One must make 50 posts before being allowed to sell something in the "for sale"?

I believe the 50 post rule is waived if you become a donating member.

No, the 50 posts rule is across the board for everyone. We just feel that it's best for the forum if members spend some time posting and letting the others get to know them a little before selling stuff.

Ok, thanks for clarifying.

Spike,

I am also a noob, out dating you on the forums by mere months. We can all contribute here, first by learning, next by gratitude and then eventually by being able to add our own experiences to the mix. It is everyone's desire to contribute that makes HF wonderful!

I understand that English may not be your first language, but I can promise that you have a much better grasp of my language than I do of yours. You camp and hammock in a part of the world that brings on new insights that may be beneficial to all.

We all look forward to learning from you as we all continue to grow.

WELCOME to the forums!

I'll never get to 50 posts.

If it make syou feel any better I've done over 50 posts in one night before. :lol:

I think the rule is a great thing . . .

. . . if your in such a hurry to sell something . . .
. . . I am less inclined to want it,
or if the rule wasn't here then likely there would be some of those giving up money for nothing . . .

. . . oh and chicks are never free . . . Tee Hee

it's OK . . . just keep every thing . . . :laugh:

One of the better rules for a site like this. I look at two things when considering a buy from a member of a site I belong to: Post Count and Join Date.

And...

I'll race you - I think I'm on a hot streak, counting this one I've got 2 today.

Maybe I'll hit 50 by New Years.
