/rant about classifieds

But is ignoring it and allowing it to ruin the community the right thing to do? Portland is a great case study against that particular approach.

I don't think it ruins the community, there is more here than the classifieds, even though that is where I spend most of my time.

I am on another forum that requires 50 "meaningful" posts in order to participate in the classifieds. Longstanding members will pick apart anyone who appears to be trying to gain their 50 posts too fast. Talk about toxic.

I agree some of the ads look like a bad overpriced yard sale, and some of the price gouging hurts my soul. Gotta ignore it and move on. Water off a ducks back.

@Stomper came out of the dungeon earlier with a false claim! You've really got to watch out with that one.

Oh? He must of moved in the last month or so. Musta' got sick of the view.

Don't want no Gubbins, don't buy no Gubbins! Thar, that was simple!

Was that in Pill Cosby's voice ?

We never hear this concern from supporting members.

Again, back to the tiered privilege method. I'm appalled by the seniority and whomever pays more money gets a more meaningful opinion rhetoric

He was being sarcastic in saying that people that actually pay for the site don't complain.

I'm beginning to see why we are loosing our rights in the PNW. So many naysayers. Tragic

I think that ought to about do it!

Take it up with the management...

3. No thread-crapping

Thread-crapping occurs when a member posts negative comments in another members classified ad. If you believe there is a problem with the ad either start a conversation with the seller or report the post for moderation. Sellers are allowed to list their items at whichever price they choose, so if you don't like the price of an item simply move on.

I don't know that I would necessarily lump in the loss of votes due to Kommiefornians and complaining about something that really doesn't merit a complaint as the same thing.

The commies have left Mexico and have infiltrated Oregon, Washington, who am I kidding, they're a plague that has crossed all sanctuaries.

Yes, conservative voters are complacent and need to get out and vote. But you're pissing and moaning about something that really doesn't matter that you've paid nothing for....

I didn't realize the NWFA classifieds were so impactful and here I thought was it all the Commiefornia twats moving the PNW.

I guess you're as dumb as I am.

Perhaps it's not so much about the specific topic, as much as the general lack of community. Maybe I'm the @ssh0le, but either way, I still feel this caused more fighting and disagreement than it impactfully resolved.

My favorite quote from sellers

I want to get what I got into it. LOL

Even if you over paid, used the gun for 10 years and put your dirty hands on it.

We're more teasing you for complaining about a site that you're not supporting regarding a pointless topic.

That said, on a more serious note, what firearm PAC do you support? If the answer is "none" it may be time to revaluate the finger pointing....

We are moving off the point, but OFF and GOA if it matters. Are we judging on these memberships as well? This a falice measuring contest all of a sudden? Just trying to point out that not all investments are sound, and the value is in the firearm, not the high speed low drag accessories. The secondhand market is not designed to offer positive return on investment in MOST scenarios. But alas, we've become distracted

The reason for that is to discourage what has happened here where a bunch of new people sign up just to use the classifieds usally during a price gouge season.

What's falice and why do we want to measure it? I already have lack of concentricity so I am hoping my falice is not out of wack too!

They do the gouge and ghost without the reach around !

That all depends, look what a Colt Python when for when it was sold new vs what they sell for now. As for the subject of the OP I'd refer back to post #68.

I'm glad that you're doing your part. But this sight is more than just a classifieds section. This site is for discussing the political climate regarding firearms as well a asking meaningful questions regarding the guns and fishing that we all enjoy.

The point is, this rant was started, when the easy solution is to move on. For example, driving in Portland and someone cuts you off, which they will, is it better to flip the bird and get upset? Or is it better to move along?
