How many posts are required in order to post in the classifieds?

**Todd Baumann** · 02-15-2011, 07:01 PM

Well with this being new over here and having to hit so many posts, only Bill S. or EFN will be able to sell something for the next week

**Steve Gogo** · 02-15-2011, 07:06 PM

Padding...

Jumping on the band wagon...

**JGPierce** · 02-15-2011, 10:17 PM

Pad or not to pad?

**HIPO289** · 02-15-2011, 10:27 PM

With 100 min I may reach that by 2015

I've been a loyal FFR builder/owner since about 2000. I have FFR 1920. I posted some technical items during the build of my Mark2. Some postings were viewed as useful. Now I doubt the current relevance of my build details in view of the evolution of the FFR to Mark 4 levels so my post count is, and will be, low. I'm finding that I have a few (salable) items that are no longer needed and value "classifieds' as a resource to me (and a potential bargain to current builders). So..... given that I will not pad my postings with drivel, is there a way to resolve this apparent conflict?

I'm guessing that this "special need" is probably less import to the big picture than the need to counter potential spammers, but I am good customer and I am tempted to build an additional;
33 or,
a GTM or,
a WRX adapted super fly weight.

So moderators, please balance the objectives and keep, guys like me in your mind as you determine policy.

I'm not saying that the resolution of this "posting in classified" will influence my future purchase decisions, but I'm in sales and marketing myself and view alienation of my prospective customers as contrary to the general mission.

Best of luck with the new forum!

Was the question ever answered as to how many posts are required to post in the classified section?

According to the "announcement" thread in the classified section you need 25 posts. Well I got 1.

Thank you. I did not see it when I went there this morning. 5 more to go.

Like Bill said, there's still a ton of activity on the FFcars forum classifieds. I have an engine package I think I'm going to sell (project fell through) and even though I'm certain to have the required number of posts here in a couple of days, I'll put it in the classifieds at the other forum due to the higher (for now) traffic there. Better chance of selling it and I could use the cash right now!

**Dajomaco** · 02-16-2011, 09:04 AM

Good to know...Thx Darc

**cChrisM** · 02-16-2011, 09:50 AM

Mark and Bill are correct. There is a ton more still on the other site and I think that will be the main area for the near future. This will take time just like anything new. Glad to see the tick is only 25 though.

**mrmustang** · 02-16-2011, 09:57 AM

Keep in mind not all of the classified sections are open yet, so far I only have posting permissions in the donor for sale section.

Bill S.

**slaga** · 02-16-2011, 09:58 AM

There is a reason I wanted to post it here and it has nothing to do with the number of viewers, but rather a specific viewer.

**DougR** · 02-16-2011, 11:10 AM

**Boba** · 02-16-2011, 11:11 AM

Nooooo, not me.

**luvaz** · 02-16-2011, 11:53 AM

Looks like 25 is the magic number if you haven't heard!

Thanks,
Will

**letsgosteelers** · 02-16-2011, 12:51 PM

**slaga** · 02-16-2011, 01:30 PM

Well it looks like I might be able to post in the classifieds now. We shall see.

**LARRYVEGAS** · 02-16-2011, 02:23 PM

Doug,Title of thread says it all.

**DougR** · 02-16-2011, 04:17 PM

Larry, looks like you need a little more padding.

**AJ Roadster NJ** · 02-16-2011, 04:24 PM

Geez you guys, padding your posts...have you no shame?!?! OOPS, I seem to resemble that remark... :^)

**slaga** · 02-16-2011, 04:35 PM

Just so you all know, padding is not necessary as the classifieds are not open yet.

**mrmustang** · 02-16-2011, 06:49 PM

Correct, only the "other car for sale" section is open.

I don't know anyone that would do something like that... Umm... Well...
I USED to not know anyone that would do something like that......

**Joe** · 02-16-2011, 07:09 PM

Getting close to 25!

Edit! Correction, I'm at 25!

**Joe** · 02-16-2011, 07:11 PM

And 32 people already have more posts than I...

**David Hodgkins** · 02-16-2011, 08:26 PM

I have opened all of the classified sections.

If you are a "known" personality to the mods you MAY get away with creating a thread before you get to 25 posts. The mods have been instructed to delete threads of those who do not have 25 posts, and who are unknown to us.

This is an effort to be as flexible as we can while the site is still "spinning up". Please bear with us, and don't get too upset if you post your 1st here is a post to the classifieds and it goes away.

**luvaz** · 02-16-2011, 08:54 PM

Dave, Thanks for the update. On another note, please keep us updated as things materialize on the HB cruise!

Thanks,
Will

**NicksPapaw** · 02-16-2011, 10:29 PM

I am impressed with the way they are ramping up the site. Take your time and do it right!
