Well, being a guy on this board for a little over two years now, I'm aware I'm a lurker. I have had a long journey to being a monster owner, and have soaked up much valuable knowledge. Like what others have said relative to their similar situation, I don't tend to post too much because I still consider myself a noob on much that has to do with riding a motorcycle. I don't think I even have 25 posts yet, but I think the 50 post idea is a good one. If I ever had something to sell here, I wouldn't want to be viewed as a traveling salesman. Just my 2 cents.

I so enjoy the banter, though...  chug

News item added to the header.

Nobody is going to see that.  Should have used flashing colours and Mel's pom poms to grab people's attention.

Voted (xx number of posts) before posting in classified (added first post to be introduction to the forum)  25 and 50 seem like a lot though (maybe 5 or 10)

But regardless, I think this forum is great! without this criteria so far, but I always welcome improvement like this.   Dolph

I voted to leave it open for now.  If it turns out that we have a LARGE number of traveling salesmen, and it's taking time for the flounders to screen, then I want to change my vote to 25.


If there wasn't some sort of a problem, DP wouldn't have asked the question.  How much a hassle/inconvenience have traveling salesmen caused for the flounders?


...yes, I read all 8 pages-I'm a lurker.

May be a better way is to hide the For sale section to members that have less than 25/50 posts, so they don't know that they will need to post +1s before it appears, and it will be a pleasant surprise when it does show up to new members Wink

But that might draw them to the main board..

Actually, that's a pretty good idea.  What do you think Nate?  The entire Flea Market can be hidden until/unless someone has enough posts to become a Jr of Full member.

I'm attracted to that idea too.... not sure if there's an easy technical way to implement it though?

That would reduce the audience that can purchase and IMO would be bad for the members that are part of the community and happen to be selling. It's easy enough to do it that way.

The other way only prevents a new member from starting a thread in a for sale board.
.
To answer an earlier question...it just frosts me when I'm looking through the classifieds and I see a member with say 22 posts and every one of them is in the classifieds.

That isn't what this place is about. It's a community, not an economic opportunity.

Probably should put your goats in a more secure area so the youngins don't hijack them.
