New Users Should Have Minimum Post/loyalty

[krayzie32]

Just a suggestion to stop would be scammers cos mods keep hammering regular good traders when asked about editing original fs threads in classifieds section.

How about mods do like other popular forums eg nissansilvia, jdmst

and have a minumin genuine post count (ie not including free bumps and wasteland chit chat) inline with minimum 6month loyalty before being allowed to create a thread in classified section...

I see so many threads created by user who sign up on same day or day before, and they wanna carry on about buyer beware etc but even the most minumum of precautions is not taken care of...

Too much time & effort spent on justifying not allowing editing of forsale threads of honest people woth good reps only to have them juggle multiple out of date forsale threads not being allowed to edit or close off once sold or finished...

Yet all mods threads get edited/closed all the time etc etc

then carry on about safety from scammer etc etc then any tom dick or hamoudi can sign up and start scamming straight away...

I recommend this a a fix to prevent users being scammed at the very least!!!!

And then it pisses people off (having to wait 6 months).

Which in turn hurts account creation, for sale area traffic, revenue from ad impressions (banners/search engine etc) and so on.

The no editing was done after much debate, and deemed to be the best solution.

Min post/signup requirements have little bearing on stopping people from bad trading.

Having their details, goods listed, prices etc - that works - we've proven that.

How about minimum time until PM instead of min 10 posts? Tis very annoying with the amount of users spamming to 10 posts.. Could go with the new roll out.. The amount of tards who don't just type in the thread or ring/email the details provided..
