i voted low as I am a member of a couple other forums like for my motorcycle, that I am scouring so much info from but really do not have much to say as I am a completed noob when it comes to the old Suzuki's. That forum is just as much of a community as this one is and it takes a little while for you to find your place.

There is the old guard that has been there for a long time. The super active people that offer their opinion on damn near everything and post counts reflect it and than the "newbies" that spend a large portion of their time just soaking up the vast amount of knowledge that a group of this size of like minded individuals have to offer like i do on the bike forum or zombie squad. I do not think I should be punished if i want to sell a seat for my bike that someone else wants/needs with only 5 posts IF I adhere to the rules of the forum like a standardized for sale thread template, I have posted in the new member sign in and search before asking a question that has been asked a gillion times before.( that last one is a personal peeve, not really required)

There are always going to be the people that just sign up to sell something it is what the internet has made the world want... instant gratification. Requiring them to have a meaningful minimum post count will weed out a few of the " glock 17 for trade what ya got" people but it will never be fully eliminated mainly it will just make someone that has a sole intention of a quick sale hang around longer and not contribute anything useful which ditracts from what the website has to offer.
