I am a member of several web boards such as this one and several of them require a 50 post count minimum to be able to sell things on the site. This ensures that the members trying to sell things are actual contributing members and not just 1 time posters trying to possibly screw somebody over.

 

i totally agree i almost got robbed by some newbie that never came thru.

 

Werd ! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^bump^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

I think more than 50 posts should be required to be in forum sales.

 

Some sort of minimum is a good idea...

 

I like this idea too -- though we'd probably want to allow replies to existing posts for people with less than the minimum number of posts, or else they wouldn't be able to respond and buy things either!

 

That reminds me. Some random person made a thread selling car insurance. That was his only post. We need to get rid of those forum spammers too.

 

now i know im a newbie but what if we dont already have 50 posts. are we never aloud to to post. om not saying its a bad thing. it would be great fo it to happen.but how is anyone going to post. if you cant post until 50 then you ever going to

 

they're saying restrict people only from selling after 50 posts.

You get your 50 posts by posting in all the other sections of the forum.

 

We do as soon as we find out about them -- if you notice something like that, be sure to bring it to a moderator's attention by clicking the "report post" button (the one with an exclamation point on it).

 

I got rid of that posthaste. We catch 'em as fast as we can, but it never hurts for y'all to give us a heads-up when you see them...

 

Can do Paul.
