    Default Newbies are a pain

    New poster entered 9 posts in Accessories and ammo for individual ammo that he could have included in one post.
    Thats the kind of abuse the moderators could have addressed

    Something the mods could or perhaps even should address,but I suspect most do it that way to get their post count up.

    Dont think Classifieds count towards post count

    I think there should be a small post count minimum to post classified ads unless you message the mods and verify you are a business (i.e. AR15discounts).

    How about not letting anyone post in the classifieds until they have >100 valid posts ? Not perfect but makes them work for it and post whores are pretty evident in their quest, that can hopefully get shutdown before they reach 100.

    You're absolutely correct, I hadn't had my coffee yet and I guess I misread the post.

    I couldn't agree more with those saying people should have a minimum post count to post in the classifieds.

    We're running out of sticks with which to beat this dead horse...

    Post count is irrelevant. They'll just make a bunch of meaningless posts.

    Why the hell should I have to post all my ammo in one post?

    "Ammo for sale" is not getting any looks.

    A headline with the caliber of ammo is somethin I would look at if it's something I want.
