[QUOTE="ratski, post: 2055428, member: 936"] I think that something might be in order, but I also can see both sides of the coin (as well as the rim) here. Raising it to 100 posts, I think is a bit steep. Just because someone hasn't hit 100 posts doesn't mean that they are not trustworthy or able to offer us a good deal. Even at 20 posts, unless someone posts and then answers their posts, it does take some effort to get there. Personally, I'd like to see some sort of EASY way to leave and view feedback. A direct link on the left hand side under the user's name. Something that shows number of feedbacks and a direct link to the feedback area to read AND LEAVE feedback. It really can be a pain in the a$$ to find feedback on folks. I do agree that there has to be a minimum number of posts before you can post in the classifieds. There are some who just jump in for that feature alone. While on the subject of classifieds, one of my big beefs with it is the "My friend has this item that they'd like to sell." I've seen it both ways on the board. I've tried to post a good deal for the board, but it was my friend who wanted to sell it. Well, because I didn't own the firearm, the forum missed out on a GREAT deal and I got my wrist slapped. I couldn't take possession of the firearm because I am an FFL and that would have involved paperwork, but putting two people in touch with other would have been good for both parties. And I've also seen the flip side of that where people have said "my friend has a bunch of stuff for sale and this is what it is." And the posts sit without a problem. There needs to be consistency. And there needs to be leeway. Someone might be an up and coming source of "good stuff" and might not post it because of the minimum posts requirements. I don't know. Need the wisdom of Solomon.
