Thinking of bumping minimum post count.

[Troublco]

Late to the game, but oh well.

I didn't join this site to be buying and selling stuff. I like dealing with the folks here when I do, and I always check here before I buy something to see if I can deal with someone on this site (whether it's an individual or an industry partner) before I go buy something from Sportsman's or a similar place. I like the fact that we are basically self-policing (with a LOT of help from the mods) and I know that for the most part I can deal with someone who's been on this site for a while with confidence. But as I see this site as a place to get and share info and BS with some of the folks I've gotten to know, and not as much a sale site, I'm going to vote for 100. I think you should be here for the right reasons, not because you're looking for a marketplace.

Oh, and Howdy, y'all!

I'm one of those guys who reads a lot on forums, but rarely post. I'd rather "be thought ignorant than open my mouth and prove it." There is one forum that I've been a member of for nearly 8 years that I just reached the 100-post mark. I've also made some purchases from the trading post and feel I've been very fair in my dealings with others. How about a "minimum of 25 posts AND 3 months membership" or something along those lines. Maybe 6 months. Just a thought.

I think the Mods do a great job, so whatever they do will most likely be fine. I like RMGO's where people can't bump the add all the time. Or how about if people keep F>>>ing up, close the For Sale Section for acouple days, then the sellers would move on (and my wife would be happy . Good job Mods and to be honest, its cool that a poll was even conducted. Thanks again

I will close this soon as the new rules have been put in place. 15 post/30 days for the new people. Any body that is under 30 days right now will NOT be able to see the TP. If you spend your 30 days being nice and make a few posts then all will be reviled on day 31.

Perfect. That keeps people from joining up just to be able to send a PM to a member for an item. I think this will help out a lot.
