April 29, 20179 yr I've noticed we get a lot of adverts in the classified from new members who join just to sell their bikes. No contribution other than an advert. On other forums I've joined there's usually a minimum post count before adverts are accepted. What does the members think about this? Say 30 posts before advertising?
April 29, 20179 yr I do see your point [mention=9683]Crockers[/mention] . However, the minimum post count, required by some forums, can be a bind and encourages spam posting, before they can eventually get to the point. If they're joining just to sell a bike, us having first shout can only be a good thing. I've snagged a couple of good bargains on here myself. Albeit both from seasoned members.
April 29, 20179 yr Author I'm not bothered either, just thought it might get more active membership. Then yes the spam route is a possibility. But that can be monitored. Sorry for bringing it up.
April 29, 20179 yr Sorry for bringing it up. The only bad question is the one that doesn't get asked.

April 29, 20179 yr To be honest I'd like to see more classified postings ! So for my tuppence I don't mind at all. Actually it was the classifieds that first brought the site to my attention many years ago

May 1, 20179 yr One of the other forums I frequent has a no newbie posting in the classifieds rule, trouble with that is that I've been on the forum for nearly a year, but still have only 48 posts, therefore I can't put anything up for sale. Not really fair for the non prolific posters.
