Ain't that the truth! We get those idiots joining who link their callgirls.
Imagine if they flooded their first posts with loads of photos!

That being said we normally tolerate plenty of this sort of thing especially from new members but you're really off to the races so......

Instead it seems like yall would rather newbies stay on more relevant platforms
Although I don't know the history of it with this forum, specifically, these kinds of rules are generally put in place to address issues that have occurred in the past. Most likely, it's related to spam posters.

Newbies are great. Newbies who start of with complaints about the way a forum is operated aren't so great. That said, not all forums are for everyone. Good luck.

Regardless of the fact that the very first post was a complaint - welcome! If the bike in question is a Huffy, then DOUBLE WELCOME!!!!

Gotta keep this thread around as an example of exactly why that rule exists. On the other hand, mods deleting it because it's not related to vintage bikes in any way would also be funny.

Well SparatanSaint75, welcome to the forum. When I came here, or any forum for that matter, I surely don't go looking for, or expect a welcome wagon as I already know I belong wherever I am. It's like going out for a ride and expecting all the drivers to wave and smile at me, hah hah. Or expecting the weather to comply with every fleeting whimsical "command". "How's that working out Garth ? Me : "it isn't at all "! Hah !!! It's good for a laugh to step outside of the mask of personality and just be yourself without any "story", which is akin to a hot potato. Hold onto to it and I get burned, let it go and it's just another potato that comes and goes. What I may demand of another, be that first myself, regardless of the another.

...I kind of wish they'd get rid of that ten post until pictures rule, too.
I want to see pictures in the regular barrage of Dubai call girls threads.

What's the point of advertising call girl services without pictures ? It makes no sense.

Spartan,

One chief reason we have a 10 post limit with five per day is to discourage spammers. Over the last few weeks the site has been hit with a barrage of spam. Fortunately the limit keeps clean up reasonable.

With that, enough dialogue has gone on. That’s our rules. Once you get to ten you can post pictures too.
