That rule is in place because we have had spam issues before where bots are signed up on the boards, and then they post all kinds of unrelated things  for sale.

If you want to sell something, make a few relevant posts elsewhere.  Besides, building your reputation up around here is only going to help when someone decides to hand their cash over to you.

The AA forums are not strictly a classified sale board.

The sale boards are for AA forum members to sell items to other AA forum members.  If we don't know you, why would we buy your goods?

By now, pretty much every rule we have on AA is because someone came before you, did something stupid, and caused the Mods and Admin to create these rules.  

Good luck. 8)

 :roll: And I propose an automatic ban on people making off-topic posts. However, My opinion does not matter. Nor is it founded by any substantial backing. In other words, let go of your petty gripes. The mods and admins have enough to deal with already.

And I propose that extremist read the spelling/grammar thread that was active about a month ago.

Even though it does help with spam bots it causes people to run around spamming trying to post something to sell there gun. Which is what the admins are trying to stop by making people post something some where else? Kind of counter productive I think but, what ever, just a thought.

Rawr at noobs!

And yes we all fully enforce and endorse the, "no new guys posting in classifieds" agenda. If you'd like to post an ad try either AirsoftRetreat.com or ArniesAirsoft.co.uk

Now if you have a badass custom Shrike with a real ACOG then you can post ;-p
