Come on..you've seen them..err one..posted enough Howie. I'm sure you could mod them into a hell of a potato gun to shoot those evil squirrels!  DP..I've only gone into the section a handful of times. I didn't recognize but maybe 2-3 members. Not sure I would buy from those people unless I could get someone here to put in a good word for them. Read too many horror story threads in here to just buy from anyone. |

I agree with a required post count but it should be much more then 25. I agree with a member since requirement as well.
The last guy I had a problem with used this place as Craigslist. He didn't give two shits about any sense of community.

The more I think about it the more I come to the conclusion it should be MUCH more than 25. Add a zero and we're getting close maybe... The last guy I had a problem with used this place as Craigslist. He didn't give two shits about any sense of community. We know. And these proposed measures wouldn't have stopped him anyway. Maybe it's time to suck that one up and move on now, eh. |

I did. But it's relevant to this discussion. |

Read my post. It's pretty clear how it was relevant. Either proposed option....if set to a longer term then 25 posts and/or the proposed "member since" may have kept him out of the classifieds. 95% of his posts were in the classifieds. |

Either proposed option....if set to a longer term then 25 posts and/or the proposed "member since" may have kept him out of the classifieds............ I read your post. And don't agree that it was pretty clear.... that's why I asked. If it was pretty clear I would've pretty clearly comprehended it's relevance. Rather, what I thought.... was that it's pretty unclear what a long term, fairly prolific former poster has to do with this discussion. That's why. I asked  . I actually think he's the exception and including him as part of the consideration only muddies the waters. Guys like that will buck any system, more's the pity. But setting minimum requirements may filter out the casual opportunist. On that we can agree I think. |

I agree with the member since count. number of post is your choice.
You do such a good job here your judgement is ok with me.
But I'm not very active, so there is that

I think the member since thing can be defeated as someone joins up and then goes and does whatever on a couple of the VS boards and comes back months later with 3 posts to try and sell what didn't on the VS boards...
post count limitation will deter most I think...those that post "+1" and "bump" postings could potentially be moderated to have those posts removed if it is noticed that in fact it is what they are doing, which SHOULD bring their post count back down below that threshold....but that requires a little more vigilance from the current mod staff...something that ( from what I can see) apparently is a bit more work for the current active staff...perhaps a couple more mods to be added to aid in this?!?!?!

Not sure it matters at this point but I vote for a lower post count, say 15, and a length of membership of say 3 months.
I recently tried to sell some items on the ducati.ms forum but couldn't because I didn't have the 25 posts. I've been a lurker on there for a year, occasionally learning something new, etc, etc. But, since I have this forum, I really have no reason to post on there. I think I'm at 17 posts, but I'm not going to say meaningless crap for 8 more just to get to the number, because I know that pisses people off. 15 posts and lurking for 3 months pretty well validates somebody as at least being interested in Monsters. There will still be the folks that you have to boot out or even just live with. But I'm weary of making it too difficult to get in because then we may start missing out on great opportunities to buy nice, second-hand parts.

I am more in favor of the "member since" option. I don't post often but I am on the site nearly every day just reading new post or old posts. I don't have anything to sell, but that could be changing (2006 S2R 1K Shock any one?  ) |

The more thought I put into it the more I think time as a member should be considered more than post count. Personally I would make it more than 90 days before any new member can post to the classifieds. This will discourage those that join just to sell shit. It will also give the community a little bit of time to get to know them before sending them money for something.
Time as a member is good for the community, number of posts? not so much.
