Ban Newbies from Currency Exchange

[gentlemand]

membership level and trust are totally irrelevant when a forum allows scammers to buy memberships imho.

Good point, but membership level restrictions would at least clear up the total morons creating new accounts and asking for 50btc loans. They're not going to have a satoshi to their name.

this issue is pretty damn similar (and by that im saying its essentially the same) to the question of banning newbies from the lending section: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1297180.0
there was another, longer thread here somewhere, but im not going to go look for that.

in short, it isnt going to happen.

You shouldnt ban the newbies, some of them have legitimate reason, years ago before the forum was reset or w/e I lost my account and just in 2014 I was a newbie again and I did some legit trades and here I am..

Imo newbies are fine to trade or sell anything on the marketplace as long as their behavior is not shady. Always use an escrow while trading with them and be sure to ask for any verification or past trading quotes if they have any.

But I think newbies should not be allowed to do PayPal to btc exchanges since there is no secure method for safeguarding this kind of transactions.

You can get a good feel for a person's character by looking at his posting behaviour, and post content. Unfortunately a lot of useful posts seem to get deleted by the mods, especially if they illustrate a wry sense of humour.

Yes this is true! Scammers with their newbie accounts can post links with viruses or malwares..But also can buy hero accounts or used for this hacked accounts, so we are at the beginning again..

A lot of scammers are little delinquants, so they dont have the money to buy an Hero Member account.
