A lot of sites make it so its official members only who can post ads. you dont want that because you're not a premium on here.
Taking addresses helps both deter problem sellers in the first place, and is a source of info when stuff does go wrong

no need to x amount of posts if its made so only premium can post ads.
il stick my neck and say if you do this the quality and reliability of the ads will improve no end

I can see the ads leaking onto the main forum somehow if you only allow premium members to post for sale ads. Minimum posts is the best idea really.

Exactly. As by putting a minimum amount of posts on folk, that might increase the level of spam. I think premium members only being able to post is a good idea. In theory it should reduce the amount of bad sellers too.

yeh, preem member's should only be aloud to post stuff for sale, but non preem should be able to post on the thread.
also the person who posted the thread should be able to lock it after the sale is done/finished

I think the person who creates the thread should be able to reply to their original.
Add new pics / bump the thread to the top.

I payed whatever the fee was to become prem on briskoda solely to be able to post in classifieds to sell whatever it was I was selling.
I have never used any other prem feature apart from that and wouldn't think of renewing.
I'm not a dodgy seller but just because I paid a few quid to post doesn't mean I'm not.

I don't know how to make it perfect or even if you could but was just saying that a few quid wouldn't put a lot of people off if they were scamming much more than that.
If only the world wasn't full of badgers
