I like the idea of only being able to post in the bazaar if you're a member with more than a coupla posts under your belt. Say minimum 5 or 10 posts...
That'll stop people registering, selling something off & then disappearing off the face of the planet. Kinda keeps things in the Can Reef 'community'. Although, it might restrict the size of the potential audience for the sponsors & sellers I guess... .

FYI if you are on only as a guest it means you can look at other peoples posts, but you can not post anything yourself. You do not get to post until you become a member.

I think what VFX was saying is that you should possible have it so that a new member must start or respond to a few threads rather than joining, selling off something and then dissappearing. In other words just using the site as a buy+sell or a craigslist. Maybe not being able to go into the classified for say a week or two after joining?? I realize that buying and selling used equipment is a nice perk but it is really supposed to be a site for Q+A and support from other reef fanatics. I know it has been great for me, I have picked up so much information and have had some great suggestions for my system. Much more than the LFS would ever give me. So maybe a new member should still be on a trial basis?? Glad its not my decision..

What I am talking about is people not joining in the first place, you can't post questions, comments or sell anything if your a guest.
The topic of selling restrictions for new member has been well covered in the past and always ends up at the same place. I think CanReef wants to encourage board participation not restrict it. That's basically what I was talking about but I think from lack of participation in this thread shows it's not a issue.  IMHO...out.

90%+ of those guests are Spam Bots. They troll forums, looking for email addresses and such posted in threads to spam the owner to death. Website links and other things too. Google spam bot is real bad for trolling. One of me Firebird forums, we can see which bots are searching what. Kinda interesting what big buisness will do to spy on peoples internet habbits
