Ah yes I just did a search around and found that thread. Sounds great! Looks like I'll have to get posting though as the latest one had a post limit of 150!
You are fairly new with 38 posts and a nice cigar below your name and you don't know what stick a stick is? Let me tell you my good man. Stick a stick in is where the more elite members of the forum get together and lord it over the rest of us by creating a set of rules within a set of rules to share cigars with one another ( ie a swap deal ) and tell the minions where to go in the process. Your day will come my friend, give it time. One day, one day.
Freck, if you look at the history of SASI or passes you'll realise that they are all based on trust and we have been screwed over by newbies that appear get some nice sticks, sometimes send nothing, other times send crap. The rules are not about lording it over people, but protecting people.
be nice to newbies, be nice to newbies! Freck counts right? c'mon!! "elite", "lord it", "minions" ?!
Edit - OK just to actually give fair reasoning, though it should be obvious. Freck- do you expect to be able to borrow money say, or swap objects of unknown value in this instance, with someone you don't know or trust? Those rules are an attempt to show established knowledge or trust of another member of the forum, not perfect for sure but the other option is some kind of system of validation by a member who is already proven, would that work better for you??
I totally understand the logic behind the applied criteria to qualify for stick a stick in, if the shoe were on the other foot I would feel the same way. However as you say I am a newbie and as a newbie have come to this forum to get a better education in the world of cigars. I just feel that a more experienced member should take some pride in passing on such knowledge as like a teacher would do to a pupil. Somone hit on it earlier in a post as saying that the new guy should send his first before receiving anything in return as to ascertain a comparison of price and quality and proof of postage.
I do like reading others reviews and feel that I can gain knowledge from this but as they say, the proof is in the pudding.
