Unsure other than viewing your own profile tells you how many posts? I wondered as well if you can post a wanted within 30 days too?
If it’s the 67 messages, how do I go about getting it removed?
I don’t think you can post anything until the 30days/30posts, maybe admin can clarify?

You don't need anything removing. You've posted more than 30 messages and been a member for more than 30 days. Go to classifieds and post.

I suppose not. I understand the need for rules and agree they should be in place. What I fail understand is reasoning of moving goalposts. One of the greatest benefits to your more active members is to have access to second hand firearms and equipment especially during these difficult times when a lot of people are struggling but still trying to keep going the activity they enjoy doing.You aren't making it easy to trust you, are you?
I am maybe missing something.

It is starting to look as though your primary reason for being here is to flog stuff. That's not what this forum's about. It's a community where people contribute their knowledge and experience of stalking and hunting in order to improve our collective performance (and have a bit of fun along the way). The sales section is incidental to the forum, and (smart) people tend only to buy from those they know and trust.
@csl didn't move the goalposts. You tried to game the system and he caught you. The rules require 'meaningful' posts. Smashing a bunch out in a day or so just because you want to flog something makes them a lot less meaningful.
If I were you, I'd sell your stuff on Guntrader or Ebay instead, and throw yourself into participating properly in this forum. It's a great place where you will learn (and hopefully teach) a lot.
Kind regards,
Carl
How am Itrying to play the system? I did not make 30 posts rule???
Show me one of my posts that was not meaningfull? You don't even know what I posted so how can you comment if they are meaningfull or not?
I am well aware of where I can sell my stuff but was not the point of comments. If you make the rules stick to them. If you think they are no longer sufficient then change them.
I am not particularly bothered to be honest. This is one of those situations where you think you are trying to help but it gets thrown back at you.

There has been no movement of any goalposts or changing of rules on this site to my knowledge.
Any NEW member joining this site has to have been a member for 30 days and have 30 reasonable posts before using classifieds. Which I might add we do not charge for. These rules have been in place for a few years now, and are there to stop people just using the site to sell items, or for businesses to just join and take advantage of our site. A site which we bought and have put money and time into over the years.
As CarlW pointed out in his post, the classified section of the site is here to help folk, it is not the reason why we bought and rebuilt this site over 15 years. I purchased it to help other stalkers out and for it to be a useful resource for them. Classifieds is just an off section to this, a section that seems to be abused at times by some people. This comment is not aimed at you. But we do get people with businesses trying to take advantage of the section and thinking they can just advertise. We take a dim view of this and if trade membership is not paid for, they are banned.
If you have 30 constructive posts and have been a member for 30 days you have free access to the classified section as a member of the site. But please be mindful that you have a limited amount of posts you can put up for sale. If it appears that anyone is selling continuously we will expect Trade membership.
Thank you
