...GONG'm...I'm sure this site isn't free to run...
Can a non-member even protest?...

[akcamaro]

my .02 cents is... This site does not have a lot of trafic. I lurk here on an almost daily basis. There is usually 2-8 new adds in each section a day. That is not very much. I don't see what is acomplished by cutting down on the traffic even more.
I don't know the economics of running a website, but I was under the impression that more traffic=more money comeing in to support the site.

again, just MHO.

i think k92 should be banned for blatantly violating the rules, even after being warned the first time.
if you want to protest, or discuss the new rule discuss it in the lounge section.....or better yet, call akcamaro and discuss it with him....

The home page says it all...
'Dedicated to the promotion and Preservation of Cheverolet built SuperCars and COPO cars'
It's not a site 'dedicated to sell your stuff' although people have great stuff listed here.
The new rules seem fair

Me neither... but it's easy to figure out that paid membership contributes more to the cost of running this site than the visitors.


Rob,

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this site and some of its membership assisted in the sale of your LS6. A small $25 donation isn't out of line. It's cheaper than an eBay listing for the car.

Lest you critics forget,I have been a paid member for many years!! I,as well as several others, dont like the attitude of SOME of the people who post here{ members and non-members}. If only I had a dollar for everytime I was at a show and heard how the attitudes of some on this site have rubbed many the wrong way. So,I have an opinion that's different than some here and comments get posted that I should be banned or can I really protest anything because I have not paid $25.00??? This just solidifies my feelings about how the hobby has become to many. I still have yet to hear how anyone was hurt by the old system??? Geez guys,I would not buy anything from a guy w/3 posts,but would not hesitate to do so from the frequent flyers of the site who have established good reputations. If someone does not have the common sense to do make educated purchases then why must the site make up for their bad decisions? I've purchased/bought many things from members of this site with zero problems.

Rob...it's a policy established by the administrators here. I'm sure you're familiar with policy in your job. Grinding on it won't change policy.

peace-out...

More and more people were showing up just to post ads. They never joined in on any discussions etc. Enough people clamored for something to be done and the admins did the two ad limit to address the problem. It was not about making money.

It's a tough call, but completely to the judgment of those that run the site.

I understand if it's just those that are only here to sell cars/parts. But that's not always easy to regulate. Can't really govern it by longevity, maybe by post count? But even that isn't completely logical, as people can run hundreds of posts only in for-sale ads only, as well as there can be people that have been here, without posting much, that aren't using the site strictly for sale ads.

Tough call. On TC, the classified sections are a bit out of hand, but it is a seperate section from the board, so the situation here is different.
