A few recent threads have prompted this.
On another forum, not woodwork related, that I am a member of, you have to be a member for 90 days before you can view or post in the "Buy Sell Swap" section.
Do you think we need something like that here?

View - No.
Post - possibly but we are moderated so the Big 'R' can step in if needed. 90 days would be too long though.

Im curious as to why you have raised this, termite. Does it bother you when someone's first post is in buy sell swap, or have there been some bad experiences there that im unaware of?
If so maybe more than a qualifying time period may be good, sufficient reputation points??? anyway, I dont understand the problem yet so no real point in me looking at a solution is there?

Just asking for overall opinions, I'm sure there are valid reasons for and against.

G'day,
My days of qualifying have long gone. In days gone by I used to pull up the lights in my old XE and drag others off. :D

G'day Gumby,
Bugger you're a hard bloke to come back with a good one liner.
But I always left two fat black lines. Once I forgot to change gears and bounced the valves - oops! :o

Yep, Gumby has definitely earned his signature. He's King of the Hijack. :D
This was basically the idea of starting a more or less useless poll, to find out who would get the s...s with it first and do a decent job on it.
Hail King Gumby. :D

I'm stuffed if I know what category I am then. Between the glue, finish, paint, tar and oil stains I've no idea what colour mine are... and don't remember back to when they were new. At least they match all my other clothes.
Great camo for when ya don't wanna be found in the shed during coffee break though. ;)

I don't think that the waiting period is required.
It might be one of the things that get people into the site in the first place.
If a post is REALLY inappropriate, it can be axed.
If it is only inappropriate in the normal sense it can simply be hijacked until the post no longer has any meaning - just like any other post! :p
Cam
ps I wonder if this site keeps on coming up on FBI watch lists or something considering the amount of hijacking that occurs...
