Hi, I noticed you need 25 posts and need to wait 14 days to make a thread at BST Section. I was wondering what exact purpose does this rule serve? Is it to keep the scammers out? - If anything, people who scam are people who have lots of time in their hands. They dont mind waiting and posting. It is often the poor lad who comes for a quick exchange that suffers. There are many new members coming here wanting to sell egold and others and willing to go first - basically risk free exchanges. I remember when I joined here, I urgently needed to sell some egold. I PM'd a guy. Him : "dude, you got 0 posts" Me : Whats the difference, I will send egold first Him : Fuck You scammer. How smart it is to associate post counts with Trust? If you look at DP, the entire place is filled with stupid posts that often have no connection to the thread. People trying to increase post counts. Why do people think post counts mean something? Like a high post count will give you some kind of auto trust. It really doesnt. I myself would trust a guy with more itrader. But then again, there are lot of risk free exchanges I could do. Good judgements can go a long way. 25 posts might not seem like a hard thing to do. I'm not a webmaster. I dont own any sites. I look at the general section and couldnt find anything interesting enough to post. I just want to do some exchanges. I could run around and make useless posts like most others. Infact, I dont think I have any other choice. DP is one of the largest forums of its kind. A good portion of the threads in BST are about money exchanges. Its a good place to come and do exchanges. Many members willing to do 1:1 trades. Is it Possible to have a new section for Money Exchange where even new members can come and do exchanges instead of waiting 14 days and making 25 posts on things you have no idea about??????? Thank you
no you cant have a new section, money trading is against the TOS of egold, paypal and moneybookers. you want to trade that then cool, but you take your own risks and chances. just how do you use good judgment on a guy with 0 posts? you say you'll trust someone with no posts, yet claim to use good judgment. how do you do that when you have no posts to read? peoples post history makes it a lot easier to see if you can trust them and at what level. 0 posts = beware buying itrader at 5c a pop makes a mockery of the itrader system
I have been reading your posts girl. You are one of the most negative things I have ever seen. You spend most of your day slamming people one way or another. Does that make you feel good? I bet it does As for staying within the topic : You took the time to bold that sentence but if you bothered to read the line before it. You could have understood what that sentence means. He was not talking about judging people. He was talking about good judgements based on "risk free exchanges" I guess english is not the first language in Denmark huh? Lelijke meisjes met computers
as you have gotten Dutch (Holland) mixed up with Danish (Denmark) i would say you are not to bright either. as to making a judgment about someones honesty, just tell me Einstein, how do you go about knowing if you can trust someone, when you have never seen a post they have never made? Vacant ? is that a state of mind in your case?
If I knew danish, I would have probably said in Danish duhh I think looking at their pics says a lot Nope. It means I'm heartless
The current rule appears to work well for the DP community and does deter drive by spammers and scammers.
