Title: Can't Post in Classifieds
Post by: MunkyCheez on Fri, 31 October 2014, 02:27:37
Hello, I just had a quick question that I couldn't find the answer to anywhere else. Is there a certain minimum account age or number of posts that one needs to be able to post in the "classifieds" or "group buys" boards? Most boards on this forum have a NEW TOPIC button at the top of the thread/topic list, but for these two boards there doesn't seem to be one. I'm sure I'm just overlooking something simple.

25 posts and 2 months minimum if I remember correctly.

Didn't realize the requirements were so few.

It used to be 60 posts, so people would spam until they were able to post. The 2 month rule encourages people to be an active part of the community and not treat it purely as a marketplace.

Right, because who would do that with 25 posts... Right?
