People currently can't post in the market/service section without 40 posts. Im guessing this is to reduce scam attempts but shouldn't it only be limited to starting a new topic under those sections? I see alot of guests browsing the market, and if they make an account, they wouldnt even be able to post or request a service. I think it would be better for business, and better for the site overall, if anyone could post under existing threads. The service providers have the higher risk of scamming, not the people requesting a service
People are saying this will increase scamming but i don't see how... unless somebody went first to a 1 post newcomer, there's no way a scam can take place
It's just like someone walking into a store for the first time, why would they need to be known before they make a purchase?
