[QUOTE="Keyser328, post: 2055543, member: 10111"] Speaking as someone who has administered forums in the past and chooses to [I]not[/I] do it now (with huge kudos and thanks to our mods that deal with it), the idea of judging the "quality" of people's posts is a nightmarish concept to broach. Doing something like that would be a near full time job and would make the mods miserable, so based on that issue alone, I'd veto that idea. If the forum software supports a minimum time as well as a minimum post count, I think that would be sufficient. Hiding the sale forums from non-logged in persons is a no brainer, as that will keep bots from indexing it, etc. Again speaking from the position of a former forum administrator, I understand the purpose of the rules and desire to keep "in-fighting" as non-existent as possible, but having been a member here for some time, I also recognize that the community is composed of generally level headed and well mannered people, and I believe they can help cull much of the "politically inflated" market manipulation that may be present, given the opportunity.
