Thinking of bumping minimum post count.

wouldn't an entire IP or user ban (not just the members name) solve most of the multi-account offenders?

While I am not certain, I don't think so. Unless someone who is an offender has a static IP and no access to another computer an "entire ip ban" would entail banning every user of an isp wherein you are issued a dynamic ip every time you log in. That would prove detrimental to the trading post. Then there is the question of proxy servers. There is really too much to consider when dealing with online transactions. If we need to lock down the trading post because of abuses, then only a ftf transfer with a 3rd party witness would suffice. Perhaps an FTF day at a Site shoot? I don't know what is the solution right now. Is setting up a group COAR15 Trading post day where transactions can be held and some shooting done be too unreasonable? Once a month for now with other members present? Just spit balling here.

I may be in the minority opinion here, but in my personal case the post count and/or time would have been a negative impression for me. Found this site when I started getting interested in firearms, and I bought my first AR here that was probably about my 5th post. That was it for me, I was hooked, not only on the firearms aspect but also the amussing banter on this site.

Granted, I don't have to deal with the crap the MODs deal with, but from a user perspective it might have come out different for me had I had to be one of the "good ol boys" to actually get into the game.

Just my 2 cents and if you don't agree I'm happy to fully refund your purchase price on this opinion.


BTW, I've learned more from the people on this site than I ever could hope to contribute. Thanks COAR15.

I agree, it SUCKS being a new guy and not meeting requirements because you don't post general BS alot. Not that shooting the shit is a bad thing, its just that some of us read, and if there is nothing valuable to contribute that hasn't been said before, we dont' feel the need to "+1" ... :P

So in essence, "+1" to the guy above me. HA!

Go ahead, mod me...I'm wearing my mod-proof vest Fooooo.

Wow...maybe I should stop drinking for the night.

I voted 50 only because 15 wasnt an option.
