50 posts to send PM

Troy_Phillips · 11-23-2009, 09:19 AM

I have sent a total of 11 pm's since I have been on here ( I have replied back to a lot more)

Out of the eleven .... most were to let someone know their sig file link was dead..... One was to a directory owner on here because I needed to know one more thing before I purchased ( he replied ... I am now a member of his directory ) another was to a warrior that I felt was really trying to help themselves but just didn't have the money to go forward .

I offered them free help.... they took it and I made a new friend who will also be a new jv partner soon.

The point I am trying to make here is .... if you will give every chance you get ... good things will come back.

I'm sorry but if you can't either show you have something to contribute or that you are truly interested in learning true 101 marketing strategies in 50 post then why should the admin drop the required post ?

Really wonder what the intention of someone is when they bitch about not being able to pm in their first few post .

How much does it cost to be a member, I had trouble finding that info. Thanks

Before you log into the forum, there is a little red triangle in the bottom corner of your browser. Just click it.

War Room is 37 bucks.

Alternatively, you can just click on the link in my sig that says "war room uncut" and you can watch a nice little video and get a link to a payment button.

50 isn't so high, im sure if you want to contact people bad enough, you could always find alternative roots.

Mental. Only just found this restriction. I haven't been on the site for a couple of months, but have previously sent PMs without any issues. Seems a bit daft that I had the right and it's now been revoked, but at least now I know it's not personal! Guess I'll just have to post loads of pointless comments just to get my post count up to the required level...

Oh yeah - and when I just found the restriction I was trying to reply to a PM that somebody else had sent me. That just seems crazy....

Kelsey A. Helm · 11-23-2009, 11:22 PM

Ha ha - I agree Rob - and so you know you've made 18 posts

You are joking, right?

I have spent time in a lot of other marketing forums and this one seems more geared to monetizing their userbase. With traffic in the hundreds of thousands it would seem to me that this is more than just covering costs as you explain.
You may not like my opinion, but I would not be surprised if a large percentage of new users also felt the same way.

Unfortunately, the only way to get through to people to respect this place is via the wallet.

If you got better ideas, let's hear them.

Don't think so, Floyd -- he's been banned (yet again, apparently).

I am new to this forum, but why do they require you to have 50 post?

Did you read the entire thread? That should answer most of your questions.

Welcome to the forum Lawrence.

50 posts may seem restrictive, but for anyone whose intention is to become an active member of a vibrant community it's really nothing. I'm sure you have some skills or expertise that you can bring to the forum, and no doubt you have questions as well. As a new member you may still be exploring the forum, and in the time it takes to join in a few threads and exchange ideas you'll reach that minimum before you know it.

The restriction is a good thing, it prevents abuse of the forum by those whose only intention is to send unsolicited marketing attempts (i.e. SPAM) to members without contributing anything of value.

Ask questions, engage in conversations, thank other members where appropriate and demonstrate your expertise by sharing information with others. That's what this community is about, and if that is your intention then you'll find that you are most welcome here.

This next comment is by no means directed at you (with only a single post how could it be?!) - I'm finding these complaints about the post restrictions to be quite juvenile. This forum is a resource that many of us (myself included) value greatly. It costs money to host and takes time and effort to run and maintain. Some of the information you'll gain from here could very well start you on a road of wealth and prosperity. Rather than complain about a minimum post count new members should be grateful for the unique opportunity that the Warrior Forum offers them.

Again, welcome to the forum - we all look forward to your contributions.

Good riddance. If these guys knew how much I had to pay just to get in the door, they would be thanking their lucky stars it's so cheap today.

Thank you Floyd!

I stated in another post that when I joined
which was about the same time as you, the
only way I got access was by buying
hosting through Host4Profit.

And back then it was a steal at $300 a year!

Once the forum got opened to anybody and
everybody, the quality dropped in a hurry.

That's when most of the whiners and complainers
started pouring in in droves.

The majority of the crowd that was here when I
joined has long since moved on. I guess Paul Myers
and Willie Crawford are about the only ones left that
were here when I registered that still check in on a
regular basis.

Paul Myers · 11-24-2009, 06:18 AM

Michael,

Nah. Bryan Kumar and Kenneth Tang were here before I joined. They're still around, as are a whole bunch of other folks from the pre-H4P daze. I could probably list a dozen or two without much brain sweat, but I'd almost certainly forget another dozen or two I'd feel bad about leaving out...

I don't think the quality of information has dropped at all. It's just more spread out, and it's easier to notice the idiots, since there are so many more of them.

There are things that aren't as good, and there are things that are way beyond what we used to have. All in all, I'd say the place is better than it's ever been.

Paul
