No problem, sir. The site is growing pretty steadily now so there is obviously a need for some simple rules for the classifieds if for nothing else to discourage the scammers.

Your post seemed to allude to that.

You're reading too much into it. We (Nick and myself) are always talking about stuff that needs to be changed on the site. The post minimum was one of them but never got around to because there wasn't quite enough traffic yet to worry about it. Seeing his very first post on the board as a for sale reminded me of that. But that certainly by no means said anything specifically about Robert. At the very least it's not asking too much for someone to make an intro thread making themselves known before trying to sell something.

Good idea Steve.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

I agree Steve, great idea, but I'm going to put in my .02 cents. I think 50 posts might be a little high. What about 20 posts and an intro thread?

We kinda want people to participate in the site and the group. We don't want people just to come on here to sell stuff. That's what craigslist and ebay is for.

At 20 posts, it's a lot easier just to spam the newbie forum with 20 "welcomes" in no time at all and not really learn who that person is. At 50, it's abit more obvious if they have any intent of really being a member here of just on the board to sell their stuff.

Yes sir and that is on the conservative side. Quite a few board have moved to 500 with a reporting repuation section. Anything less than 50% and they can't sell at all.
