you might post something you think is useful and another person might not think so... you post something you think isn't useful and someone else might think it's useful.

Forums are to post in, not just for lurking. I too once lurked and just sucked in all the information I could, shoot I did that before becoming a member and after becoming a member... then I decided it was time to start giving back, so I started posting.

Post my friend, post!

I posted a kernel I built on Sunday that fixed double-tap bug in Android for Touch Diamond and Pro, does that count? Oh wait, it was on XDA-dev :p I know what you're saying, and I would like to contribute more, but I don't think 50 posts should be the sole criteria to be able to sell or even post on a sale board... but yeah, it's a tough problem to solve.

Aww, thanks for all the support guys! I PM'd MindFrost so hopefully I will hear back. Since I appreciate the need for the system to keep spammers out by default I think simply being accommodating to serious people with longstanding accounts is an appropriate way to rectify the situation for those of us whom are legit. We'll see what happens!

(Wow.. more posts in one forum than in months hehe =))

maybe the solution could be instead of 50 posts, a $20.00 donation to the site?
I don't know if spammers would pay $20.00 so they can start spamming... or is it that members of the site won't donate $20.00 to get to the bargain trader? I mean how many of us pay to be a member at Sam's or Costco?
What do you think would be a different way besides 50 posts?

You're very welcome and I am sure you will get answered when he awakes tomorrow morning. He never leaves anything unanswered. :)

By the end of this thread you may be up to 50 posts ;)

Good food for thought....I'm sure Frosty and the admins will speak on this tomorrow as well. :)

I personally agree with the 50 post count. Mbrs that spend the time on here posting and helping others should get first dibs. I do understand that there are instances where some folks have been around a long time but you also have to keep in mind, the 50 post helps weed out the folks that would hop in and give you the run around to try and make a quick buck without giving you a darn thing. I have been on forums where the bargain trading section had a sticky for "People not to do business with". Id say we are doing pretty good considering there isnt one of those in our bargain section.

yeah every post in the "feedback" thread is all good news.

I agree with the 50 post min. If you are an exception just PM Mindfrost for a special post based on the fact that you're not here to scam, but honestly how taxing is it to just post 28 more times, especially maybe since you seem very versed in android head over to the android forums and post a couple of helpful hints, i swear Carla won't bite your head off over there (well, probably not)

I think it should be increased to 100. All in favor, say "I". /sarcasm

Hehe yeah I'm gonna start posting re: Android (see! i'm getting better: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...07#post1642807) if anything this has motivated me to Speak Up! Making WinMo ROMs was not my forte but I can mess with Linux with the best truubergeeks :p I found a Touch Pro 2 for $180 & it's not the end of the world if I sell my SERO 500 on ebay, they go for ~$25 more there anyway. But I'll admit I was just sort of shocked I couldn't post here... though it does seem like 50 posts is the least-hassle way to weed people out. How'd 50 get chosen as a number? Also, yeah I would've donated to the site to sell my SERO, but $20 seems a bit much..
