It’s a sore subject for most of us. We have seen threads like this on more than one occasion when someone joins the forum JUST to sell on the classifieds. The rules weee put into place to protect us against scammers, which are all too frequent on forums these days. Many of us are cautious to new members because of this. Throw in a new member having a tantrum, bc his 2 word responses to a bunch of posts aren’t considered “meaningful”, and it puts us all on high alert. I don’t see you as one of these, but some are more cautious than others.
Consider something else. I know how badly you want to buy or sell in the classifieds, but building yourself a name here will help your case as time goes on. Many members will scroll right over your classifieds post strictly bc you have zero feedback, or haven’t posted enough on the forum. We’ve been programmed to see these things as red flags. The more “meaningful” posts you have, the more likely someone will bite on a classified.
Just my 2 cents.
Good luck!
