a Pity this rule is in place.

the problem was that existing users were registering under new names to sell items for some reason and not listing locations or following thru with sales.

Well I think it's a matter of how much this inconvenience matters compared to the amount of new people we'll lose because they don't understand canreef's rules, or find it too "difficult" to join in.

I joined initially for the Buy and Sell forum many years ago, i didn't post to other forums for about 6 months because I didn't feel I had anything educated enough to say, but I did have things I wanted to buy or sell. I didn't want to be flamed for the lack of knowledgable insight. I lurked.

I wouldn't be here today if it was for these rules. I'm sure I'm not alone.

So, one guy did this and we changed the rules?

im not a mod and not privy to the ip's but i don't think this is the first time at all.

There will always be people finding ways to beat the system. Just ask any hacker worth their salt. Unfortunately putting rules in place will only inconvenience those of us that try to follow the rules. The problem lies with the dishonest people.

I would trust som one with posts over 50-100 then 1-20. But you never know who is out there to scam people. Actually I trust more people here then actually any other place. Because it comes down to MORALS. Youhave to live with yourself and your username on this board.

I remember a time that Harvey sent me a kalk Reactor before i even paid him. that is trust. Or any thing its like a big family that you can talk with.

But what really pee's me off are the people that ask questions after questions on things that you have already given them the answer too. people that have 20 + pages on their tank and there is nothing in in or look at my tank look how great it is and not contribute to the board.
IT"S ALL about THEM. Srry I t got me going
any ways im out of here going to bed ......

Im starting to type without error must be getting tired
