I see a lot of firearms advertised for sale in this Hunting and Sporting Arms section.

Is this practice now allowed in addition to the equipment exchange sections?

To be fair. I had to really dig around this forum to find the requirements for EE access.

Nothing in the forum rules, nothing in the EE section, was a sticky in the introduction.

I dont agree with having to buy to gain feedback in order to sell.

I don't think the process requires you to.buy anything , you just have a certain number of posts then get approved , isn't it?

I applaud and support the administration and moderators with this decision.

I'm not sure it's the right process or not but I certainly appreciate the efforts to keep the EE as safe as they can.

Admittedly I have no input to make the EE access quick and easy while keeping it a safe place to buy, sell, trade.

It's also somthing I believe the site wants to distance itself with for understandable liability issues.

Quite frankly I will not send money to a new member unless I'm prepared to lose it.

Feedback for a "newbie" is fairly easy to get.
Buying a couple of bases, rings, sling, specifically to get feedback, then resell those same items for the cost of shipping or dirt cheap so they will sell guaranteed fast.

A person could get 5 positive feedbacks in a week for spending $100.

A cheap investment to get EE access.

Now the member is free to list $800 scopes and $1500 rifles.

I think feedback that is left should have a box for "Deal Value $$$" so what I mentioned above can be public knowledge, showing all 5 deals are for $20 items

You dont need to buy anything to get access to the EE, but you need to buy to get feedback to post for sale.

Level 2:
Permission to create and post ad: the member must have already obtained a positive trading feedback from an existing member and have a minimum activities of 45 days in the forum.

I kind of figured it wasn’t okay to be posting for sale ads in these areas.

The troll numbers on Gunnutz appears to be getting worse though….:(

I’m guessing it’s difficult to control and weed out these people.

It's unfortunate, this site is a great resource and there is quite a few members who are knowledgeable and I take their advice without hesitation.
It's actually quite remarkable how knowledgeable some are.

I've often thought it would be nice to meet a few of the members and a couple of mods I respect

I've met the board owner "Greentips" in a church banquet hall at a gunshot in Mississauga, ON

On the other hand there is a certain element that's always promoting themselves as the best especially distance, caliber hunting posts.
There the guys that can take a deer at 200 yards with a paper clip launched from a rubber band then the real crowd that knows what they are doing and have respectful thoughtful posts.

I don't post as much as I used to, I used to post simple questions and controversial viewpoints just to stimulate conversation.
10/10 times I knew the answer and the viewpoints were made up.

That new NOWAY member actually has a valid point about anger, people lose their cool 5 posts into a thread.
