Tom, I'm not so sure about the 30 post requirement. If someone really wanted to, they could put up that many posts in a few days. You might want to raise that number to somewhere in the 75-100 range. Just my opinion, take it for what it's worth.

yes you could. but a buyer can also look at what they posted and see if that was the case. if someones 31st post is a sale item..... alarm bells should go off!

 

[Charles Perdue]

Yes, Yes and Yes.

I also think that their address (town or city and state) would be a good idea so some of the new boaters would know about other boaters in their area.

This way if you have any questions about someone BEFORE you deal with them, you can contact other boaters in their area and check to see if anyone else has had any dealings with them. No system is fool proof, but every bit of info that you have will help you with making your decisions.

I would have welcomed this in some of my previous transactions.

If you have nothing to hide, this should not be a problem.

Ray, just what is your REAL name????

If we see something unusual like that it will most likely stand out. BTW- you need to take care of following rule #1 before you worry about others following rule #2.

I thought that it was Archie Stanton.....no, wait, that was that other guy.

This very thing was brought up to me yesterday in a PM as a member was asking if I knew someone who was selling an item that he was interested in. He was not listed on the thread as a potential person interested in the item. Noting a few things in the thread I told him to contact someone closer to the person to see if he knew who it was.

When moderating on another site, we had a lot of members with otherwise zero postings selling. We'd get all kinds of scammers not only selling but buying also. Most were ligit but I do agree that a member should have XX number of postings before selling in here. Some sites won't allow you to post links, pictures or videos until a minimum number of postings are made.

You might not like the new rules but Tom and Don are trying to watch out for your behind. We long-timers in here get to know one another over time but it's that tiny percentage of newbs that have to be watched over. A buyer/seller feedback forum would be cool as it works well over at Jim's. You can do a forum search for a seller or buyer on their feedback. It also shows up in their profile.

 

[JoeWScott]

I like the buyer/seller feedback approach. I have had nothing but good dealings with folks here, which I think is the norm. BUT there are always those few bad apples...

I'll be changing my signature when I change my avitar which will be sometime in September so you have nothing to worry about Don.

Thanks JD, I think I can handle this one myself. BTW, JD, are there any more D8 events at Twin Lakes? I need more stick time h34r:
