I suggest reducing the choices in the poll:

        o 0 posts
        o 25 posts
        o full disclosure on items or be deleted
         
Choose no more than two. 

Stick to these choices in discussion.  Whatever Nate's final decision,

Browsing the parts for sale section i see we got a little microcosm of a case for having a 25 post rule.

Agree, I think most people tend to be polite and answer any question to the best of their ability. The person mentioned above is the exception to the rule, generally.

I will stand by my original vote of 25 + full disclosure

That guys threads should be deleted not just locked. He is a great example of why this thread is here.

I think....

that if Randall can mature to the point where Stu has a BillisiMoto sponsor sticker on his salty bike, than even the doucheiest noobs in the for sale section might over time become regular, active, decent, and helpfull boardmembers.

That's all I got to say.

Trading parts for ad space is a sign of maturity?

Holy Smokes.... What a doosch. 

Now I see what this thread is all about.

I may have to change my vote, 25 posts clearly isn't enough

I have personally never delt with him ( I still think of him as a lil snot nosed douche bag), but I figure if Stu has been dealing with him, and I do know Stu,  Randall must have matured somewhat

I just noticed this thread. Don't get over here much, but the header helped.

I wanted to vote for 49 1/2 posts but I reluctantly  voted for 50 instead.


My thought which is slightly unrelated to selling stuff but maybe not entirely, is to deactivate accounts with less than 25 posts that haven't logged in for 9 months or a year or so. If your going to contribute then contribute.



Not that it matters but the reason I joined in the first place  was to buy stuff to get my monster operable. And I've been posting crap on here ever since.

I think all of this is a clever marketing ploy to get us to check out the flea market!!!

I presume yer joking....



My take is that it's the old buyer beware scenario.  If a noob has parts to sell I'd most likely ignore the post but if really interested I would exercise due caution.

I have seen the situation where a well heeled dude buys a shiny new toy, gets a stack of gear and bling, decides he doesn't really enjoy riding and wants to quit - because he has no " street cred " anywhere he will have trouble attracting a buyer, therefore someone will get bargains when he goes to the obvious places to unload that particular 'bike .

OK, that case might be rare - but so far have there been many scammers trying to sell stuff here ? ?

The point has been made 7 or 8 times that we perhaps we should discourage people from joining the forum just to sell things and then once they've sold their stuff they go on their merry way. This is not Craigslist or E bay, its an online community. Conversation and interaction are encouraged here which is how many members have end up with such high post counts. They have the gift of gab.
