IMO that would be the worst thing one could do to an open forum. Closed door is never a good thing.Perhaps exchange should be premium membership only.

I mostly agree with you, I'm afraid I was in mid thought process when I posted previously. A few of you have mentioned that the exchange forums have taken an unsavory flavor recently in terms of "scalping". Perhaps a layered filtering system is needed to help negate unwanted behavior. Post count can be one layer, and another is ....fill in the blank...IMO that would be the worst thing one could do to an open forum. Closed door is never a good thing.
I agree, but maybe make it tougher to gain access to the exchange?IMO that would be the worst thing one could do to an open forum. Closed door is never a good thing.
That's why I pushed for the minimum we have now. Otherwise we'd see people pop on a lot more frequently and try to offload something for ebay prices. Or scam. Or buy deals here and try to flip on ebay.I agree, but maybe make it tougher to gain access to the exchange?
There was a guy who popped up a few weeks ago (forgot his name), he posted into the "Evaluate my stuff" thread ... found out his stuff was worth some money ... the next thing we know he's posting FS threads ... sold his gear and he hasn't really been seen since ...
I may be a n00b ... but i find that actions like those 'cheapen' the forum and what it was originally created for ...
Just my O opinion ... :I
What about restrict the value thread and all pm privileges untill the two week mark
Harsher enforcement for Noob (probe) forum rule breakers? No PM's allowed at all?Making it too big means new members spend more time on "probation" as it were, and feel less welcomed, or feel like we're not welcoming new people. All negative, and to be avoided, in my mind.
