Good move, thanks.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you do criticize them you'll be
a mile away and you'll have their shoes.
My only concern is that the new folks are also the ones looking to complete their outfits. Just viewing Will Whitakers 7X17 Philliips and I see PM sent by a guy and that was his first ever post. I guess no rule is perfect. If that guy turns out to be a legit guy looking for a camera that looks like a connection that would never get made with the new rules.
"It is better to keep silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt."
Please do not encourage new members who want access to FT/WTB to post just to reach a minimum number. Quantity and quality are not the same thing.
I think the 30 day restriction is the right way to go.
Is it also the case that you've removed the For Sale postings from the "unified" view? If so, I would think that most people would find this inconvenient, as I'm guessing it's the view that is bookmarked the most.
I think the 30-day restriction is certainly the way to go.

Please don't add a per-post limit. All that's going to do is cause people to quickly post 30 non-sensical or at least non-useful posts so they can sell something.
And BTW, it's time to say something few of us say often enough - many thanks to you and Tuan, Ralph, Ted, and anyone else involved in administering and running this forum. You all do a great job.

My only concern is that there shouldn't be a # of posts requirement in order to view the FS section. There are a lot of members who lurk and never post much, but who may still want to buy something. I know when I've sold stuff here on occaision, many of the buyers were people with only 1 or 2 posts, even if they'd been members for years.
I do agree with the 30 day limit, though.
