Site suggestion
Posted: February 7, 2012, 2:47 pm
I love the site and thought I'd propose a suggestion. No idea of the technical components or feasibilty of the idea, just throwing it out for consideration.
In an effort to reduce spam, maybe we could limit the ability to post in the for sale section until a member has 30 days and XX number of posts made. Most spammers are too lazy to get around a waiting period. Regarding posts, it would be easy to eliminate posts which are clearly made to drive up the number of posts.
Also maybe the addition of flagging posts like they do on Criagslist. Could set up categories such as "spam", "wrong forum", "slicks with chevy motors" - you get the idea. Have it set so once a certian number of respective members flag the post than it is deleted.
And yes, this idea is in response to our new friend "Partsdoctor" with the health issues trying to sell his junk on the site.
