Should we have a post requirement for new people posting in the sales thread?

So>?   Whats considered a noob?  A person new to the forum or a person new to the TG16/PC Engine scene?

What is a noob? A miserable little pile of secrets!

Good answer, but that concept can't be applied in general to all people. Well at least until they prove the contrary

Love that game btw. Way more intense in Japanese though. It just seems like there is more collectardism as of late and not enough gamers. Very evident in some of the posts I have been seeing in the past year...

Totally agreed,  not enough gamers. People today buy the systems/games to simply store them.

I do get the wild west sort of feeling that people like. My major concern with that is that we get trolls like DarkKobold coming into threads and defending people who "police the forums" as you say. And I never see a post-count for BST threads, though if/when I resume trading/selling, I may start requiring one.

Yes, because treating new people who don't know the culture of these forums like shit is a wonderful policy. This is especially true when the nuttiest of this forum try and get personal details, draw phallic symbols on kids heads, or threaten to call child services over one dirty room in the house.

I don't know when you grew this hate-boner for me, o.p. Back on DoxPhile, you asked to help with Catastrophy... and now you can't go a post without mentioning me in a negative light.

I'm here almost every other day. I don't post much because I'm a man of very few words, but I definitely do enjoy reading the content. I do like to sell or trade a few things from time to time.

While I'm way below the post count, I was going to vote for it.  But then I thought, sure, it prevents a lot of the "drive-buy" people, but who does it help by keeping them out.  The person selling them here has less people to sell to, and limiting post count before you can sell means there's less things to buy.  Should just state in the rules "Sellers are free to refuse sales to anyone they wish, and are encouraged to not sell to people with under 100 posts".

Personally, I think before anyone's allowed to buy any US HuCards\TurboChips, they have to buy one CD-Rom or import.  I'll freely admit I'm not a collectard hater, but people who say "I have a complete TG-16 library" when they don't have a single CD-rom or import piss me off; you're ignoring the bulk of the good games.  Course 90% of those people can only name bonk, zonk, blazing lasers, and magical chase; maybe Ys too.  But I'm biased too and been playing imports for years thanks to DieHard Gamefan getting me addicted.
