But then again, I am sure there is so much spam...

 

[The4Runner19]

That it needs to have this ridiculous stupid number

 

[The4Runner19]

to keep all the spam out.

 

[The4Runner19]

My question is...

 

[The4Runner19]

why hasn't this been changed?

 

[The4Runner19]

If I was the moderator,

 

[The4Runner19]

I might change the number to...

 

[The4Runner19]

something more reasonable like...

 

[The4Runner19]

5 posts...can a spammer

 

[The4Runner19]

really post more than 5 or so posts?

 

[The4Runner19]

I would think that 5

 

[The4Runner19]

is plenty, and this makes 16 for good measure!

Is it 15 posts until you can start a thread?

I am new here and after 12 years of sports cars only, I have a 4Runner in addition to sportier cars.

Usually, on a car forum, I do an introduction and inquiry post. It introduces myself, my auto background and helps with noob questions that a search and hours of reading may or may not help with.

Is there a ask your (noob) questions here thread?

Is there a ask your (noob) questions here thread?

Not really since people here are nice. If you ask a question that is considered "general knowledge" the people here are cool and will still answer politely. Other forums people will rip you apart, but not here. Any question is a valid question!

Seriously, I can’t find 1 thread, much less 15 threads to say anything in without feeling like I’m “littering” the thread. I literally feel like I’m littering this one. But here I am, number 4.

unfortunately you will find rude people in every forum. Mostly because they are know-it-alls and believe they are above everyone else...I haven't come across that yet in this forum, and I hope I don't!

The 15 posts rule seems a little excessive at first glance, since I have burning questions regarding my (tentative) plans to acquire a 4runner.......but I'm thinking it's just an investment in a place which (if I do decide to go this route), will probably be a steady source of reliable information/guidance/advice for years and years. So I'm okay with it. And there's #1!

Nothing stops you for searching for similar threads and posting your comments and questions there as long as you don't derail the thread
