Hello, I am looking to buy a database, but cannot post in buy/sell/trade since I am a new member. While I realize that it helps combat spammers/thieves, forcing a minimal post requirement encorgages "spamming" (i.e. post boosting) other sections to fulfill that. I think a different solution is in order. Maybe something to do with the telephone verification where a new member can verify his telephone (for free) and then be allowed access or some other method besides 25 post + 14 days. Honestly I have started looking elsewhere as I don't post in areas that I don't have anything to contribute to and DP is not a forum where I have anything to contribute. Hence why I never joined until now.
