Default Hey IzzoQuazzo (Moderator)

You just sent me the a PM that said...

"You are required to have 5 posts and be a member for 30 days before you can post an ad on HD Forums. You don't meet either requirement. Also ads are only allowed in the Classified sections. Your want ad has been removed."

What is the purpose of having to wait 30 days and have 5 posts? And your PM...I don't even have the ability to reply to it. WTF... I made a couple posts today based on an item I am looking for which is a Harley XM module 76404-06. What exactly is the issue with that?

At this point this forum is worthless....

Every forum that I've ever been on has guidelines set forth by the owners. The Moderators are just here to make sure that the members try and follow those guidelines. If you feel that this forum is worthless, than nobody is forcing you to stay. Also, if you choose to be patient and follow the guidelines, you'll find that there is a wealth of knowledge here to learn from. It's your choice.

The waiting period is to stop spam bots. And all ads belong in the Classified section, only. If you feel these rules are too stringent, then it's your choice to what you want to do next.

As for PMs...it's 5 posts and 5 full days before you can make them. These rules are what you agreed to when you joined.

It seems the posts you made today were pulled. Read Rule 6.

Yup, read the rules, abide by them, or leave. Those are your choices. I am not going to try to explain them to anyone.
