I've been on forums where this has been the case. Waiting say two months and 50 posts isn't difficult. But as above, they need to be meaningful posts.
As I and others have said countless times before, this isn't a website for buying/selling stuff like Amazon or ebay. It's designed to allow like minded people to chat about cars and maybe other things. If you can't be bothered to do that, are you really somebody who: 1. Can be trusted? And 2. Should be around here?

Better idea.
Also make all listing a requirement of "Picture with signed piece of paper and date" :happy2:

From my point of view though.
I wanted to get intouch with someone selling there car.
Had there been strict selling rules displace stating either s contact number or email address I'd not of needed to join. Or make ten meaningless posts before I could pm him
I agree a bigger limit of post should be needed to actually sell in the classified section but not to pm a person.
Scn did lose slot of people too.

I refer you to my above comments. It doesn't much effort to make 10 meaningful posts. You just cannot be arsed with it. If you could not see the classified, you would not have joined and then spam posted.
I speak the following for myself only: I'm hacked off at the number of people who register to sell/buy and then piss off never to come back again. To those people, why don't you just piss off in the first place?
Rumple:
I mean it is a hard one, as much as you don't want the forum full of people talking nonsense to get post counts up just to sell or buy stuff.. But equally the more people selling stuff the more bargains to be had for members?

Are you more likely to buy off someone with a 25 post count or with a 2500 post count (all else being equal)?
