Scamming the System, Part 3, The Final Annoyance

And there we are, that should give me my five posts, and I can now show you the trike I want to sell in the classifieds. Thank you for bearing with me.ThumbUp

Like you I am new to this forum, and to Trikes. I have only been a member and owned my TG for a little over 3 months now. I like and appreciate the maturity and professionalism of this site as it is a wealth of information. But I have to admit....your "Scamming the System" thread #1, 2 and 3 just so you could get your post count up to the required 5 in order to use the Classifieds, is a bit off-putting. It introduces the shadow of doubt that you might be trying to....scam the members?
 
I guess someone who joined in December 2011 only has something to say when they need to sell something, Kind of tacky in my book.
 
Sorry

Sorry everybody, the title was meant as a joke on myself. Even though I haven't contributed much, I figured I was in the group. If the moderator finds it offensive I'm sure they'll take it down. Meanwhile, I didn't mean any harm and I'm sorry to whoever is offended by the tactic.
By the way, no scam. I can prove it to whoever contacts me.
Take care,
Steve

I guess the moderator agreed with you guys, my ad was deleted. Sorry again to have offended you.
Take care,
Steve

Steve,
I see and totally get the self-deprecating humor, but I think what most are asking themselves is why doesn't a talented trike builder like yourself have more to contribute than 4 or 5 "scamming the system" so I can sell my trike posts. I'm sure you have a lot of good knowledge in your head that many here would appreciate. Maybe even a "hey, nice looking trike" post would have been a better choice for hitting your 5. At any rate, jump right in and add to the brain trust, then re-list your trike.
 
Hi Bazooka,
You are absolutely right, that's what I should've done and now of course wish I had. How embarrassing. I hate making a bad impression on anybody, especially trike folk. And thanks for your encouraging tone, it's appreciated. This really is a great site. I was astounded when I first found it, I just haven't spent much time on it (as everyone can tell). I wish you and everybody here the best, and happy triking!

Happy Triking to you too Steve. And sorry if my 'heads up' comment seemed judgmental. We may all be Trikers, but first we are all Human, and far from perfect. Lets see some more pics of your Trikes :D

Hey Steve,
The problem is, with so few posts nobody really knows you and your sense of humor. Now you're starting to sound like you're a cool and multi-talented guy that would fit right in here. That's why sharing more of yourself is helpful in getting to know other members and them getting to know you. So now, forget about the misunderstanding and share your wit and knowledge with us.
