[QUOTE="JoeLewisPhotography, post: 16227, member: 3571"] This is a great idea...and would love to see it implicated...somehow. In reference to Anthony's last post.....I am on several forums where there is a minimum post count in order to view the classifieds...to help weed out people who are just there to sell stuff. This is a good idea for a pro section, to a point. Now all of a sudden you get "post happies" who will chime in on everything with a "nice, great job and I like it" just to up their count to the required limit, meanwhile, never once contributing anything useful to the site, just so they can get in. I have seen it all over the place, and it is very difficult to moderate. Then, there is the whole debate on what to put the post count at if you did something like this....it can go on. I have also been on forums with private password protected sections, where you had to pm the moderator for a password....all fine and dandy, but think of all the PMs the mods will get, and have to try and verify....it seems like a ton of work for a free site.....
