question about the 50 post rule

I was there also... It really isnt as bad as it seems and doesnt take long.

 

You'll be at 50 pretty quick if you just wander in on threads.most peoples questions can often insipre you to ask a question.could probably get there in afew days pretty easily

 

We don't bite. ;D

 

Mostly

 

Isn't there something in there that says you have to be a member for a month? I still can't access the marketplace and I'm at like 80+ posts

 

Yes, you have to be a member for 30 days and have 50 posts.

 

BTW.....we do understand that this seems like a burden to new members.

However, it truly solves a WHOLE LOT OF PROBLEMS for the members of 3Reef. There were sellers copying and pasting tear-downs of their entire systems and posting it on every forum on the internet. Sellers were then finding the highest offer on things on each and every forum and then ignoring anyone else who truly thought they were going to be receiving that item. Some were not even hobbyists. They just bought things, marked them up, and sold them as a business. There were also sellers with less than honorable intentions.

I really could go on and on. I just want you to know, we did set up these rules for a reason. They are not random and involved a LOT of discussion.
