Default Classified Listings

I'm sure this has been brought up before...but what about setting a post# requirement before being able to make for sale posts in teh classifieds. Maybe it would help with some of the scamming or the noobs that need to RTFM and post pics and loction (only maybe after being around long enough to make that many posts would they realize how to post)

Maybe rolling start or first gear member...I think that would deter most scammers as there are many other easier targets...and that would take a lot of effort just for a scam...and I know it gets tiring to read the new sale threads only to find a generic "I'm selling this lousy car...email for price and details."

Anyway was just a thought...and a search didnt turn up anything for me saying this had already been suggested...(maybe I just need to l2search)

I get irritated every time I see someones first post being them trying to sell some pos...or one of the latest is a guy who's user name is something like selling95civic...or something like that...its retarded...and I think this would stop those kinds of things and possible help with the scams because thats too much work when they could move to an easier forum to target.

On my computer forums its 100 posts before you can get into the for sale section.

They also have something called itrader whic is like a ranking system on the site that alows you to leave both positive and negative feedback for both sellers and buyers.
