Helpful Quoted Info For New Members

Welcome to the new members, we are genuinely happy to have you with us and hope you will want to participate. If you are reading this and haven't posted yet, please post in Introductions and we will try to get this thread back on track to its original intention which is to post helpful tips for new members.

I'll start with look for the contact info for each vendor at the beginning of their thread. Most of the websites are outdated or no longer in existence at all so email is how to make contact in these cases. All information is kept up to date so don't worry if the contact email was posted years ago. It just means that vendor has used the same info all that time. 

 
I actually joined a few days ago and I'm liking it here already. Hello everyone!

 
Just wanted to mention posting etiquette real quick.

On vendor threads we ask that you post only reviews of orders received or questions about the vendor. 

We don't need to know you emailed the vendor or just placed an order and will update us when it lands. When vendor threads go off topic it's harder to find the information we are looking for which is how is this vendor doing.

When done right it really works well and nobody has to read through pages of "stuff" to find the reviews. 

Thanks! 

 
Hello everyone.

I've been on this site for about a month now and am just getting around to introducing myself. Guess I was to wrapped up in all the interesting posts.

Look forward to getting to know you and share any knowledge I may have with this community

Hello and welcome to all new members. 

For the next ones to find this thread we have an actual "Introductions" thread. This one was intended to be for advice for new members and has gone a bit off track.

So I should at least add some advice. 

Yes, we encourage reading. You may end up learning things you didn't realize you need to know. It's also better to ask questions if you are not familiar with payment methods or how to write to a vendor. It could save you a headache so if you are a sponsor feel free to pm me or if not you can put an @ in front of the member you want to notify and post your question in an introduction or a section that your question pertains to.

Oh yeah, please read the forum rules too.

Hello and welcome new members.

Here's a helpful tip for newbie, or anyone who is impatient. 

We recently had a vendor leave our forum because our members are batshit crazy. Apparently one person sent 20 emails in one day!

Since we hold our vendors accountable I think it's reasonable to also hold our members accountable. Please be courteous and don't flood busy vendors who already have to reply to many emails with unnecessary correspondence. You may not hear back immediately. They cannot be available 24/7. They will get back to you when they can or maybe your order will just show up.

We do not force them to sell to anyone they do not wish to so be the kind of customer they're happy to hear from and things will work much better for everyone. 

I know most people would never harass anyone like this but sadly we must have a few that don't know how to act. We sure don't want to lose more good vendors!

 
New member here. Curious, how long to content moderations last? I sent a message but never heard back. So just curious if its permanent. If so, OK. But just wanting to know.

Thanks

@Azzamean  It varies depending on why the person's content was moderated in the first place.   If a member continues to follow the rules and post relevant content in the appropriate thread then their content moderation will likely be lifted soon.  People who regularly break rules or who regularly post irrelevant or incoherent content (this is specifically referring to vendor threads) might have a harder time getting it lifted.  I would suggest to anyone under content moderation to give it a while and then reach out to a mod or admin and asking if it can be lifted seeing as you have been doing well with your posting behavior.  Hope this helps. 

 
@Azzameanif you started out with it then it has to do with how you registered. In that case it won't be permanent. Just carry on and after some time you can request it be removed. 

 
Hi everyone - I’m new here and wanted to say hi. Hope to know some of you soon. And mods - mybad, I may have already made a questionable comment. I’ll be more conscientious.

  1. P @ psychedpsych: Have good day people, and I hate texting messages lol
  2. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 lol I am actually surprised it is a real ID. I needed those documents because my license had been expired for over a year and I had to start all over. Nothing was in the system. It was a huge mess. I had no clue I was signing up for Real ID. They asked me for the exact same documents that I needed for a State ID Card.
  3. S @ soupson: bless your heart buddy. no sense of grammar or proper insults/jokes. you need this place in ways i can’t comprehend
  4. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Sweet Ol' Me asked about Real ID, Stoup. Are you responsive to emails ? LMAO
  5. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I smell some Stoup. Is Stoup's on ?
  6. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda You win. I am lost. Thought you were surprised your license was a Real ID, now you say you provided those items.
  7. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda I was under the impression that you'd need all of the points to get a real ID . I'd check it's validity if you're gonna fly domestic any time soon, just to make sure. Not to tell you what to do, sorry -
  8. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 In my state to get a Real ID, I need SS card, Birth Certificate and two proofs of residency. Which I am positive I had to provide to get a new ID when it had been expired.
  9. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  10. B @ bigblueallda: I haven't flown in an airplane in 20 years lol. Can't recall the last government building I have been in either. According to the symbol it tells me I should have on my ID to make it a Real ID I do have one in my state
  11. Gracie5 @ Gracie5: Hey @CuCeltic99!
  12. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  13. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?
  14. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?
  15. S @ soupson: did anyone ask about real id or is sweet ol jimmy just rambling
  16. T @ Turbo259: @drjimmy1964 what did you mean by advertise? not gettin the verbiage, DM works if anything, just didnt understand
  17. B @ bigblueallda: {Visit your local Driver Service Bureau with the necessary documents: original birth certificate, Social Security card, and two proofs of your state's residency. } I definitely provided this when I had to get a new ID when i let mine go expired too long maybe I unknowingly got one but I think it is pretty standard here.
  18. B @ bigblueallda: Well it was a state id renewal. Before that there was a mixup and I had lost my birth certficate and social security number. After a couple of weeks and finally getting several documents in order I was able to get a state ID. It had been expired previously for a little too long and they wanted all kinds of proof. It was a mess. But nah I looked up what to look for an my state's ID to see if it is a Real Id or not and my card as the symbol it is supposed to have. I'll take a closer look though
  19. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?
  20. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Actually it says "Not For Real ID Purposes". That is my 2022 renewal of my 2018 picture ID. I am not due till 2026 and I am sure they will make me go in since my pic would be 8 years old - they used to make you go in in my state for aging when I was younger, then went paper - then back to picture ( I think 9/11 to blame for that ) but relaxed it.
