now.  :D

Find the green box at top left of page that says contribute to tradgang and become a contributing member for a small yearly dues fee. That should keep anyone qualified from the way I read the rules.

Jeremy,
That's a good quote but I'm having trouble seeing how it applies to this situation. Care to elaborate?

I'm in that not enough posts boat too. I read posts almost every day and have bought a bow or two on this site, but, I don't post unless I have a specific question or something of real value to say that no one else has already said. That doesn't happen too often.

One more vote for reading more than posting.
Personally I think it is a good rule. It helps to keep out the quick hit and run classified scammers.

Gregg,
I know exactly what your saying.  I'm on here every day most of the time multiple times a day and may go long stretches in between posting.  But like Kat, I thing its a good rule and hope it helps.  I really like the classifieds and would like to see them around in the future.  dino

That quote is a good one in the context it was meant.  It has no correlation to what is being done here.  

Here you have lots of freedom, so I would say this; to just listen and not contribute is denying yourself, and us, of what you can give to this forum.  Everyone has something to give, and it doesn't take much to get to a hundred posts.  Even complaining is posting, and everyone has the ability to do that 8^).  Me included.

Frankly, it's good to know the moderators are looking out for the membership. You guys who just buy need protection as well, and you can do that without one hundred posts.

Thanks Bob, I stand corrected!  


Oh and Dino - Nice quote!

It looks like a good rule, and an excellent way to protect the integrity of the board.

That said, I'm glad I got my trade done before the rule was implemented.

Am I misreading the rules?  The way I read it, you can post classifieds when you reach "trad bowhunter" at 100 posts.  I don't see a time limit, e.g. 100 posts in a year.
