CleanGSR Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 First off, this is not a complaint, just a suggestion or question rather. Is there anyway that new members would have to have at least a set number of posts before placing a classified....say that you need to have 20 posts before you can post a new topic in classifieds. I think this would filter a lot of spam and a lot of people that join to merely sell stuff. Mods feel free to lock so this doesn't turn into a huge discussion, I just wanted to throw my suggestion out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EH6TunerDaniel Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Your grammar and word choice makes me believe you and him are the same, so I wouldnt trust your feedback. On topic. A minimum number of posts would be nice, or maybe do like turbod16.com does. A $5 donation is required to make a thread in the classifieds.

TS John Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 . That's an interesting idea with the donation. I actually got a great deal on my suspension (275 for 800 worth) from someone who only ever made like 5 posts, all classifieds. So yeah.... Late edit: I also feel that making you have to pass a trail period before posting in there (like HT) is frustrating cuz sometimes you just wanna buy something and not wade through a forum posting just so you can buy stuff later. (see my thread in the del sol section called "Anyone wanna do me a favor?") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrorocketeer Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Yeah that does suck, and I know what you mean. but there should be minimum number of post you need to be able to LIST things in the classifieds, not buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS John Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 That makes more sense. Although I still feel that n00bs, undeterred, would just post up their crap in whatever section they wanted and just ask to get it moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLontheDL Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 That is fine by me. It helps filter out the spammers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphries Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 either that or spammers just make useless small talk in General Discussion until they can SpAMER it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRG7 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 That makes more sense. Although I still feel that n00bs, undeterred, would just post up their crap in whatever section they wanted and just ask to get it moved. This is the problem with having a post-based Classifieds forum. A. Classifieds posts will appear in random sections and be moved. B. Users will p/w until reaching the specified number of posts. It won't really cut down on the spam. The majority of spammers post in other forums rather than the classifieds, or in multiple forums. It's usually the first forum or within the first forums seen that a spammer will post in, because he/she/the bot won't care to look for the appropriate section since they have no interest in actively participating on the forum. They're here to make their post(s) and move on to the next forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guythatknowsnothing Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 true so there isn't really an efficient way to make the classified thing work other than ignoring what you don't want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 time delay. eveyone hates it, but maybe it would be necessary. do not let users that have been members less than one week start new threads. would limit spammers and it would also help to limit newbs that post amazing idiotic initial threads and end up being flamed all to hell and back.

Unfortunately, that would also deter new users from coming back. This forum isn't big enough to turn noobs away who are looking for help. There is no cure-all solution for this. It's the internet, and spammers are everywhere, as are scammers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
