Non-posting members

But if people aren't allowed to post classifieds before reaching, say 50 posts, it means we guys can miss out on some really good deals.

Which is exactly why we haven't done it.

Another possibility is to disallow noob posting in any board but one - the introductions board. Once a new member has a post count of one (i.e. their introduction), they are allowed to post anywhere. I don't think we'll do it yet, but it's a possibility in the future to stop spammers and bots. We'll take it as it comes.

Not that I don't love the core posters ? The forum is incredibly rich already but would only benefit from more opinions and shared info...

I think sometimes members ether feel intimidated, or have nothing constructive to say, and that’s why they don’t post. There’s nothing like egg on yer face to put you off posting, I got my nuts cracked a while back buts that’s life. Build a bridge and move on, I like the forum because of the diversification and the feedback you get from the members. 8)
