Y'all noticing all these new members with no history......

[sniper22]

no feedback and new member is a no go for me. Been burnt by a new poster. Drove 2 hours to a no show. God back home and learned he sold it to his buddy after we had set up time and place and I was on my way.

Ain't that like punishing the whole school for something 1 person did wrong?

Fair point, but there's also something to be said for playing the odds. Yes, we were all brand new members at one time, but lots of us have experienced a higher-than-average degree of jerkoff-ism, from members with certain feedback/membership profiles, and chose to excersize a higher degree of caution, up to and including, avoiding them entirely.
Personally, I haven't discriminated against anyone with no or minimal feedback ( that I recall), but I don't condemn anyone that does.YMMV.

If you have any good suggestions their is a thread of how to improve things......

Got a good laugh out of that response

.....that are jumping into sale ads, basically saying, "I'll take it, got cash".
I've seem the same guys doing it in multiple ads, with none of the typical questions about age, round count, etc, they just blurt out that they'll take it, cash in hand. The whole thing smacks of something nefarious, like shills buying for cartels or gangs or something.
Just something that's caught my eye recently, wondering if anyone else has noticed.

They're bots that our moderator staff can't control but they can find every negative thing a good upstanding member does wrong... Incredible...

Yep..It ain't 12 yrs ago either.

Yeah we actually had balls back then to go meet a new person.....

You need to raise the flag and report them. MODs will get a closer look into their IP addresses... and take action!!!

No they wont, they're too far up my ass for calling someone an asshole instead of fixing actual problems....

Fair enough.... But 15 years ago there weren't as many ****heads around here and society as a whole was much much better.

I’ve yet to profile anyone based on feedback or membership status. I profile the **** out of people for how they worded their pm’s.

So far, I’ve never been burnt except by a high feedback no-show. New members often times go out of their way to be cool and cooperative
