Increase requirement for marketplace

Fifty "good" posts, meaning contributing ones, not generic off topic trash, plus at least ninety days of registration.

 

That's just my point of view and I think it's a good idea but I don't think that it's possible, I don't know how many new users register each day but I think mods already have enough work to do.
Checking each new user's post to see if it's a "good" or a "bad" one is just impossible.

 

I, too, voted for 50 posts & 90 days - take that from someone who doesn't meet either criteria. I want to see the integrity of the forum upheld by any reasonable means necessary, and this is a great idea.

The Marketplace rules imply restrictions on all forum dealings, even if psychological, and that's a powerful deterrent for douchebaggery - which is why I am here, and not somewhere else. You guys know your shit - and each other.

Integrity = Good. Rant over. Carry on.

 

I voted for 50 posts and 30 days. Of course, as someone who rarely posts (and visits every day), I honestly don't know how someone could post 50 times in a month. I also agree with good posts, but I dont think that should be up to the mods to screen. That's a bunch of work for them, where you could take 2 minutes of your time to actually go through a person's post history. And I definitely think that we need to place more emphasis on the feedback threads. I'm guilty of not posting in people's threads, and this system would definitely help the newer members.

 

^ This.

If the person was really needing the sale, they'd so all the right things to get there.

 

I think 50 and 30 days is the way to go, then increase the time if needed afterwards. I've been here awhile and still haven't managed 50 posts, does take awhile I think. Maybe if there was some type of report function if a user is spotted pointlessly spamming to increase there post count.

 

I voted 50 posts and 90 days

 

90 days.

People can kinda just wing 50 posts by posting a generic message that would be posted anyways. 90 days will filter out those who are looking for a one time use of the market place.

Can we make it that you have to read the forum rules before posting? Or maybe a pop-up for new members (like the "new message" pop-up)

 

anyone below 11.000 posts shouldn't sell on his own. a 20% cut for anyone above that post count would be ideal..for me.

 

90 days and 100 post
must be no spam post

 

50post, 90days.
