Default 10 Post Rule

I just joined the group. I would like to post in the classifieds. However, I'm required to have 10 posts before I'm eligible. 9 more to go unless there is a way around this requirement?

Don’t generally do much posting, but good idea.

The 10 post rule is to keep out the scammers.

The completely generic posts that scammers do to reach 10 get reported to admins, and accounts get closed.

So you need to make 10 posts that actually contribute to the site, and in that way show that you know something about offshore powerboats and hence may actually own what you are offering in the classifieds.

The classifieds is a completely different sign in than OSO, two separate systems, you can use your same handle as here but requires a different password, I didnt think the 10 post rule applied there but maybe they changed things...........maybe Griff will see this

Huh, I did not realize that. Good to know and makes sense

I have followed this site for years. Never joined because I have only owned smaller drag boats. I now own a 25’ Talon, small comparatively to most in this group, but similarly driven. I have some very high dollar parts that may be desired by someone in this group and wanted to offer them. I’m not sure on the classified and OSO being different passwords. I tried to list through the OSO classified section and was denied for not having 10 posts.

Are you talking about the Classifieds or the Swap Shop??
I don't know of any 10 post requirement for listing in the Swap Shop. You do need 10 posts to post pics or to send PM's
The paid Classifieds are separate from the Forums and require you to create a different account using your email address. There is no post requirement
