This may be in the wrong section but I can definitely turn into a rant/rave!
I'm a new member and can't message people or comment on posts. Is there some sort of minimum post rule? If so, that's so lame. Other gun forums don't have that.
Any help is greatly appreciated
First of all, welcome!
Second, I have been on another forum or two and this one is pretty cool.
I don't know the answer to your question, but as a new guy, I was able to post the first day, but I don't know about classifieds.
I did read the rules for this forum the first day, and they were easy to find, I don't remember anything about a minimum number of anything required, but guys on here will help you achieve whatever number you need, just ask us.
The forum I just quit, I actually told the moderator to delete my profile twice before they finally did. This was basically in protest because some poor guy posted that he was looking for the rules on giving feed back on a classified after a transaction, he received a nasty gram from an "administrator", but it was from an anonymous account with "no reply" contact info. He simply asked why they did this and why someone just didn't contact him and specify what he did wrong as he wishes to obey the rules.
I posted that I agreed that was a bummer and I couldn't find the rules for classifieds either. I immediately received a nasty gram myself but it wasn't anonymous and it was from a valid moderator who informed me that he deleted my post because we are not allowed to say anything bad about the forum. You can guess what I told him lol, I was polite about it though.
I have never been banned from any site in my life but those guys were ridiculous to punish a member for asking where he could find the rules so I quit.
I was more than happy to leave voluntarily even though they never asked me to, as I don't want anything to do with a site that punishes people for asking where the rules are so they can read them and abide by them...that was lame!
Sorry to rant so long, but I am glad that I found this site where guys talk about things we have in common, nobody bashes me for liking my Glocks, and you don't have to own a $3,500 custom 1911 to fit in.
I hope you stick around and give the site a chance, let me know if you need help getting a certain number of posts or messages or whatever.
