Forum Reserved For Full Members

[Steve Herschbach]

There have been too many people dropping in and posting too many photos of common rocks, a bucket full sometime, and expecting them to get identified. The photos eat up server space and far too often the posters never return. Just post and gone, not even a thank you most of the time. They are not really joining the forum or contributing to help anyone in the way they expect to be helped. In other words, all take, no give.

That being the case effective immediately only Full Members may post on this forum. Just like the Classifieds it is a benefit for Full Members who may need help with rock and mineral identification. You’ve earned it by being a participating forum member. Anyone joining and posting a pile of rocks on some other forum here to circumvent this restriction will at the least have the post deleted and probably get banned. In other words, don’t join the forum just to post here unless you are planning on being a contributing member for some time. Reaching Full Member status requires at least 10 posts spaced over a span of a month or more to be considered legit.

But Steve I only have another 100 rocks to go, I guess I will just have to get a book or something.

You are a full member, so proceed. 

Amazing to me we just had a new member join and since they could not post here, posted a rock in the meet & greet. Either testing me or really bad luck on their part, post deleted and them banned. I honestly can’t get up too much sympathy for people who do not investigate forums a bit before joining.

Some people have too many rocks in their heads! 🤪
