Well, what happened??
OG has decided that in order to post or even view the classifieds that a member has to have a minimum of 50 posts to their credit.
Oh ok. Well that stinks, I had a couple hundred before the redone the site

:TooFunny: Magic!
Guys I want to take this opportunity to explain the situation with the classifieds , and this has been going on for quite some time, not just here but on many hunting related sites
What has been happening is that there are people that register to hunting sites , (usually very low post count members) post a classifieds or wanted add , and wait for someone to take the bait
We make people post a picture to protect them from scam artists like this - we have noticed that 99% of the people who post up a add without a picture have very low posts ,in fact it is so bad , that we rarely see a less than 50 posts members post a gun classifieds add the right way - we send messages , they ignore - then a few weeks latter they post another add with out a picture - the members here dont know them either , so the stuff rarely sells for them anyway
So we went in and adjusted it so that you have to have 50 posts , to sell in that area - problem fixed , and members protected and happy
I guess I don't have enough posts anymore.
I was wondering same thing. Thought i was losing it!!
do not post alot but im almost there

VERY UNDERSTANDABLE..HOPEFULLY I can get my post count up to 50 in a few weeks. Never sold anything on here but like to buy stuff sometimes
Well that splainsit! :z-winnersmiley:
understandable, need to get my post up now
I thought I was missing something.
One of these days, I will make it :you_rock:
Understandable
That would explain why when I posted I had a couple of choke tubes for sale it went into the neatherworld.
Yeah me too
It would be nice to be able to purchase something, regaurdless of post count.

You can thank those that couldn't follow the rules. One bad apple spoils the bunch as they say.
I want to thank CASH and all the mods for doing this..........
Just another reason this is the best turkey hunting site on the web! :icon_thumright:

me too but I understand why they instituted the rules
If I had adds posted are they now gone?
I think that is a good idea. I have friends on other sites who have been bitten. It is that time of year to become more involved. Crush of the holidays are over and Gobble Gobble starts soon. Will get my count up.
Will take me forever.
One more post closer to 50....
Quote from: DUPREE on January 12, 2012, 09:11:35 AM
If I had adds posted are they now gone?
No. Yours are still up. The only ads that get taken down are the ones that aren't compliant with the rules.
For those of you worried about getting up to 50 posts, unless you only get online once a week or so, you'll be up over 50 before you know it.
Does the classifieds magically appear when you hit fifty or is it a manual thing?
I read a lot.....just don't post much. :)
working my way up to 50!

Bummer, as I have sold and bought on here before. I guess I need to build up my equity again.
I understand the aggrevation and appreciate the effort of you guys and gals for this great site!!
okay
:jackson:
One more Down!
When did go into effect, I use to get it
Makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.
I didn't care if my post number followed me when I changed my name or not, know I do. I guess I better post more often instead of just reading, sorry guy if I don't have anything important to say.
25 half way there.
I was wrong, looking at messages. Got a way to go.
:icon_thumright:
Had over 100 and had to redo my account, now starting over.
I have been a member since 2-6-11.
I have 26, this will make 27 posts.
I bought two items off the classifieds on this site.
A 870 super mag with the canterlever barrel from a guy in VA before either of us knew it was not allowed on this site.
And a 20 gauge vent rib 870 barrel only.
I think the owner should allow guns to be sold. All other sites I go on do.
And he should get rid of this new rule.
If not I will just come here less often and it will take longer to get my 50 posts.
BTW I came here today to look for another 870 barrel.
Mike.
Edited to add: I also sold several boxes of 10 gauge ammo here.
So I have three transactions and I can't view the forum.
Silly.

You should look at it like this.... Visit more often and post more and you will be at 50 in no time. 50 post is nothing and hardly anything to complain about. You are looking at this in the completely wrong way. The rule is established to help protect the members of the site and if you can't see how the new rule helps in this way then there is nothing we can do to make you happy.
I am a Mod on AR15.com and belong to more gun/hunting sites than I can remember.
Don't have time to post on them all.
I do have to do some work.

Thanks
you have to have a post count of more than 50 in order to see them.
OK Thanks
thanks
that explains it
I wish I could hurry up and get to 50, but I don''t have alot to say, since I am not that smart.
But I like tater tots.
what about the other ones were you could buy vests and decoys and things :turkey2: :funnyturkey:
13 more for me. I need to hurry up and hit 50 too
11 more for me
same way here, oh well - in due time
I still have a ways to go, but I'm 1 closer now! :happy0064:
One more and counting.
I'm getting there as well.. :happy0064:
dont let Trey in, boys got more money than he knows what to do with :drool:
Yea, wish it was 20 instead of 50
tell me about it :turkey2:
If individuals with low post counts would have followed the rules of posting in the classifieds then there would not have been a certain number you have to have. It is not difficult, especially this time of year, to get 50 posts. I for one am glad they did it and this site has the best classifieds policy of all the forums I am on. Just find somethings to post on, 50 is not hard number to get to. Good Luck!
that explains a lot

Geez. It's been awhile since I've been on here and I thought they deleted the classifieds. Glad I saw this. Thanks.
I wish I had my posts from OG 1.0 website transferred when 2.0 rolled out.
Get'n there.

You all better get on the ball. There's some really nice stuff for sale in all three classified areas. You know there's always the Welcome To OG Section if you're kinda shy and need to break the ice.

I saw the post about needing 50 post to be able to use the turkey gun classified board. However, I have 198 post and i do not see the turkey gun section. Any ideas? Do I not understand something?

Closer
Sent from my DROID RAZR

Once you open the turkey guns tab it should be the first board.
Choke Tubes, Ammo & Turkey Gun Related Classified
Lead Shooters Section
Muzzleloader Shotguns
These are the three boards I see. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.
Thanks,
Eric
I would really like to hit 50, but don't have much to say
dial up internet really makes it hard to do also
Wish we could show the mods our ebay feedback and feedback from other hunting websites and get authorization to access them.
Don't have much to say myself, this site covers so much by the time I think of something it has already been covered. Thanks guys for all the information.
One for the Gipper
If you are looking for gun sales, here is a quote from Oldhen in the rules section of that forum.
NO SALE of FIREARMS allowed at this time, due to legal reasons.

It is for gun related matters such as chokes, shells, scopes, etc. but not guns.
It is a turkey gun forum to discuss patterns, how long your barrel is and other matters important to forum members.

Cedar Falls
Got a buddy that lives in Waterloo and works in CF. We have bowhunedt & turkey hunted together the last 6-7 yrs. The last 4-5 years I've been taking his boy's friend youth hunting. We go as a group....either me & the boy or me & the friend.. we split when we get to the timber. The last couple of years they have argued as which one goes with me. The last 3 yrs. the one hunting with me has shot the 1st bird and I ended up calling in a bird for the other one. The funny part is, my buddy does most of the scouting (we both know the area and where the birds run really well) and he is a better caller than me. Last year between us 4 and a friend of his we took 7 birds. I ended up doing all the calling. All together I called in 9 gobblers and 6 Jakes in about 6 hours worth of hunting....not a bad year....luck isn't such a bad thing to have. :laugh: :laugh:

Even thought this is my first post and new to the sight, I totally agree with the 50 post rule. It will help keep things honest for sure.
I need a bunch more ifn I knew 50 was needed I'd been saying abunch more

It does, updates to the highest count, so if you make 5 posts, then your count is updated. You won't see a 1 increase with each post.

No, if you post 5 times in a row, then you will only see your post count go up by 5, not with each one. I think. It shows the most recent count. So, in the example your count would go from 27 to 32.
I might be way off. It might only update at midnight or something too. No big deal, just keep posting.
2829 with previous post. 2830 with this one. So it works, even on the previous post you still see 2830, it is always current
Sugarray is correct.

Wish I woulda thought of that, but still wouldn't have done it that way. Think I will hit my 50 on multi-word posts with something to say in each one.
But I will say 10 to go, I mean 9 with this one.

I can see it now... all this work to get to 50, only to get to see the classifieds and find nothing but an 870 for $600.00. LOL
Just a thought... but many forums that have restricted access to their classified section make it either a certain number of posts or also a certain length of time that you have been a member. Thay way you don't have threads like these full of members who have been on here long enough to use the classifieds, but now just have to make pointless posts to build up their post count.
Shoot.. I bet I could have broken that up into 10 or so posts
