post count

[joralieu]

Shoot, what happened to my post count? Went from 29 to 7. Guess it is related to my trying to figure out classified.

"If it is determined that a member is trying to "speed post" their way to the 30 post threshold they risk having their post count reset to zero by the Mods."

Just post organically about bicycles, cycling, and all things beloved to our sport.
No need to rush things along. There are plenty of interesting threads to comment.

I admit I was trying to get my post count up to 30 so I could use classified.I have been here since 2020, just don't post much. I normally sell my stuff on eBay but it has not been good for me lately. I just thought I could get more looks on pace line.

You'll get your post count up by sitting down, having a beer with us and join our conversations. A neat, eclectic bunch of folks here who have a wide range of knowledge about many things.

You should try and be insightful and contribute with genuine discussion.

The Paceline is a community that has a classified section for its members.

The community is the reason the forum still exists and hasn't been gobbled up by Facebook groups, Reddit, et al.

Or more bluntly, the forum isn't here for you to advertise for free.

Just start a thread based on an untenable position — you’ll be over 50 posts by the end of the day. Emoji.

Well, kudos for your transparency. Lousy marketing but kinda admirable. Don't run for office

I think he might have already, if unwittingly, done that

It might be what you did on this post.

Hard to consider someone who's been here for 2+ years "Speed posting". My guess is it was the detailed description of what they wanted to sell which seemed to be an attempt to get around the rules. Probably an honest mistake. 30 posts is pretty easy to get to in normal conversation around here.

I agree, come on, can’t even make 30 proper posts? Its not that hard. I personally even think 30 post is too low, should be at least triple that.

[Big Dan]

Most of the people that complain about post count end up leaving after they sell their crap.

[Bruce K]

Yes, the post count was reset.

Speed posting is speed posting but you were pretty open about it

Not hard to get there - just participate appropriately.
