New Member - I am not a scam

[2013FX4]

Good evening all,

It has been brought to my attention from a very disrespectful member on this forum (who shall remain nameless) that I have not made a post yet.

To make things easy I attempted to make a deal for a friend who doesn't have a account, but apparently that is not okay...

Well, HELLO ALL.

MD Designated Collector, Avid shooter/hunter, FFL soon (maybe), College graduate in May 2016.

On the sunny side, had a very pleasant transaction with Magnumite today for some ammo.

Thank you for your time gentleman.

Yes, the rules are pretty important around here.

Welcome from downtown Mount Airy.

 

[Alea Jacta Est]

Welcome from the hills.

You'll enjoy your stay much more if you keep it between the lines. The lanes are pretty wide. The crowd will encourage you at first (and in general) but dog you quickly if you are a regular lane stray.

Hope you enjoy your stay.

Good luck with that graduation thing.

Welcome aboard, sir.

Why are you gittin' yer chops busted busted over that?

I've advertised stuff to sell on here for others and ain't heard a cross word about it.

Because he didn't have a single post, let alone 50? Therefore it probably wasn't in the Classifieds. And the post was either deleted or he tried to do this in the Intro section since he is still on zero at this time.

Welcome.

We self police.

50 post requirement is to prevent this forum becoming a dumping ground for people that just want to sell stuff. This isn't eBay or gunbroker.

You'll be fine. Go take the survey and answer a few polls.

Survey? I've been around for a year or so though not terribly active. I don't remember doing a Survey. Did I miss something?

Was over a post in the classifieds, sent a PM

Do I smell a dupe account due to a temp ban?

I don't believe it is a dupe account, and i doubt he is the same person from the other thread

I also don't believe this thread is about him.

I am the "nameless member". No need for me to hide.

This is the correspondence.

Thank you

Reply from me:
Noting that you don't have a single post on this forum, have only been a member for 7 days, and are "asking for a friend", I don't think so. Sorry, but seems pretty suspect and I'm not an idiot.

Tell "your friend" to get an account and contact me with more legit contact details

..........................................

Sorry you felt disrespected and you didn't get the reply you anticipated or had hoped...we have had quite a few scams come through here, and i am a little sensitive to those situations, as I'm sure most are.

Welcome to the community anyways. I encourage you to participate, contribute, ask questions and learn. That's what I did, and I have learned a lot from many members.

Yeah, that's true. That was the other thing that made no sense.

Well that certainly clears things up.

I speculated on the dupe account, because I was wondering how the OP even saw a classified ad with 0 posts.

THen I remembered, anyone can see the classifieds, they just can't list anything til 50posts. I was tihnking water cooler rules applied

It's been a long time since I had less than 50 posts

 

[clandestine]

I got a P.M. from the O.P. as well.

I did not respond. If you want an item Im selling hit the commit to buy button.

Sorry, the survey I was referring to is in the 'water cooler', you won't have access to that either until you have at least 50 (legitimate) posts. Posts here in introductions do not count. Attempts to just artificially boost your post count will result in adverse reactions from the members and moderators. Just take it easy, we're actually fairly aggreable bunch. But we like rules, and follow them.

Good stuff SoMD GEN4.
