Their site, their rules
As a former moderator of the EE here; I agree with the rule they have in place. As always, YMMV

Quoted:
What the hell is the deal with that place, they seem to have an active classifieds but 50 posts to sell anything damn. I can see 10-15 but 50 is a lot especially for a slow moving forum. That's not uncommon among numerous forums... it's their way of ensuring you're an active member (the classifieds are a free service offered to active members, not a free sales site with a free discussion board)... that being said, another way to affirm that you plan to remain an active member after you've sold your item is for you to pay the $10 or $15 to become a site supporter and you can instantly post (as soon as your membership is activated by the staff).... |

I'm on there. Don't post very often. I don't like the classifieds rule either, but it's their board. I missed out on a really nice shortened and threaded CZ .22 Mag a few weeks ago because of the rule.

Their site, their rules.
I think the 50 GOOD post rule is great (it is supposed to be 50 quality posts. not just +1 and dumb shit. They want to build a community where people contribute. There are a lot of fudds on the board but it works well for them. |

I'm there as well. It's a discussion forum that happens to have a classified section, not the other way around. 50 quality posts isn't too difficult, espescially if you see something you really want.

Yep. Mainly for USPSA announcements.
When I get around to selling some stuff I'll likely stick it on there. You have to put up with Dog1 though which is a downside. |

It used to be 15 posts and then they moved the target. I can understand the 50 post count to list items for sale. Seems perfectly reasonable.
But less than 50 posts you cannot reply to a sale thread or IM/PM a seller. That's just plain STUPID because they are reducing the market size and doing a disservice to their member sellers that have contributed their 50 posts. If you happen to do a search and find an item of interest for sale there, you can't instantly generate 50 quality posts in order to contact them, and it's a lost opportunity for all parties involved. |

I completely agree. Like you, I'm not a real post whore. I listen and read a lot, and comment when i have something relevant to say. I've been on there for a while and only found a few threads that I felt like I wanted to contribute anything to. I've lost several guns on their EE that I would have jumped on because I couldn't reply or IM the seller. Oh well, their site...

I just did it the old-fashion way; I decided to pull my own weight by becoming a paying member about ten years ago. Like ARFCOM, I guess they figure you're less likely to cause problems (or take advantage of free ads) if you have skin in the game. |

I'm a member over there as well. like others I also missed out a couple of guns, due to not being able to contact the seller. But I just worked at increasing my post count over a few weeks, as I found threads I could contribute something to. Really didn't take much time or effort. Have met and helped out several folks over there.

LOL, I got banned today for posting this in that 9/11 truthers thread. They said personal threats of violence will not be tolerated... I don't know how you can be on the internet in 2017 and have never seen that posting. Oh well see ya in a month.
Are you aware that there are people in this world that have a severe medical condition which causes them to be that way? My mother for instance is one of those people. She is a truck driver that has bad knees and a bad back from driving the truck but you probably do not care about that case either. Oh well I am not one of those people I am 6'4" 245lbs and I exercise every day. I would love to see you say something like to my mother in front of me. Probably never happen though you are probably just an internet tough guy. I doubt very seriously you would say that to someones face. Just my thought.What do you think. Oh I am sorry you probably do not have a brain. I on the other hand will be happy to buy you a plane ticket to come here and see if you have the nerve to say that to someone I know. |

Also don't say anything negative about open carry. I did that a few years ago and got a long scathing PM from a mod.
When he asked if I had anything in response, I said "After all that you said, I still think open carry is for retards." His response was "I'll be watching you"
You know I used to like the place, but over the last few years the increased level of heavy handed mods and their know-it-all long time members-who are sacred cow, don't ever think about even disagreeing with them- has soured me a bit on the place. |

I like INGO for the outdoor/wildlife local info. There are also some solid LEO posters there. A local attorney contributes some thoughtful posts concerning the self-defense arena.
There are a few self-appointed wannabe "experts " there. One them showed up to a local gun class to put the instructor on "notice", and informed the instructor he had to be vetted by the INGO "cognoscenti". Which was a joke considering the instructors credentials. The instructor was not even advertising his class on INGO. The student "expert" guy was a straight up douche bag, and couldn't shoot worth a shit. I had multiple posts deleted because the mod thought I was attempting to inflate my post count to use their classifieds which I have zero desire to use. A lot of big fish small pond ego BS there just like most of the interwebs. YMMV |

I got the email with the infraction and checked my ad. Seems photobucket had crashed and the pic was not showing up. I went around and around with him, trying to tell him that it was not my fault. He basically told me tough shit. So I started looking in the classified for ads that had no pics, because of being hosted on PB. After I had reported ads for the same thing he dinged me on, he got the message and rescinded the violation. Not even an apology. Yea, he's quite the asshole. |

I was one the original 500 members on INGO but over the past few years, Ive quit posting on there and spending more time on arfcom. The issues with the mods seem spot on and a lot of members get upset too easily. There used to be a lot of cool people and we'd meet up but the last INGO gathering I attended was nothing but a bunch of dudes weighing at least 400lbs open carrying Bersa thunder 380's in uncle mikes holsters in a public restaurant. I was embarrassed at how a lot of the members carried themselves in public. I quickly left and won't be back

I'm an active INGO member and the 50 post rule never bothered me. I've made a few friends on there and had the opportunity to shoot shit that I never would've been able to shoot at one of their area group meet and shoot. Great guys if you give them the chance. Just like on ARFCOM, there's assholes everywhere.
