We all abide the rules whether we like them or not, I think the ideas you've mentioned and I've previously suggested of having the classifieds 'private or unseen' until the required post count is achieved is a good idea.

Stops people drooling but left angry and frustrated at not being able to buy

At the point where i joined on friday with a 10 post limit... then just before the mark its put up to 20! I know its coincidental and was not aimed at me but it was a kick in the teeth, and i thought forums were to allow people to air there opinions, so because I'm new to this forum im not allowed an opinion on how its run??? I mean your acting as if ive committed some horrible crime just because ive aired that im unhappy about being forced to talk about things ive no idea about! when infact all that was needed was a little understanding as to my point of view, but instead we get attacked by members not in our situation!

Id prefer not being able to see the classifieds untill i reach the message count... as I wouldnt have known all the stuff i missed out on because of the message count going up just before i was able to use them!

nobody is forcing you to talk about anything. You're just sour because you've missed out on something on the classifieds which isn't my fault.

If you wish to use the classifieds there are requirements. like it or lump it, that is not going to change, unless of course you would rather see a free for all classifieds with no backup from the Mods and the forum owner.

At the minute, we're taking someone to court for scamming on here. Find me another forum which will do that for any member. Any forum.

You know nothing was aimed at you but you're still having a whinge about it..........

you're bordering on being rude now, I haven't been rude to you.

The rules are there, i don't particularly care whether you agree with them or not. They aren't going to change based on your say so. You are of course entitled to your opinion but don't mix that up with the idea of free speech. This forum is not a democracy, you being here is not your right it is our discretion and we will always ask the question

is this forum a better place with or without a certain member??

I have no problem with your opinion. None. However, you should remember that the rules are there for your protection and everyone elses. If YOU don't like the rules, feel free to use another forum.

Ha... Really, I was wondering if you were going to pull rank. look at the end of the day, I was unhappy about the rules. I wasnt expecting anything to change just because i had an issue with it... i was simply airing my views, and instead of being understood, I was told to shut up and get on with it or F off!

Soooo... what did i do?!?! i got on with it, and to be honest without this thread i would have probably still bin stuck on 5posts, but as it happens, this has actually helped me out quite alot!

I have no further issues to discuss regarding the change to the count limit.. so can we leave it there Dusty?

If I'd pulled rank you'd be banned. Simple as that.

Also, simple enough to remove your posts but I haven't. That's the irony, I am merely debating, you're taking it as a personal attack.

Essentially yes, accept it or leave but no one told you to shut up, no one banned you yet you maintain we are the ones with a problem?

Hi mate if you get a spare half hour and your bored, have a read through this
http://p8ntballer-forums.com/index.php?threads/Fraudulent-activity-by-a-buyer.157684/#post-1424752

Dusty got a lot of verbal abuse from one of the members who was scamming people. He's passionate about us and the forum. I don't think he's trying to come across as he's being funny. He's just sick of all the idiots mistreating the classifieds

Thank you, that makes alot of sense!

And i owe you Dusty an apology, I understand better your point of view and appreciate what you & your fellow admins do for this forum! As i have had very little to do with this forum my (if you want) childish approach to what has been understood by myself and the way I've come across must seem really... well childish! lol

but no i totally agree with what you are doing and what you are saying... I guess im just abit naive when it comes to buying things off of a forum! As i literally have Zero experience!

Again thanks Garideon,
And Sorry Dusty... what can I say.. Im a NOOOOB! :notworthy:

Fair enough, it takes a decent person to publicly apologise.

By the way, welcome to the forum :)
