The right decision was made IMO. There are several reasons for the rules set up for that forum section. Yes spam is one reason. Another reason is, this is not Craigslist. You cant just pop up in here & use our classified section for your 2nd craigslist site.
Granted, the member has been here for a year or so. But the fact is, we dont know the member... you dont know the member. The reason the 60 post count is set up is so a member can join the site to participate in the forums. This allows you as buying members to at least have an idea of who your buying from. Sure, on the internet you may never know who your buying from but the 60 post count does establish him to some degree beside just letting someone with 20 posts come here & sell you goods.
The bottom line is, the rules are here for a reason. To protect the forum from Rif Ralph, spammers, people using our forum as their personal DJ craigslist & so you will know somewhat about the person you're buying from. Its not to say that the OP is a bad person, here to spam the site or to rip anyone off, but we have rules in place for a reason. You have to go by them.... & he has to go by them.
