Advanced Basics for NewbKnobs

[ThePenIsMightier]

Just some basic questions I haven't found yet if someone could help me out.
1.) The mobile view just shows that a post has a quote in it from whoever the quote is from but it doesn't show the actual words in the quote. Why? How do I disable this so I can see the quote and understand the context?
2.) How are the moderators identified? Is it always in their user title or is there a list somewhere? I've seen a user title of "banned" for someone who still posts so I guess the user titles are a bit loose.
3.) Are there any restrictions on new users in terms of site access? Like can I not sell something until xxx posts or is there a new section of the forum that opens up after xxx posts?
4.) Looks like the post count only increases in the auto sections. Is that right?

That's correct, but don't tell anyone, it's great for confounding newbie trolls.

Don't know about the rest, but I do know your thread title was confusing and awful. Be better.

Seeing your post count in another thread brought me here. How the hell is your post count so damn high? I hardly ever see you in the auto section.

Hey just bumping back to this to see if someone can help me be a better forumer...

Ok, so I want to search for a post that I know sabad_66 made when we were talking about the batteries in a kitchen faucet with motion sense, like my Moen Delaney.

I know how to indicate the key terms and that I want it to be posts written by sabad, but it shows me threads instead of specific posts. I must be doing something wrong because last week, errchry easily found a post of mine where I was complaining about Big Sky so I think I'm doing something wrong.
I just want to be able to search better.

Hey, "heavy is the head that wears the crown". But it's always important to be on the path of constant improvement.
And let's be honest - the fact that I'm above genius members like ES is an abomination. And yourself, as well. I couldn't pump out genius at your level on a consistent basis if I tried, and I DO try!
You guys are the real heroes. You do the heavy lifting and I, at best, clean up the scraps. Can you fathom if I thought myself as some realtor cunt-nugget whose opinion anyone gave a shit about!!?
LoL!!

ES is more of a motorboater guy.

Everyone needs one vice.

And in case there was some debate, the camper trailers are the vice.
