Well, being a guy on this board for a little over two years now, I'm aware I'm a lurker. I have had a long journey to being a monster owner, and have soaked up much valuable knowledge. Like what others have said relative to their similar situation, I don't tend to post too much because I still consider myself a noob on much that has to do with riding a motorcycle. I don't think I even have 25 posts yet, but I think the 50 post idea is a good one. If I ever had something to sell here, I wouldn't want to be viewed as a traveling salesman. Just my 2 cents.

I so enjoy the banter, though...  [beer]

25 posts to sell.

cheaters will out themselves pretty fast i think....

Nobody is going to see that.  Should have used flashing colours and Mel's pom poms to grab people's attention. 

;D
And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Voted (xx number of posts) before posting in classified (added first post to be introduction to the forum)  25 and 50 seem like a lot though (maybe 5 or 10)

But regardless, I think this forum is great! without this criteria so far, but I always welcome improvement like this.   [Dolph]
2001 Supersport 900 Yellow!!! (she's just so much fun)
2000 Monster 750 Carb Dark!!! (Sold and still full of regrets)

I voted to leave it open for now.  If it turns out that we have a LARGE number of traveling salesmen, and it's taking time for the flounders to screen, then I want to change my vote to 25.


If there wasn't some sort of a problem, DP wouldn't have asked the question.  How much a hassle/inconvenience have traveling salesmen caused for the flounders?


...yes, I read all 8 pages-I'm a lurker.
2003 Monster 620 Dark - Sold

1999 Monster 900 City - Sold

After 7 years of Monsters, I'm sadly bikeless right now.

May be a better way is to hide the For sale section to members that have less than 25/50 posts, so they don't know that they will need to post +1s before it appears, and it will be a pleasant surprise when it does show up to new members ;)

But that might draw them to the main board..

There is no easy way  [bang]

Actually, that's a pretty good idea.  What do you think Nate?  The entire Flea Market can be hidden until/unless someone has enough posts to become a Jr of Full member.

I'm attracted to that idea too.... not sure if there's an easy technical way to implement it though?

That would reduce the audience that can purchase and IMO would be bad for the members that are part of the community and happen to be selling. It's easy enough to do it that way.

The other way only prevents a new member from starting a thread in a for sale board.
.
To answer an earlier question...it just frosts me when I'm looking through the classifieds and I see a member with say 22 posts and every one of them is in the classifieds.

That isn't what this place is about. It's a community, not an economic opportunity.

Yup.  It's these guys who get my ...goat.

Probably should put your goats in a more secure area so the youngins don't hijack them.
