    I was trying to reply to a classified add and keep getting an error. I want to know how to fix this from happening again

    Need ten posts buddy. It's in the rules on the big red stop sign of the classified ads.

    This seems to be a recurring theme....

    This is a feature, not a bug.

    Thank you everyone for your constructive feedback. I’ll go stick my head in the toilet later. So smart to add a 10 rule. Guess I’ll just have to post 6 one word posts next.

    If you saw the reason why that 10 post rule was created YOU wouldn't have your attitude.
    You would be grateful it WAS created.

    Then again with your attitude maybe the HAMB is not for you fella.

    From todays thread posts you should be there now.
    Will you be back once you accomplish your access to the classifieds?

    No disrespect. But I work in the fraud world and 10 post isn’t going to stop someone from fraud.

    Well with your experience I’d advise you to start your own traditional Hotrod site and become the administrator.

    Gotta love 'em............. turn up all ornery with their attitude hangin' out.
    All because the free advertising service they use has been upgraded a little, and they weren't aware of the changes.
    Getting a little more involved wouldn't hurt...............and tuck in that attitude.......o_O

    What happened to the thick skin? When I started on this site guys were rough. Don’t be so sensitive and help the guy out.

    The issue was explained in the first two posts. He's been helped. I'd imagine his general attitude in response is what people found disappointing.

    I'd have to disagree that the ten posts rule doesn't work too. Seems to work quite well.

    Yeah I figure if his agenda doesn’t fit the rules, he’ll leave. Then the rules worked. It’s useless to get caught up in the tit for tat.

    After a sarcastic response like this, I think he got off lightly. These questions about messaging always come from guys that have not engaged on the forum. If they were participating, they would have already heard about the 10 post rule.

    You may find that if the request for assistance comes across as genuine, the responses may be more helpful. Start getting antsy and you make yourself somewhat of a target.................

    Thanks Rust, as I said no disrespect but enough. I was trying to make light of the fact that I didn’t read the rules and I’m sure I’m not the only one. I can tell it is a sore subject when it has to be repeated but if it has to be repeated that means that it’s not working. All I want to do is contact someone about a car and can’t. How about someone adds rules like all ads have to have a price or contact information. By the way I’m at 16 posts and still can’t respond. Wow

  21. You have two pages of replies to your earlier thread about best places to search for a project. You didn’t reply or thank any of them yet you come back here bitching. Just getting your post count up?

    The new 10 post rule is working fine as the scam reports have decreased a lot.

    What’s not working is PEOPLE ARE NOT READING THE RULES .

    Instead of taking time to actually look at the rules, people are just posting questions.


    Speaking of, I put in BOLD your comment above all adds need prices and locations.

    Guess what ?
    All the info you commented on....

    https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/cant-reply-to-classified-ads.699639/

    This is quickly going off the tracks.
    No disrespect back at you.
    I suggest You read all the rules in all the sections.
    Thanks,

    When using the mobile app prices will not be listed unless the seller actually includes it in the write up. You have to switch over and view it with the browser on your phone just FYI. Randy
