if someone comes here with less than 25 posts but has something for a good price, the only people that lose out are members.
adding limits only encourages the the perception of 'elitist ducati owners.'

If somebody
comes here to sell something
for a good price but has less than 25 posts (or hopefully a limit of greater than that)... they'll still sell the good priced item elsewhere, so no reason for any alert buyer to miss out.
Ebay is a commercial market place. IMO the DMF is a meeting place for enthusiasts.... who may also seek to buy/sell and trade amongst each other. There's a difference.

I'll chime in. On another forum I'm a member of a photographer community. They sell stuff too...and sometimes that helps a ton with expensive photography equipment. But you have to have 200 posts and be a member for a minimum of 90 days. I've been a member for 2 years! I only have 100ish posts. I read more then I post. BUT, I fully meat the other requirement. I say 50 posts is a fair number, maybe with a month period to wait o post in classifeds?

Just so everyone understands...
there is no easy way to do the time thing so that won't happen.
The question is simply should we require a
minimum post count to start a thread in any for sale section
.
It won't affect wanted posts.

Put a 50 post minimum on there. It weeds out those that have the patience to post +1's 25 times yet its low enough to not discourage real people that are "one of us"

Yes.
So far the 25ers are in front.
I went for 50.
Nifty 50 or shifty 50, but the mods should see the pattern of posting behaviour.
Whatever number, the mods will have some patterns to observe to decide if the poster is real. That's what matters.

I think the 25 is in the lead because 50 wasn't an option when the poll started. If I remember correctly there was 22 votes for the 25 post count when the 50 was added. Since then 14 new votes have come in for 50 or more and 1 for the 25. I doubt many people are gonna come back and change their vote.
I say take a vote among the seven founders and be done with it.

Why should the number of posts keep one from selling an item to a loyal community? Can someone not try to sell an item to a community of people who may be looking to buy? Theoretically if I was looking for a set of stock mufflers and there happened to be a passerby that had some mufflers for sale, I would want to know of that sale. Potentially buying said item. Perhaps they had a link to eBay. What is the harm of being forwarded to an external service? Are they not helping the community by offering an opportunity to buy a set of used mufflers? Having a requirement of a certain number of posts leads to excessive responses such as +1, quoting, or non-contributing responses to subjects. I would rather have them contribute by offering an item to a loyal member than just "checking" the 25 posts "box" in order to sell.

wow. I thought we were sharing our opinions. why even have the "let anyone post" option if we're clearly not going that direction? Why ask at all, just implement what you want?
