But to the OP, did you get your keyboard for $55 or did you get replacement caps?

If caps what kind?

Is posting about wanting to purchase key sets not allowed in a thread like this? I'm not exactly sure of the rules but I really wanted to get my hands on a set of the rainbow keys even though I'm not sure how I would go about asking the people on this forum for that and as far as I can tell there's some sort of post requirement for me to advertise that I want to buy keys.

You are looking for a left over rainbow set, which is relative to this thread, which I think is 100% fine and appropriate. Looking for something that's relative to the thread is a-ok :thumb:

It's fine, as long as it's relative to the the thread itself. My previous post was more about how TheeCOoon may have come off as looking for something that this thread was not selling (he was looking for something that CAN be engraved or blank, which this thread wasn't selling). Situations like this can come off as a person being lazy and just trying to circumvent the rules (which in this case, it almost seemed like the post count limit for classifieds) or just ignored/didn't read previous posts made in the thread. TheeCOoon's post was kind of ambiguous so I MAY have misunderstood (I'm not too sure). Either way, I thought I came off too harsh so I was going to post a link to a set, but do_Og@n posted the link before me so I came out looking like Hitler :P I did not mean to sound mean, if I did :)

OH my bad sorry I never new there were rules to the threads. How many post do i need to get into classified?

There's your answer to the spam.

Well there seem to be more and more lately that clearly are only here to get 60 posts and as soon as they do put things up for sale.

Well I came here with those exact intentions. I wanted to sell something. But now after posting and lurking around it's evident that this is the best forum for mechanical keyboards with an active community. That doesn't mean I won't be posting some boards for sale once I hit the 60 mark, but it also doesn't mean I'll be leaving this community after they are sold :D GH is awesome.

LOL I waited until I had 5000 posts before posting my first classified thread - a WTS that was quickly fulfilled.

I'll go back into my little corner now.

I have no problem with people joining just to post in the classifieds but I do have a problem with users posting 20 comments a day so they can hit the post limit quicker.

What if they post 20 comments a day even after?

20 quality posts a day? No problem. I find that hard to believe though, even the most active members here usually only average like 10.
