The waiting is not new at all and has been a rule since the beginning.
When the forum changed hands some of the rules didnt continue on.
There was so many problems happening the site owner brought back the 40 post rule plus as mods we dont have to play gatekeeper. The site does it automatically
Its mostly inconvenient to the honest people.
But the scammers are usually Blocked !

It's a shame IMO. I just sold my 392 charger last week and have a bunch of parts to sell including OEM Forged "Slingshot" Wheels wrapped in continental DWS-06 in great condition and some other goodies (Car cover, catch can, etc...). I previously sold/bought items on these hellcat forums no issues but now all of a sudden someone wants to enforce the rules out of nowhere. I can post parts for sale to my hearts content on the charger/challenger forums (which I have) no issues and I don't have anywhere near 40 discussions started on any forums. Unfortunately the honest people like me get the short end of the stick I guess :/The waiting is not new at all and has been a rule since the beginning.

In order to increase your post count, you do Not have to start a discussion. All you have to do is post a response in someone else's thread, such as:
Post a welcome message in a new members thread.
Post your thoughts or ideas in a "help needed" thread.
Post your opinion in a "what do you think of this mod" thread.

Working on my 40 also......another one down!
You just passed it.

I moderate another car forum and you would be amazed how many scammers try to pad their post counts to sell fake/stolen/broken items..It takes a village to keep these public free car forums useable.

I have be engaging in posts that pertain to me or I kno something about ! I have 41 post and I still can’t reply in the sale section ! What’s that about ?
Yes because once you have 40 posts you are golden lol.
The best "rule" that the owners/moderators could implement is one that is on LS1GTO. If you are selling an item you must take a picture of the actual item, with a "name card" in the picture that reads your username and the date the ad was placed.
This would cut out a majority of the scamming.

"Include pic of item for sale with your Hellcat.ORG username AND date clearly visible in photo"
reading is hard, huh
No....
Problem is it is NOT enforced. Some do it....most don't.
On the old GTO forum your ad wouldn't last 5 mins if that rule was not adhered to.

Enforced as in, deleted profiles or posts?
I see a rather large amount of for sale posts that get immediately commented on by either mod, or familiar user that reminds the poster of the rules. Also, 95% of the time we can tell when its a scammer, vs a legit sale. Which would you prefer, a deleted post and then repost, or someone just editing one with new pics per the requirement?
GTO forum may have the correct formula, but I for one don't think the amount of time a mod would have to spend on here simply enforcing rules justify the means. Maybe someone can write a bot that immediately flags posts that don't have the proper contents.
Yes sir. The thread would be deleted.
Although I will say, if a thread was posted without the above, a mod would chime in and re-state the rules and if the OP chimed back in and said "sorry I'll get them after work" or something like that they would generally let it fly. But if they were not added in said time frame yes the thread would be deleted.

understandable. Most of the posts in for sale marked "sold" are still up, so I doubt the mods will end up purging or deleting new posts anytime soon.
good points though
