About the time the new forums were deployed I was disallowed from posting in the Swappin' & Sellin' forum. I am a paid contributor which gave me permission to post for a time, but that seems to have disappeared. Any ideas as to why?

I would PM FishHawk and ask...
Anyways, you need 7 posts then it wont matter.
And here's one less!
I did PM fishhawk a couple of days ago without success....
SWAPPING, BUYING, SELLING Rules per 45Nut and forum.
must be a member of 30 days AND have 25 posts. Note in August of 2011 we started requiring both , if a member joined prior to the cut-off you are grandfathered in.
Privileges to post here can be revoked for abusing the above terms. Thanks!
I suggest you PM Ken, 45Nut, if you feel you should have the priviledge.

It's amazing what you can find out by reading the instructions/rules.

Just a system glitch, you still need the minimum required posts and time.
I think FishHawk has been away.
The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
Before you jump up and down and cry foul, there is also a policy somewhere that says that the posting/time requirements are waived for paid contributors. There was a wtb post within the last month from someone who had 1 post and a mod chimed in to explain the waiver. Unfortunately, I can't find the post.Originally Posted by badgeredd
Based on that and the value that I've received already from the site, I made the decision to pay to support the site, and was enabled (at least temporarily) to post in the WTS and WTB sections.
And how come he still has 22 posts after two more posts in this thread?

There is no 'right' that requires me to work for you or you to work for me!
I am the person and me alone in charge of the S&S forum there will be the requirement for 30 days and 25 posts for every one. The whole thing has been a sore topic in staff and the policy stands as it is 30 days 25 relevant posts for every one. End of discussion. steve k swapping and selling moderator
Moderating is a responsibility not a privilege, abuse your power and you lose, no matter how powerful you may think you are.
There you go. How simple is that? Just contribute a few more times and you're gold. It's not like we have to pay for each word we type.

Steve,
You made no mention of the "grandfather" clause. Has it been rescinded?
Bob
I was always taught to respect my elders, but it's getting harder and harder to find any!
Μολὼν λαβέ; approximate Classical Greek pronunciation [molɔ̀ːn labé], Modern Greek [moˈlon laˈve]), meaning "Come and take them" is a classical expression of defiance reportedly by King Leonidas in response to the Persian army's demand that the Spartans surrender their weapons at the Battle of Thermopylae.
The grandfather clause has not been rescinded.

Wow, I don't have grandkids yet. Better talk to my son and his wife.
Proud member in the basket of deplorables.
I've got the itch, but don't got the scratch.
no the grandfather clause is still in effect. This is for all new members those that joined after 8-8-2011

Fishhawk explained via PM the nature of the temporary capability that has since been rescinded.
I can't figure out this post count thing. First he posts with 22 at the beginning and his other posts didn't add to the total. Now he's up to 25 but that is adjusted to all his posts? I guess I've never paid enough attention to mine to notice how it works.

wOw! I've been grandfathered! Saweet!

That look on your face, when you shift into 6th gear, but it's not there.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but I would guess that you had your 30 days or 25 relavent posts long before 8-8-2011.

Ok, I now have 25 posts and 30+days, AND I have contributed to the well-being of the forum, AND I have accepted the mid-stream change of policy. How do I go about getting the restrictions lifted?
