Bitcoin Forum

It would be great if every new WTS asic ad was not posted by a Jr. member with less time on the forum than used to be required to escape the newbies section.

Not saying we should investigate everyone who wants to buy/sell.  It would just seem to filter out a lot of noise if it took more than 4 posts in order to put up a WTS ad.

+1   I think goods section should be OOB for a while on Jr acc, I see alot of shill's being made to pump up a sale price, Or conveniently make it sold if low.

Just because you're a jr member doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to post, but these scams coming from the newbies section with 4 posts should be stopped.

I don't remember at what point it decided to make me a full member, but it wasn't all that long ago. I should have registered much longer ago, but never bothered too, mostly because of the noob section restriction back then.

Ultimately the trust system will hopefully guide you towards a trusted seller. Having higher activity/post count doesn't make a massive difference, people can just buy an account with high activity then post their scam.

Hmm, maybe it might be a good idea to put a limit on newbs listing stuff to minimise scammers etc, but as a rule of thumb I'd be very wary of dealing or buying something from somebody who has less than ten posts any way. And always use escrow.
