If post count is what makes you decide on the risk by all means use it as you see fit. I just don't see the administrative staff adding this as a criteria for that forum.

True, I've seen long time forum members do the same but not as often. I just find it hard to trust someone who's first 5 posts are in the classified ads and they have no input or opinion on any other thread on the whole forum. I wouldn't buy anything from someone with no posts but I'd hate to see somebody get ripped off. When I scan through the for sale section almost every time well over half the ads are people with less than 10 posts. In my eyes they are all scammers as they rarely stick around especially if they don't sell their shit.
