    I agree as well @sabergirl. And I think that is what has been happening. The example given was quite an extreme one.

          As a newcomer - has this already been implemented? I can see the marketplace but I have less than 20 posts, I don't want to break any rules by posting before I'm technically allowed!

            There’s a mechanism in place whereby people below a certain rank should not be able to post on the Buying and Selling, Stuff to Trade or Want to Buy boards.

                First we’re banning people from selling and now we’re banning judgy dicks?!?!  Well that puts me in a real pickle now doesn’t it?

                    I’ve learned quite a bit over that exchange and have done some deep introspective assessments.  Everything is a balance…

                      I’d like to think I’m grandfathered in for being a judgy dick.

                                How about 20 posts AND 1 month as a member.  Maybe that would cut down on the necroposting [emoji6].

                                I rarely use the buy and sell boards so what goes on there doesn’t really affect me.  But the spamming and necroposting in other threads does.

                                    Not an option with the current software sadly. And I agree that the necro-posting is an unfortunate side effect of the policy.  On balance it is the lesser of the evils.

                                      I have been reluctant to post this as I don't want it to come off as a complaint.  It is an observation and wonder if others are noticing a similar experience.

                                      First, I fully accept that the items I have on my sales thread may not be of interest to prospective buyers, may be priced wrong, or any other number of reasons.  That said, in the past I have been able to sell items fairly quickly.  Since the changes to the market place were implemented, I have received zero inquiry on some items that I recently put up for sale.  I have also noticed bumping seems to be more frequent by other sellers which suggests to me their items for sale are sitting idle too.

                                      Again, not a complaint, agree that some type of change was necessary, and I don't have a better solution to propose.  Just curious if others have observed what I have noticed?

                                        I think the holidays are always a slow time for selling.  It picks up again after the credit cards get paid down.

                                          Perfectly reasonable observation and an interesting one too.

                                          I agree with Matt that December will be slow anyway due to folks having other priorities. But it would be naive to think that locking out a portion of members who only visit the forum to use the Marketplace will not have at least some effect on sales.

                                          As for the bumping, it has been noticed and excessive bumping will be followed up more closely.
