50 posts to send PM

haha Isn't it nice not to have to worry about that here!?

Damn, dude, 50 posts, waah wahhh:confused: That's not that much. This forum is full of people bringing 6, 7, and 8+ figures a year. You're among some brilliant minds. It wouldn't hurt to join the conversations, contribute and just build up a reputation here. If you start PMing people and they haven't seen much of you in the forum they won't even respond.

Best of luck.

If you don't want to wait then join the War Room.

You're already up to 13 as of my reading, just keep looking around and participating in threads. It won't take you long to get to 50.

So why do YOU care if 50 is SO low ALREADY!?!?!? The reason it isn't 10 or 15 is because THEN someone would just make 10 or 15 posts, and then PM. 50 is HARDER. Maybe THAT is why the duplicate post lock, wait, etc... were put in.

lolx

i like your answer

i having the same situation.
and it not allow me to post any more message

and message box only allow 10 message
is that any VIP member?

Spammers are reported with the little emergency button on the left. Members are the moderators.

Valid new members are always welcome and supported. What do you expect? A red carpet and a parade?

If you make a purchase in the WSO area, that is your business. Just as if you purchased a clickbank product. If you were unhappy, you would contact the seller and deal with them privately. If the seller has really not provided any additional way for you to contact them, then perhaps you should not purchase the WSO.

Perhaps other forums are more lax because they are not as lucrative and popular.

The rules in place are to protect the members and community.

You can be assured that if they are posting one liners to boost their post count those posts won't be sticking around very long and they'll be back where they started.

It's pretty simple, really. If you don't want to spend a very small amount of money to be a part of this community, then don't. Deal with the restrictions that are in place.

If you're not happy with either option, you don't have to be. No one is forcing you to be here.

Good. That allows us to more easily remove the people who dont belong.

Use email. There isnt a reason you *need* PMs.

wah. wah. wah. Then go to them.

Jazbo -- I love that Spam song!!

good start toward your 50



~M~

LOL. What no one knows is that when you reach 50 posts and are able to pm people the world becomes a better place...

The sun is always shining, money starts pouring into multiple paypal accounts,world peace is achieved, unicorns are able to roam free, and of course Lindsey Lohan stops using drugs ...

Because we all know once you are able to send and receive pm's here on the WF, big name marketers are chomping at the bit to email you and offer you an exclusive JV partnership that will make you gazillions of dollars.

Damn that pesky pm rule. If only.

broker12, the fact that this thread is still alive is evidence that your opinion is being heard. Along with several people who do not agree with you. Whether or not these opinions influence the operations of the forum is up to the forum owner. Sometimes they do. Sometimes they don't.

It's kind of like those "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service" signs you see on stores and restaurants. Them's the rules, so if you want to go inside, you slip on a shirt and some shoes...

By the way, did you notice you're already over halfway to your 50?

You don't see the contradiction in your post? You don't like the feedback system here? The members above would advise you to stop whining, and love it or leave the forum.

And what's wrong with a site owner being authoritarian on his own site?
(Didn't you read a few posts above that this is NOT a democracy...? And it shouldn't be - if you ask me)

1. Define "open forum"
2. Your opinion has been heard.
3. If it was mine forum - nobody's opinion would influence its operation. I guess Allen thinks the same (although I've never spoken to him)

Not a good start criticizing the owner how he runs his forum.
Actually, the question has been raised several times just in the year since I am a member, and has always been rejected.
Threads "giving advice" how to run the forum, usually get deleted by the mods...

If it was a WSO - contact the helpdesk.

Forget itraders, it won't be used - we were told.
Spammers are persistent, be happy that nobody perceived you as one

BTW, we don't chat - we try to educate you... but you are stubborn

Is your name Dennis?

As a newer member, I couldn't disagree more with this statement. The amount of highly valuable information and guidance available on this forum for FREE is unparalleled.

The "let's give back to the community" attitude of many of the senior members and most successful marketers is what makes the Warrior Forum a misnomer -- it should be called the Warrior Community because that's exactly what it is. Being a member is a privilege.

Seriously???? I've had to file so many paypal disputes with users on an unnamed forum that uses itrader, for taking my money and not providing anything in return. I've never had to file one with a Warrior! itrader is a joke.

This was a question which I was going to ask too. The people to are telling this guy to go somewhere else are not being fair. His/her opinion is 10-15 and the admin is 50. We know which one matters anyway. Let us not be so rude. As you can see I am one of the affected but it is good to know the reason behind it. SPAM.
So I keep posting.....

Almost 3 years ago, a friend of mine from another forum where I was a
moderator said to me, "Hey Steve, I know you like it here, but you really
should go on over to the Warrior Forum. They've got some really great
people over there and I think you could contribute a lot."

I had never even heard of the Warrior Forum until that day. There I was,
almost 4 years marketing online and didn't even know this place existed.

Gives you an idea of what a small world I lived in.

Well, my first day I decided I was going to contribute...a lot. I went through
as many threads as I could where people had questions and answered them.
And I'm not talking about a couple of sentence answers either. I'm talking
some long ass winded posts.

I made 80 of them that day.

I was almost run out of here on a rail.

Why am I telling you this story?

You may think that 50 posts is a lot. It's not. Any wing ding with way too
much time on his hands (like me) can make 50 posts.

But please take my advice as somewhere who has been there, done that,
paid the price for it, and learned a painful lesson the hard way.

DON'T MAKE THEM ALL IN ONE DAY!

There are a lot of people here whose respect I could have earned but I
blew it on that very first day. It won't matter if I'm a member here for
20 years. Once you screw up, it lives with your forever.

I am telling you this as a friend. Obey the rules, deal with them, and
become a respected and valuable member of this community. If you do
that, you will find that there will be a lot of people here who would sooner
do business with you than me.

With my 13,000 plus posts.

Posts are nothing. They are meaningless. But a spammer won't take the
time to make them. They're just interested in making a quick score and
getting out of Dodge. Thus, the post requirements, as well as other things
here, are put into place.

You may not like it. But the rules are there to keep this forum from turning
into Digital Point and all the other forums out there that aren't worth
going to anymore.

One day, you'll thank me for this post.

Maybe not today or tomorrow...but someday.

When you kept from making the same stupid ass mistakes that I made.

Welcome to the Warrior Forum.

You're not even being reasonable. Why don't you take a break, step back, maybe sleep on it, and then come back. I think you'll see that you're being silly.

You may have gotten off on the wrong foot here, but it's not too late to turn that around. It's a forgiving and reasonable bunch of people here.

Well, once this thread is retired to the graveyard and the posts you have made here evaporate don't start a new thread complaining you just lost a bunch of posts.

None of those post were about internet marketing, they were about the internal politics of this forum.

My guess is the only reason this thread lasted as long as it has is the inevitable cropping up of other threads on this topic if this one weren't here. That's a short term situation at best.

KJ

Agreed.

I've only been here for a short time and the knowledge of this place is completely overwhelming. I've kept a membership to the original site that got me into IM and the forum there is nowhere near what it is here. Even all of the tutorials and guides they offer don't compare to information you can get from this place.

There's so much experience here, people that not only talk the talk but walk the walk, and there willing to take time to give out information that others marketers are paying top dollar for.

Now, that's funny!

You are a party pooper!

You never miss a beat Allen!

You know, I thought he was beating the dead horse a little too long to be a "real" person! I fail to understand how anyone with half a brain cell thinks they can game the system without getting called out eventually, and in this case, sooner rather than later. Good going, Allen.

I've been reading this thread since it started - what a great conclusion!

Allen, you have a wicked sense of humor!

Karen

Damn you Allen - I'm laid up with a fluey/cold and that just gave me a serious coughing and spluttering fit. That's the funniest thing I've read for ages. I see you cracked and banned him after 35. The show's over guys. Ah well.

I wish I had read this before I had replied to that idiot trying to get him
to be a valuable member of this community.

To the OP...please disregard my previous post. It was obviously meant
for somebody who doesn't drag his arms on the floor and eats bananas
all day long.

Boy, now don't I feel like a dope.

And that's another thing. Why would you even have to PM somebody? In
the 3 years I've been here, aside from answering the insane number of PMs
I get, I may have initiated 3 PMs in 3 years.

I mean what's so darn important that you have to PM another person?

If it's about a WSO, post the question in the thread itself.

Other than that, if you want to nag somebody about a JV, how about
doing some research on the person, finding their email address and
write to them personally?

Hell, if they took the PM function out of this forum, I wouldn't even care.

Strike that...I'd jump for joy.

Yes I do agree it keeps the spammers out!! However I am a newbie and I really dont have much to offer in the way of advice, strategies, or WSO. I basically am on here reading, learning, and bought a few WSO's. It would be nice to PM the once in a while for just a question. So not sure how I will get my 50 posts ? How much does it cost to be a member, I had trouble finding that info. Thanks

You are joking, right?

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.

Bill
