Anything ‘published’ on the web is viewed as intellectual property and, regardless of whether it displays a copyright symbol or not, is therefore copyrighted by the originator. The only exception to this is if there is a “free and unrestricted reuse” statement associated with the work.
In order to protect our members and TFL from possible litigation, all members must abide by the following new rules:
1. Copying and pasting entire articles from another site to TFL is strictly prohibited. The same applies to articles from print or other media, and to posting photographs taken of copyrighted pages or other media.
2. Copyright law provides for “fair use” of portions of a copyrighted work. You can copy no more than a SINGLE paragraph from the article to your post (3 or 4 sentences at most).
3. You must provide a link to the article along with the name of website. For example: ww.xxx.yyy/zzz (The Lower Thumbsuck Daily News).
4. You must provide, in your own words, a brief summary of the article AND your reasons for believing it will be of interest to TFL members. Failure to do so may result in the thread being closed or your post being deleted as a “cut and paste drive by.”
5. Photographs and other images are also copyrighted. "Hotlinking" of images (so that it appears in your message) from other sites is also prohibited unless you own rights to the image. If you wish to share an image, provide a clickable link to it.
Posts that do not follow these new guidelines will be altered or deleted by staff. Members who continue to violate this policy may lose their posting privileges at TFL.
Thank you for your cooperation and your participation in TFL, the leading online forum for firearms enthusiasts.

What constitutes an active member and how many posts do you need to post a firearm for sale ?
Your questions are all answered in the Gun Show rules threads at the top of each of those forums. For example: http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=436104
If you've been reading / lurking for 6 years, you shouldn't have a problem expressing your meaningful opinion on 5-10 posts a day for the next few days. As such, you could post your gun by Memorial Day.
Like Glocks? 100's of threads to participate in.
Know Sig's are a gift from above, search then discuss Sig P226's.
Into mouse guns or C&R, you can find lots of opinions here you can argue with.
Want to hear a lawyer's learned opinion on firearms legal twists, search out Frank Ettin, and challenge him on a particular view (you'll lose
It's not hard to make 25 meaningful post if you try.
Good luck.

Yep, the OP was apparently so interested in posting his for sale here at TFL that he's not been back in nearly 3 weeks.
The original question has been asked and answered, as have several ancillary queries.
Really no need for this thread to be open anymore.
