100 Posts & 60 days in order to Post in Classifieds

[spacedog]

On one of my other forums (im just a forum member on 600rr.net) they have a 100 post 60 day rule:

You have to have at least 100 posts and have been a member for at least 60 days in order to post new threads or respond to anything in the classified sections. (Greeting new members and post whoring do no count towards that).

They do this so that members with virtually no history on the forums can't come in and scam/rip-off trustworthy and loyal forum members. I think it'd be a great thing to do on Zilvia.net considering the volume of people who have been ripped-off by new members w/no history. Just my 2 cents. What do you think?

I think people shouldnt be buying online from new members/companies/people with no ebay history.......................

Hey, I just won the lotto in nigeria but need to transfer the money out of country, whats your account #......................
Hey, I got 37 BS post on a forum and have been here 3 months, i totally will mail you that dash, just send the money....................
I know Paypal only gives you a certain amount of time before you cant dispute claims, but just give it another week to show up, maybe it got lost.................

#1. This isn't a Chat Topic.

#2. Setting stipulations like that for the Marketplace, just leads to post whoring. We already have enough idiotic Threads started and stupid questions asked without people trying to squeeze in enough posts to get into the Marketplace.
