Post count #'s - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I've noticed a lot of noobs comming in and trying to sell stuff here. But the thing is other forums have a minimum post count # before you can sell anything in the classified section.

This might be a good way to deter some scammers. What are you thoughts? Has this been discussed yet?

I think we might have gone over this once.

Seems like a minimum of 10 posts would be a good idea. I know some places that require 30, but that seems a little overboard to me. Not everyone is aggressive in their posting, so it would take them months to reach 30. Most likely it would jus increase whoring and useless posts.

My 2 cents

Eh...Maybe it'd curb a few.

But look at wickedwerx 300 plus posts.

And I also had a shitty experience w/ a person w/ 300+ posts.

We can't prevent everything bad from happening, but at least we can prevent some of it

^Yeah that's what I was thinking too. Get rid of people who swoop in and try to sell things and then take off.

Thats why i think some type of seller rating system.

Msprotege has one, So it is possible.

Deuce · 04-08-2005, 01:05 PM

lets have feedback like ebay for sellers, and make every seller (whether one item or multiples) have a physical address on file (besides a PO Box) and phone number so if someone takes the money and runs, the buyer has a way to seek legal recourse.

CamNub · 04-08-2005, 01:10 PM

Well what msprotege has is like a physical rating system. Like a red box for neg and maybe a green for postitive.

We could maybe make it a Green/Yellow star and Red star so they don't know we copied off them.

***ASG14*** · 04-08-2005, 09:00 PM

I have a 702 99.9% feedback on ebay. 1 damn negative from some stupid POS!

Good idea BTW.

onehotcamry · 04-08-2005, 11:51 PM

similar to mr2oc's trader rating? I think it's a neat idea to be able to give someone a point for a good deal or something like that

but that's just me

***Ratko*** · 04-10-2005, 06:58 PM

Sure thing...

Trader ratings coming soon

SmokingTires · 04-11-2005, 05:39 AM

Have it in their profile or something. Under there avatar just adds more clutter between location, join date, 1/4 mile time, posts, etc

It would be long as hell.

Or could you maybe have it show up only in the sale forums?

WhiteRabbit · 04-11-2005, 09:50 AM

good idea

Peter · 04-11-2005, 05:59 PM

CamNub · 04-11-2005, 06:03 PM
