Soooo...what do you all think

...about not allowing people to join to just sell stuff in the classifieds?
The classifieds section can be set up to not allow anyone with less than say...25 posts...to be allowed to post.
It might cut into your sales of items unless you check pm's or your email if visible.
There is no boobies option.

25 posts x # of people who post just to sell stuff may equal lots of inane postage
OTH, make it 200 - just noticed that I hit that with this post. Been on here since close to the beginning

There's that...without doubt...
How many will actually go to the trouble?

Totally agree. I have joined other forums to sell stuff before that had this prerequisite. All I did was post 25 "bump"s and "+1"s to get my post count to 25.
What is the motivation for doing this? People that sell stuff that aren't worried about a bad reputation?

Two responses.
The glib: So nothing much will change then
.
The serious: I think there ought be some minimum post level (and FWIW I'd set it higher than 25). IMO it may deter some of the opportunist blow-ins whose only purpose in venturing here is to place a free ad in front of a narrowly targeted audience.
But if it was up to me, I'd lock away entire sections of the board to non-members too.

At worst it will have little effect. At best it might filter out a few wankers. So on balance, it does no harm and I support it.

In case you haven't noticed...
this a community...
not an economic opportunity.
I review every person that signs up.
Just today I have 2 that are only joining to sell shit.
That's what the motivation is.

Don't forget us long time low post count lurkers
Maybe a post count / time on the board combo?

actually that last poster brings up a good point. It seems to me.. that if your looking to "weed out" some folks who are just looking to sell. The better criteria to use would be "member since" time. Ie: if i was in a rush to sell something today, theres nothing to stop me from bumping and posting plus 1 on everything to get to "25". But nothing in the world is going to allow me to go back in time and sign up 6 months ago.. just so I can post today.

I agree with Ung and DP, but I hadnt considered the genuine, passive lurkers.
Maybe that combination with 50 posts, but a compulsory donation to the board funds for those joining to sell. Hit 'em in the hip pocket?
If thats too complicated, then just the bosses ruthless discretion

For me, just looking at the post count is good enough. Unless the poster is someone I consider a solid member of this community if I can't see it in person i ain't buyin' it!
