Hello from germany......question about terms to post WTB thread

see the rules, you need at least 200 posts.

if only there was a bold sticky thread at the top of that forum...

He didn’t need 200 in 2013 when he last posted a WTB thread.

New 200 post rule bought in a few years ago.

@nicispapa Been a while Stefan 😉

😲

at your current pace of 20 posts in 7 years (2.86 posts/year), it will take you approximately 63 years for the additional 180 posts you will need 😁

I fully agree but unfortunately I don’t thinks it’s that simple. I have to imagine pages like selling and want to buy have global filters (ie x amount of posts to be reached first) vs specific/localized filters (ie you can post about x, x, x, x, and x, x, x but not y, ab, xy, d and so on times infinite). The filter creating would be endless and there would always be loop holes/people prevented causing more disruption. The amount of work to go into navigating all the tiny aspects of what each person coming to this forum could want to buy and creating very fine tuned specific filters that block/allow the most subtle of word choices is unfathomable. I wouldn’t wish that task on even my worst enemy. In a perfect world, however, I agree with your sentiment.

edited to add: basically, if they were to allow one exception to the rule, the would have to create a rule for literally every single restriction as the forum base structure can’t logically understand/differentiate “200 post rule *except* ” kind of thinking.
