Seriously, a few bucks probably wouldn't kill any of us. But where would that money go? Just curious.
I dont really see the point? I know I dont have to read all the whining PM's so my opinion doesnt really matter. But the people that join just to buy/sell will just make 50-100 BS posts then continue with what they are doing. I know some people join just for the classifieds and I could care less as long as they are good guys. But high post counts dont make people better people, it just means they spend more timing trying to get high post counts
Just my 2 cents but it doesnt matter. I have had guys with triple my post count back out on deals, not show up to meet etc.
100 posts is a lot for me on any board... That's why I voted 50.
Braaaaaaaaaaap!
I voted low, because I don't think it's entirely about post count- 100 worthless posts in the BYPC thread doesn't mean anything...
The idea of blocking until someone has 3 positive feedbacks seems like a good idea, but what if they're in a bad spot, and need to sell something?
No, they're not 'entitled' to hock their wares here, but it's assuming they're not worth anything because they're down on their luck- not cool.
it would be great if there was some way to earn it- like a "buy a MOD a beer" bonus(or other face-to-face, like at a shoot, or some get-together?)
Many new guys will flake because they're uncomfortable, and going into new territory by coming here- fear of the unknown. Think back to the 1st gun you sold to someone you didn't know... did you ever wonder if the next time you saw it was going to be with "People's exhibit A" tag on it?
just something to think about...
The minimum post count is a way to reveal something about them- I've been on other boards where they post "9 more posts to go" etc... so it's very clear their intentions. That's the other side of minimum post counts, and we've seen it here already. Make it apparent in the rules that this won't fly...
ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ, we are the III%, CIP2, and some other catchphrase meant to aggravate progreSSives who are hell bent on taking rights away...
Marlin, I am not certain why post count has anything to do with the ability to follow through with a deal. It could certainly hurt the be detrimental to the forum in that if someone needed to move an item quickly, say to cover their mortgage or whatever else in these uncertain times, a minimum post count would only force them to seek some place else and deprive the people here from the ability to acquire the item.
Is there a moderator who only watches the Trading Post? Perhaps a contract, verified by a moderator and a watch list of pending deals in a sticky would better serve to quell some of the broken deals, etc. a little public accountability does help to ensure a higher standard. I honestly can't see how a certain post count would affect a change.
Yeah, several. I'm not sure how it would work for them to give up all of their free time to babysit that thing all the time. God knows I got burned out on it.
Falls back to what I would have liked to do, and just get rid of it.

Spleify 7-27-12Marlin is the end all be all of everything COAR-15...
some members do not have a super high post count yet been a member since say 05 etc. how about a 6month -1 year membership before allowing it?
I'll check this with the gurus.

OR................................. if not eligible for either option how about ( sounds funky) 1 or 2 members with high post counts and or length of time as references........................................ .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ......and what makes you feel you are the best person suited for the job opening????
because i applied for it?
Reading through the responses, I kind of like the idea about us policing our own community. How exactly that can be done without abusing the system will require a bit more thought and dialogue. A seller reputation system would help a bit, however that does not stop someone from starting a new account after they have been removed from the Trading post. I still like the idea of public accountability in regards to transactions.
