Newcomers

Also, this needs to be in member feedback/suggestions not OT.

Which would be worse than trolls and random idiots shitting up FS threads and posting tons of useless OT crap?

lol @ being worried about new comers shitting up threads. Most of the “OG’s” and “regulars” shit up way more threads than I’ve seen trolls or newbs do

^^^this

when you require a minimum number of posts to sell something or show pics the only thing that happens is the new members go around posting utter crap to get their count up.

is that what you want to encourage?

5000 post minimum.

EDIT: To be able to post anything. At all. Anywhere.

Considerinng that offtopic posts dont count, I dont think it would be such a great idea.
I would rather see some useless shit in OT rather than usless shit in gen auto just to sell something.

I’m just saying, it works on tons of national forums…but hey whatever. Do your own thing NYSpeed, it’s just a suggestion.

I can’t remember what forum it was on, but they had a minimum post as well however it only counted if it was useful/insightful… therefore “cool” or “sweet” would not count, it had to be something of value

oh thats just mean.

Nessuno: yes, that’s what I mean. There was a “value” point awarded for certain posts

:stfu: :noob:

makes perfect sense to me. I mean, it will be annoying for newbs, but first off :whogives:about that, and second it will show that they actually want to be on this forum as opposed to some of the new dumbasses on here that in my opinion have no right/reason to be

Craigslist is for random ppl trying to sell shit, not an automotive forum/community. I’d rather have ppl here to contribute to the site than post there crap FS and then never post again

It’s not a big deal. NYSPEED isn’t big enough to warrant a minimum post count. Who cares if a Noob is posting in the classifieds?

This is getting made into a bigger deal than it needs to be.

set this fucking ship to auto-pilot and things will take care of themselves.

That’s why you can PM people.
still can see the threads, just can’t post in them or make a FS thread.
or maybe so you can post in them, but not create one.

Maybe they should just make it so you can’t respond to new threads in the classifieds. That way you could still PM the seller about the ad, but morons couldn’t shit up their ads. :tup:

:wave:

That would work Fry
