POLL: NEWBS SELLING CARS!!

[2.0civic]

Hey guys, i didnt know where i should post this, but i think that we should not let people with less than 40 posts put cars up for sale. i see alot of people with like 10 posts or less advertising their cars up for sale with little info and not following the rules. What you guys think?

[Bishop]

i dont see a poll

[thinkfast®]

LOL

[2.0civic]

its up now

[2.0civic]

i have seen 3 people advertise cars with less than 10 posts earlier and one with 35 but out of his 35 posts, like 28 are about 2 for sale threads. shit is dumb.

[Bishop]

I think its up to the mods...cause they are the ones that delete the thread if not enough info is provided.

[blacknightteg]

half the time when you see one newb sell a car, when there are a shit load of newbs that post after them with like 3 or 4 posts, its the same person

[Halfwit]

lol i am officially the

"lil guy who talks alot of shit on the internet, but loves to fuck with noobs who dont read the rules before posting cars for sale."

kinda long title,but ehh.

damn man. thats a huge ass title.

[HyPer50]

Yes, they should be allowed to sell on here... Provided that they provide the required info.

[Halfwit]

damn man. thats a huge ass title.
its a big responsibility..lol

[aaronfelipe]

Another forum that I'm a member of, you need a minimum of 200 posts to sell anything. 40 would be stupid because is it easy to whore in here just to sell a car.

[Z33_kid]

YES but only after a number of posts

[Z33_kid]

^^^ yea 200 sounds good cuz like wtf u see tis people wit 2 or 10 post selling cars n then u never hear about em no more like if tis would be ebay or autotrader the posting would be like the payment

[atlvi3tb0i]

Yes but only after a number of posts

[CSquared]

I'm all for it. It would sure the hell eliminate people like that kid with 40 posts a few days ago that started talking shit about IA members and complaining that we were lowballing him on his shitty cars that nobody wanted.

EDIT: by "it" i mean the 200 post limit.

yup. and i cant remember but one of my buddies is registered with a hatch site and before they can post they have to have like 200 or something too. im just tired of seeing people post and be like oh ill have the info later. Do it right the first time or dont bother and the mods shouldnt have to be on every newbs ass to fix the post.

[DurtySpeed]

I say 200 posts and 60 days. That would discourage a lot of bullshit and get rid of all these stupid for sale threads that don't have shit in them.

[2.0civic]

and that would put a end to the post whores who would get 200 in a week by bumping shit up and then being able to post. i hate seeing "ill have pics later tonight or weekend" or WTF ever else shit they put up

another newb....first post is a FS post. damn. Glad we are autotrader now. At least he actually made a nice thread though.

[Bishop]

or have it like HT. I think you have to be a member for 2 weeks and you only get a 5 post a day limit for those first two weeks.

[2.0civic]

maybe with enough responses, we can actually get something done bout it.

[C22H19N3O4]

I applaud your efforts, but it won't change anything. A dishonest/stupid noob will maintain his/her colors whether at 200 or 2000 posts. IMO, most ignorant noobs don't most detailed information b/c they have something to hide about the item/s for sale. But members continue to purchase this junk. Furthermore, having 2 Mods filter through all posts is too much to ask. They have jobs and a life outside of this board. I personally report posts that violate the TOS. The honest members have to help "police" the forum.

BTW, I'd say that a huge percentage of the "For Sale" items are no longer for sale. Posts older than, say 30 days, w/o a post from the owner should be deleted. Perhaps, a few members should be "hired" just for that purpose?

[2.0civic]

^^^^ very wise words indeed man. I forgot who said it but if i find out i will rep them for the great poing but whoever said that we see these people with limited posts then never hear from them, that was excellent point too.

Durtyspeed, you misspelled "chief" under your AV. :D . I'm trying to help you look more official. ;)

I volunteer to be 'hired'. Lol. I would love to be able to delete threads in the for sale section.

[DurtySpeed]

I will fix my spelling, lol. thanks, you are the first to notice.

[2.0civic]

i guess 73% poll wise is nice

[EJ25RUN]

Yes they should!

Ia is a good place to advertice and many poeople look for cars here.

just because you are a newb doesnt mean you are dishonest.

[CSquared]

yeah but I'm sure senior guys on here don't enjoy having their threads bumped down and off pages by newbs who are just on here to make a car sale, and contribute nothing of value to the forum. Priority for the sale section should be on a basis of seniority.

[2.0civic]

^^^^^^^ true cause i seen people who all there 20 threads over a 2 year period are nothing but cars for sale posts. they have like a week where they post like 5 things then the car sells then you dont hear them again til they sell another

[DurtySpeed]

Yeah, all true. Seriously though, can I volunteer to be a for sale forum moderator. I know rut does it and he can't always be around and it seems like I am around at different times than him. Lol. It would be great to have the power to delete those ignorant threads. Especially the ones people keep posting about internet scams, like 'get a free starbucks giftcard'.

[2.0civic]

lol, i hate coffee so whatever hoe.

[2.0civic]

i wish the mods would check this out....i still seem like 4 people with less than 10 posts selling cars still and still fucking up....come on mods, just say no to noobs selling cars

[£G2♣]

:rant: LOL.....YES...but only after 200 post :).....or.......give me a rep point :goodjob: :jerkit: :2up: :rolleyes:

[2.0civic]

well just saw ANOTHER NOOB. HAS 7 post and only 1 not in his own FS thread. NO PICS, VERY VERY LIMITED INFO and its driving me nuts that people dont take the time to make good posts.

[2.0civic]

prime example

[£G2♣]

who saw that post i dont know if it got deleted but, he just joined IA, his first post was selling his hatch i think it was, his name is alex133? somthin like that

[NinjaHobo]

I'm a noob to ia, but i totally agree. if you want to sell a car then at least take time to contribute something other than useless bumps for your own car to the forum. garbage like that gives the good noobs a bad name... even though noob isn't a great name in the first place.

yeah we don't want to discredit noobs like you who are even nice enough to let our friends crash our cars into curbs. ha.

thats my point. im glad you understand. my BIGGEST problem with the whole issue (and its not just noobs) in when people put threads up with no pics and are like "ill do it in a few minutes". fuck you. no you wont. take the time to make one post and do it right or dont bother. if you got 5 minutes to paste stupidness, take 5 more to make it right

[iNsTuN nOoDoH]

Just edit their first post telling them to follow the rules, lock the thread and post this picture...

[NinjaHobo]

yeah, what can i say? we need more stupid noobs like me who have crazy friends that think they can drive.:D j.k. it was a complete accident. and I still haven't gotten my car out of the shop.:rant: It's been over a month now.

[R3RUN]

sorry for bringing this thread back from the dead but I have to say somethin.

ninja dont talk about my driving, you cant say shit. you told me to do it so i did and we got into an accident. shit happens. ive done nothing but try to help you so dont even talk this kind of shit.

[NinjaHobo]

WTF??!! Did you not read the post?? I said it was a complete accident. What the hell is this?? ne way, it's completely true. People like us think they can drive and end up doing stupid shit to their cars for not a good reason. I wasn't bashing on your skills, I was bashing on our lack of judgement.

[CSquared]

Do you guys need hugs?

my lack of judgement? you told me to try it and i did. your the owner of the car so i did what you said. that sounds like your judgement to me. btw i CAN drive ive just never done that kind of driving before and im pretty sure you know that. just dont give me shit about it at least im a good enough guy to fix it. i could have said fuck that and walked home. btw get that wheel fixed and send me the bill.

[/threadjack]

oh and yes i think that there should be some sort of rules over noobs selling cars on ia.

[BLk92DA]

Noobs should post up items for sale...as long as they follow the "for sale" rules. They might post up our dream car for sale and you'd be grateful that they posted.

Besides, people with thousands of post sell cars for their other people anyways.
Why not let noobs post? If they fuck up, give them another chance.. shit gives the admin something to do anyways. :) :2cents:

[quickdodge®]

I like the "100" or "200" post rule, too. I hate the worthless non-contributers that troll through here doing nothing but selling shit. This is a free site and a free selling space and these idiots come through and take advantage of that. That's why I am tougher on these new folks and not the more common, productive IA people. The newer ones are idiots who think they know it all and can come on here and do it how they want.

Just so you know, I don't think all new folks are idiots. Just a lot of them. Later, QD.

[Halfwit]

well said!^^^^ i agree 100%

[2.0civic]

well said!^^^^ i agree 100%


X2.


Mods and higher ups, is there ANYTHING we can do about this?? people still cant read the rules and STILL post WTB in the FS forums and still make dumbass posts saying "ill have pics in ten minutes" how about we format it where if there isnt a pic on the page when it is submitted, it blocks the post automatically. any way to do that??

[quickdodge®]

No. I'm pretty sure that can't be done. According to the rules, we are giving the people a 4 hour time limit to get photos. The way I see it though, is that when you make the initial post, you should have everything ready then. If you don't have pics or whatever, then don't post until you do have everything. Later, QD.

[2.0civic]

yeah thats how i see it too. dont waste anyones time making one fucked up one when you can do it right once.
