Sorry for my ignorance, but where are the classifieds now located? Thouht they were under Turkey Guns headline then went to the folder.
All members now must have at least 50 post to view the classifieds.
I was wondering where it had went
That makes no sense to require a minimum of posts in order to view the classifieds? What can we do to change this?

What makes no sense is the members who cannot or will not read the rules for posting classified ads and follow them. 99.9% of these members had less than 50 posts. So as they say, "One bad apple spoiled the bunch."
So a new rule was implemented by Admin, less than 50 posts, no classified access. The rules are in place to protect the members. It's the house rules plain and simple.
it doesnt take long if you're a regular to get to 50 posts and it helps the members get a sense of security, I've always had the best dealing of any internet forum here on the old gobbler call classifieds.
If you just want to sell stuff I'd recomend craigslist or ebay
AMEN
...by the time you do the post 50, we get to know who you are !! :z-flirtysmile3:
come on now 50 post is E-Z, some guys do 50 post b/4 coffee every day :morning:
thanks CASH

That's good to know, I've been lurking around for a couple of years I think. Maybe it's time to participate a little.

The more the merrier. :funnyturkey:
I too have lurked before I joined. I think a minimum number of posts is a great idea and 50 is very easily obtainable as long as your posts are not drivel just to get to 50.

50 post is a meager number and this was all OG's idea and I think it is a very good idea.
If someone wants to advertise to the entire membership of OG no matter of how many post they have there is a quick and easy solution to that.... Contact Annie about advertising space on the top and side of the main page. But when Shannon provides "free" advertising to members and all he ask is for some simple guidelines to be followed. I would think that for some people to complain about some of his simple rules designed to protect the members is not only petty but also very insulting toward Shannon himself who is giving people a place to advertise for "free".

Haha. More like within 5 mins of logging in!
39 more to go
I understand the need for minimum posts to sell stuff but shouldn't you be able to look and buy stuff without having the minimum number of posts? I frequent Snipershide a lot and they require 100 posts to sell something but you can still look and buy with less than 100 posts.
Think that might be a compromise?
Nope!
Sorry , I wish there was ,but there is no way of adjusting the post count setting to allow low posters to buy but only high posters to sell ---50 is real low - This is a happy compromise so that the members get to sell and buy chokes and ammo to people you can trust and we don't have to be eating up the staffs personal time , ill point out that just yesterday we had 4 gun related adds with no picture , and you guessed it right the members who did it had less than 10 posts each- I strongly suggest if you want to use that area you start posting
Some people may not be happy with it , but this is to protect the members , and there are thousands of very nice trusting folks here that will take your word for it, not realizing that there are some real crooks out there - you send them your money and they disappear
One of the members mentioned another site that has the same issue , and that is almost all hunting or gun related sites have issues with people baiting for false transactions - some sites even post up long lists of contact information and emails of known scammers - It is real bad with these people -
The Turkey call classifieds has never had a issue , and that operates with no restrictions
