Yay community!! I voted for 50 votes min. I think this is high enough to discourage artificial post inflation. I have had issues with asking questions about buying an item from someone with a few posts. No scammers that I know of but poor communication and lengthy response times. Conversely I have had some awesome experiences dealing with established members. Its just not the same when you are dealing with someone that doesn't care.

No, I necessarily wouldn't.

In fact, there are some posters here that I simply scroll down when I see their comments in a thread. I based this on how they have dealt with others in previous subjects.
Uh, that's exactly what I said. Giving more or less weight based on your opinions of previous posts. Having more posts over more time just gives you and I more of an opportunity to evaluate and reevaluate our opinions. Having few posts, if any, and you are just another screen name.

It's just that mentality of having more posts, been here longer, therefore my opinion should carry more weight than yours - noob. [snip]
I disagree. Everyone's opinion is valid and sought. When lurkers lurk without input who`s to know what they think? Thanks for joining in on the discussion and for voting - a vote of equal validity to any other

I don't know where everyone keeps getting the idea that DP started this thread to defuse scammers. My understanding (from actually reading his posts in the thread) is he is concerned/annoyed with people that join simply to sell stuff. There are other sites for that.
^^ this.

I want firm commitments from the regulators of this forum that no one can bad talk the new Monsters.
I'd be willing to wager $0.05, (which is my largest bet!
), that most who do that haven't ridden one and think we own ours as "a matter of taste", without having a clue how differently they handle.

I've ridden everything. The new ones feel just like the old ones.

And again right back: If selling is their only/primary reason for coming here.... there are other sites dedicated to that.

First thought: cool.
Realisation: they're all wankers down there.

I would suggest that if people are joining to sell ... they are also offering their goods elsewhere anyway.

Having more posts/been here longer does carry more weight for me because I have been able to evaluate this persons opinions, expertise, value system, educational level, conflict resolution, and other variables over a longer period of time. I've been interacting with (some) of these guys since 1999. Of course I would give more weight to their opinion then yours. Wouldn't you?
This is why the
argument
discussion is largely irrelevant to me ... based on that comment I wouldn't be able to sell anything if I wanted to.

Don't be so entirely self-deprecating. OzMos are not
all
wankers. I'd say no more than most of 'em are

I prefer shopping here because people usually list their stuff properly, so you don't have to wonder if it really fits old monsters, newer ones, etc.

Randomly make everyone with more than a year or so on board and reputable posting a mod for tbe for sale boards.
If something is suspect it gets locked or deleted.
Have about 20 of these mods at a time.
Anyone who wants the job is banned.
Anyone who abuses it is banned.
Anyone who has it and doesn't do the job is released from bondage.
With great power comes great responsibility.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.
