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

This aint neo-geo. putting a minimum post count has all sorts of other side effects like people shitposting just to make the cut. People already are doing that just to get considered for raffles with a post count stipulation. A new shit member will always be a new shit member. I think the regulars police the forums well enough. but that's just my 50p

Some forums will warn, ban, or reset the post count of shit posters. I know the Sega Saturn one on ProBoards does that.

It's not a difficult thing to achieve if there's motivation for it.

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.

No one cares what DK thinks. Why should you?

That wasn't to say anyone cared. That was to say that there's needless drama when there doesn't have to be.

Totally agree. Rising the post count can be as easy as filling up the forum with sometimes useless single word posts.

It doesn't bother me that new people want to sell or buy stuff.
They may just be getting into the hobby and are excited about it.

I don't like people who come on to buy stuff just to flip, they suck.

What stinks is the only place to buy turbo stuff for me is feebay, which is a joke.

I'd rather buy from other collectors and Turbo fans.

If anyone knows of a site or place to buy turbo games feel free to let me know

That would be taken into account if just post count is considered. Like I said, there should be no hard and fast rule. IvanBeavkov's first handful of posts would give him full marketplace access, I think.

Really what is the point of posts like this anyways though? It's not like anything like this will ever be implemented. This forum is too small to be running off new people looking to get into the scene. How about being nice to new members instead of running everyone off like you see all the time and maybe these people will stick around longer

but, but deals! and lulz!

So I can get my post count up so I can be cool and buy and sell

I'm surprised this pole is so even. Must be too many noobs voting...

[RNSpeed]

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

[SignOfZeta]

Usually it's both, both piss me off, but mainly it's people who are new to the forum that are the ones I notice because...that's what this thread is about. If they aren't on the forum...how could the piss me o-...wait, I suppose there might some kind of psychic power that allows 90s kids who's existence I'm not even aware of to piss me off remotely...probably not though.

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

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...
