50 Post really!

Do I really have to post 50x before I could inquire about buying something?

 

50 posts is only for selling, but tbh it seems like the forums aren't really moderated these days.

 

The forum layout is also wayyy out of date, the ih8mud forums use the latest BBB forum coding and tacomaworld is at least 10 years old. So may features in the new updated site. The only caveat is the site is down a day or longer to get it all configured.

 

Welcome to TacomaWorld

You can start conversations with sellers to buy. Starting a for sale or trade THREAD requires 30 days & 50 legitimate posts.

 

OH NO!!! what are we going to do without a moderator to tell us what to do!!? Remember no running in the halls!! Lmao.

 

Those posts are automatically not counted. See your profile..

Really dont see anything wrong with this forum format. Its simple and it works

 

Well the format is the same. There are more tools available to users.

 

Correction, you have to have 50 posts AND be an active member for 30 days before you can sell something. It doesn't state it in the rules/guidelines (I checked them twice). However, when I went to post something for sale, it wouldn't allow me.

I reached out to one of the Moderators and he told me "You have to wait 30 days". I'm okay with that, I just wish it was posted somewhere. Maybe it is and I missed it?

 

The 30 day requirement is not listed on the BST rules. Mods should add it if that’s correct. Unwritten rules lead to unnecessary bans and can result in malicious enforcement.
Also if posts in the the new member forum don’t count toward the required 50 posts that should be stated in the BST rules as well to ensure new members are aware.

I agree, the mods should add it. I even told the mod that when I emailed him "Hey, the rules don't say 30 days, just 50 posts". He said he would look into it and try to update it, but it was 30 days.
