50 post min for sales wtb other etc

so many 10 post noobs not following the rules and necro posting and such maybe a 50 post min would help although the downside would be a spam of useless post to get there 50 posts up let me know what u think and such

I think you answered it. Post-whoring would abound.
The Mods do a great job IMO. Especially with the Truly Retarded who pull this crap from time to time.

They used to make it so you couldn't start a thread until after you post 10 times. Everybody realised all it did was create posts such as "lol" or "+1", pointless posts. They took that away so now you can create a thread when you first sign up. The mods on this forum do a really good job at monitering and removing useless posts that shouldn't be there. I don't think it should change especially if it's just going to create a bigger mess of post whores.

Yeah, unfortunately minimum post count restrictions never work well.  It creates more post whores and turns away lurkers.  For example, I've had an account on Arnie's for years and years but I'm still not at the minimum post count for the buy/sell area because I never post there.

Most of my posting is done from work so it depends if anything breaks.
