POLL: NEWBS SELLING CARS!!
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?
i dont see a poll
LOL
its up now
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.
I think its up to the mods...cause they are the ones that delete the thread if not enough info is provided.
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

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.

YES but only after a number of posts
project- boost coming soon!
^^^ 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
project- boost coming soon
Yes but only after a number of posts
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.
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.
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.
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.
maybe with enough responses, we can actually get something done bout it.
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?
^^^^ 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.
nice car, too!
I don't need a sig. Oh wait, damn it.
Durtyspeed, you misspelled "chief" under your AV.. 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.
I will fix my spelling, lol. thanks, you are the first to notice.
i guess 73% poll wise is nice
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.
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.
^^^^^^^ 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
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'.
lol, i hate coffee so whatever hoe.
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
LOL.....YES...but only after 200 post
.....or.......give me a rep point
:jerkit:
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.
http://forums.importatlanta.com/show...3#post34363423
prime example
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
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.
...I dream of going fast...
