How about 'no one can post to this thread until they have 10 posts'
one of the forums i am on, you have to have 65 post's to get to the classifieds, and if they see you post whoring to get there, they knock it down and give you a warning, second time is a totally restricted account for a week.... 3rd time, ip ban
I would support a clause that the 5 posts must be constructive participation or "constructive in nature" in the forum such as other forums do; effectively eliminating post whoring in 3 month old threads to reach the required count.
Otherwise, the post rule means nothing.
Good point. Interesting in theory but practically impossible to administrate. The number of posts could be raised possibly. No matter what restrictions you put on, there is a way around. Scammers generally aren't going to sign up, post a bunch of posts, then scam away. The rule won't eliminate the possibility but it should discourage the drive by scammers.
I saw that it was an older post... just jumping into the ongoing conversation. Certainly not picking on you.
I'' go along with that! This is my 4TH tHANKS.
I think there should be a minimum of 20 posts. Have the new guy/gals participate in Texas Gun Talk. That way they get to know us and we get to know them a little. It's rude to go into somebody's house "Texas Gun Talk" and not introduce yourself and get acquainted a little before you want to try to sell your stuff.
How about not even making the Classifieds section visible to non-registered users altogether. And not to registered members until a certain amount of posts AND/OR minimum number of days of registered membership.
Just look at the forum index. The forum with the most viewers on most any time of the day IS the Gun classifieds.
Again, no posting in this thread <10 posts
Rules are Ok but lets be reasonable. Besides I thought TGTrader was going to get all the classifieds.
Oh boy I hope my last post meets the "quality" post test.
"quality post" sounds kind of commie don't it.
