You need to have at least 50 posts.

Because of all the problems we have had in the buy/sell, especially lately. Although many of these problems may go unnoticed to many, we have to deal with them behind the scenes.

We decided this was the best way to try eliminate some of that, for now at least.

because people are registering under fake names for some reason and selling stuff.

Personally I think it is a good call. You see people listing stuff and it is their 1st post and you are never sure if they are stand up people or just trying to scam someone. Not that 50 posts makes you an automatic honest, upright citizen (I am sure you need at least 1000

) but at least it will be someone who has participated on the board and give people a chance to get a gut feeling.

Just my .02

Gads! I've got over 3,000 posts

I guess that means I can sell EVERYTHING now

Not that I want to, though

My comments are in no way knocking the decision of the Mods. Good call on this issue, especially when people show up only to sell stuff and refuse to list their locations. Makes me wonder if they're scam artists or what.

I would think if a person knows you well enough to vouch for you,maybe you could have them buy/sell for you untill your post count is high enough.

Participation on the board, will get an aquarist to 50 posts in no time.
