best bet would probably be monitoring "Total time logged in"

Can new, low count, members be automatically introduced to an email address they can send the offer to if they are convinced their offer is worthy special treatment?

I don't want to have to monitor anything.

It can all be done by writing a bit of code. You are already collecting the data it seems.

I'm sure it can, but you can be logged in and not contribute a thing to the forum
Besides, I'm not a code person, and SMF has been known to get wonky, or other modifications will cease working when custom modifications are written in.
There is already a very simple way to do it and I like simple.
People with less than x posts won't be able to start a thread in the for sale sections.

I think a person's ability to post classified adds on the board should be directly tied to the number of instances they've insulted IZ. No for sale posts unless you have ridiculed him (hobbit jokes, IZ_ pictures, stories of nails or bee stings, you get the idea) at least a hundred times.

There is a reason I didn't offer a 'member since' option.
The forum software can be set up to deny a specific permission to a specific group in a specific board.
There is no way to enforce a member since option other than one of the admins to read every for sale ad every day. That creates more work IMO, and doesn't really solve the issue. We're not going to add moderators. The place works fine with the current crew.
As far as a bunch of junk posts to bump up post counts?
That's easily remedied.
So, since the posts will need to be quality it will take a while to get there depending on the count.
I think too high a number will be counterproductive. It will just limit the number of items the membership will be offered.
You lurkers should post up more and become part of the community.

I'm going to throw in another vote for considering both "member since" and the post count. Adding the member since time into the equation will reduce the chances of getting "bump" posts while not preventing members who just don't post a lot - like myself.
+1 and bump
just trying to get my post count up. i might have some shit to sell in a few months
jk of course, very cool that you put this to a group decision. its things like this that separate this forum from so many others.

The time as a member option is dead. I think DP made it pretty clear, he can easily set up a post count wall but there isn't an automatic way to deny users based on time as members. He can also delete their 24 +1's as he see's fit. So that seems to be the solution but I still think 50 would be a better threshold.

I'll modify the poll to add higher post counts.
You'll be able to change your vote.

Here's what I think:
We're all adults and can choose from whom and what we buy in person, so why not online?
If I see a single poster and he has something I want desperately, I could care less if he didn't post 2000 times in the "what are you listening to?" thread (no offense, Kopf)
We tend to talk enough, within sellers posts even, to warn people buying if this are scammers after the first one.

They can use ebay for that. Or they can come here to sell with no fees and "use" the DMF. I think that's the issue ....but I'm currently on Percocet so I may be wrong.

I've bought and sold to people with <25 and >500 post, haven't had a problem yet. If people come here to sell parts that somebody might need is that a problem?
