New sales-corner rule
Re: New sales-corner rule
I have not read this forum. Just getting it off my radar. Think I got the a30 post rule and am ambivalent. But you mean there's a chance we have more opportunities to buy CW watches?
Seems thing we should be more concerned about are NN flippers. I only joined last year but you can bet I am a serious follower. One NN sale and it was clear there are flippers at work. [*]

You don't have to be a watch expert to have an opinion. I am not and have just noticed I have gone over the 4000 post mark.JonD wrote:Dam, looks like I'll have to get posting. I'm nit much of a poster on here as I'm certainly no watch expert

Re: New sales-corner rule
Blimey watch expert! Look a me, I know less about watches than Chester (our dog - one of anyway) and can only just tell the time on a "proper" watch but I've still managed to post several dozen times on here.

While well intended, I suspect the rule will work as other 'inconveniences' set up to disuade spammers (registration, captchas, having the first 5 posts approved by a moderator) etc. It'll weed out some, but not all, of the intended targets.poppydoodlesdad wrote:See what's happening now? It's now not acceptable to build up post quickly or in a frivolous way! You have to be here for a while and demonstrate your serious intensions.
I've no real objections to the 30 post rule but where next - 50, 100, 250, 500 etc? Or will you have to have been a member for a year or two? Will have to post about "serious" watch based issue?
The point is NONE of the above gives you a track record as a BUYER or SELLER. There are many regular posters who I am sure are entirely trustworthy but until you buy something from them you won't know that and no amount of posts will really tell you.
Just an opinion........

In the process, we'll see a sort of 'inflation' on what it means to be a suspicious seller. Before it was 1-5 posts, but now a 31 post seller or buyer will seem sketchy. Meanwhile, a quantitative rule has already given rise to qualitative judgement about someone's first 30 posts. (Leading to an obviously subjective and somewhat absurd debate about what should count towards those 30 posts.)
At the end of the day, there's is no perfect system for protecting people on the internet from those who will try to take advantage of other's trust.
Re: New sales-corner rule
I agree with the fact that this just forces people to make low quality posts in an effort to bump up their post count sufficiently. Would-be spammers will still however be deterred if they have to make a new account and 50 posts.
