How many posts to post in the pro shop

I'm only taking the piss, I know he is all professional now.

He was a boss, so he was above the commonfolk there.

So his desk wasn't a conveyor belt??

A pile of milk crates is considered a fine desk in many third world countries.

Milk crates make awesome couches as well.

I've been on here for around 2 months if that and would have been lucky to make 10 posts in that time. I log in every day for a read if jot more. Today I logged in to post a TM SLDR 4 hybrid for sale and couldn't do so for the above reasons. I'm not keen on eBay fees as I takes the sale not worth the hassle - however I have no chance of making the required specs to post the sale.

'Things that piss me off' thread and you'll get there easily.

1 post for the pro-shop restrictions, 1 post for the ebay fees and 1 post for 'jot' not being found by auto-correct.

As a long time reader of this site, there seems to be so many little complaints about the posting rules and then there seem to be a whole lot of gatekeepers that maybe want to be moderators so they stick their chests out. Maybe it's an Alpha Male thing. I think it's cute that you boys have your own little cliques.

So you are saying, that for personal gain (in avoiding ebay fees), you want to try and sell your gear to a group of guys on a community forum that you don't want to interact with?

Call me a little insensitive maybe, but it's really hard to give a sh*t about your predicament.

No Alpha Males here. Just 300m driving, cigar smoking, eagle shooting pornstars.

Here's a meme.

I don't really have a clique though. Want to start one? Tell us a little about yourself Juan.

[markTHEblake]

Juan is right though. Too many shout down the new guys too often. Give them a break.

It comes under Zero Idiot Tolerance.

They claim that they are frequent and long time readers, who after reading about half a dozen others that didn't reach 40 posts in 40 days, can't comprehend why it is happening to them.

Agreed.

40 posts is nothing. If you can't contribute to the small level of 40 posts in order to use the site, it's probably not the place for you to buy and sell.

The pro shop is the home of quite a large number of good deals, which is why it is attractive to many. For it to work as it should, gear that is bought in the pro shop, should then be offered for sale in the pro shop before it is sold elsewhere. It keeps the cycle of cheap gear going.

If Joe Blow from off the street uses the pro shop as a buy and sell, this cycle is broken and the entire model breaks down. The 40/40 parameters are not much, but is does help prevent guys from swooping on a good deal and disappearing.

[mrbluu]

Doesn't your answer to Dotty contridicts your answer to Blakey??

To clarify, new guys in general can get treated harshly. I wasn't just referring to those trying to buy in the pro shop.

Gotcha

[benno_r]

Only the guys who make it clear they are only interested in being here for the pro shop. We have seen 2 prime examples here in the last few weeks.

Example: Juan is getting on board the board and participating, I don't see anyone one shouting him down.

Him?

[benno_r]

Him?

GDay Juan, if disagreeing with your post about Alpha Males, posting an irrelevant meme and asking you a bit about yourself is "shouting you down", well, umm, yeah.

Sorry champ, try re reading the post again. I never said anything similar to what your conveying.
All I'm Saying is that the requirements are difficult to reach for the average poster.
J didn't join the forum to post off topic junk, but rather a place to get helpful info. tips and advice on my game. It would be a bonus to sell a club I have no use for and could help someone on here gain something too.

You must do a lot of reading to know that Benno is the ex NSW champ and current Qld champ.

I actually thought you said exactly that.

There are tonnes of different topics in here that you can make comments and contribute.

There are different sporting threads, equipment thread, you can even create one to introduce yourself or add to something like this http://www.ozgolf.net/showthread.php...e-a-backstory?

[driftn69]

Lol. Wow, It's like trying to get a point through to a brick wall.

Ok let's try it this way...

Let's say like most people, I am part of numerous forums. Sporting, shaving, golf, computing, whirlpool etc. If I was to contribute like I need to here in all of them. It would be my full time job.
