That is a serious hurdle to cross my friend.

Not yet. I just started in earnest recently.
Just know if you are here to profit from the forum you will have at least a Site Supporter status. Period.

Public floggings just didn't seem severe enough.

It's the private ones where they really learn their place.
And sometimes cost more
I mean ...um...
What?
It would if the 1 month came after they hit the target number, not before. It would be the individual members responsibility to keep track of when their month was up and to ask for access. Having to make a minimum count, wait their time, then ask for access, IMO, would weed out those that are only here for the quick sale/purchase then are never seen again. It wouldn't however help with the ones that want to squat in the classifieds after they have access. That would be another issue.
If the classifieds are a perk for contributing members then those that have been around for years and haven't bothered to post anything aren't contributing anything. It would also allow a little more of a buffer for posts to be looked at to determine if the person is really trying to contribute or shortcut themselves in with junk posts. Those that want to pay the SS fee early wouldn't be affected at all.
Thats inhumane and likely against the Geneva Convention.Lock them in the 9/11 thread until they survive 50 more posts.

Will you guys quit posting my number! It's no wonder all the scammers call me constantly.
FIFYMorale will continue until the beatings improve.
I REALLY like that one. And MAYBE MAYBE make site supporter equivalent to that same 50 post so that no matter what, you just cant swoop in, buy/sell and leave.

I tried calling, but it says I need to dial an area code first.
I think the classifieds should be the one perk available to site supporters only.
But I also know that might cut down on paying vendors so it's not likely to happen.
Maybe posting to them. But unless every real member could see them, you would lose out on quite a bit of audience.
I've been on an off here at times for years. But I'm about to sell and try to trade some things, so it seemed right to pony up for the Site Supporter. The fact is that the Classifieds on here is WORTH the Site Supporter cost of you have two or three things to sell or buy. Just in the safety to be able to look at members who are coming to meet you beforehand. I've never been in a buy, sell or trade situation off of here that I felt shady on in my safety. That is worth it alone.
But everyone has gotten used to something for nothing. That isn't a community, that is a modern major city.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's the way it is right now. Those with under 50 can still browse and see everything, they just can't respond or PM. Leaving them open like that would still draw people in.
New members and visitors can see the entire forum.
EVEN THE INVISIBLE MOD SECTION!?!?!? Guess I'll have to log out and re-visit.
