That your FIRST thread be in the new member section? I seem to remember reading that when I first joined the site, but in the last couple months it seems like atleast 5 people join a week and make their first post in the classifieds.
Maybe I'm alone in thinking they should make an effort to atleast appear to be a contributing member BEFORE trying to hock their wares, but I don't think I'm the only one 
Required??? No I do not think that was ever the case. Marlin Crawler has always encouraged folks to identify themselves after signing up. That in itself is just common courtesy on any public venue. I do not see MC ever requiring this.
As for For Sale, it has always been buyer beware. Always will be. MC can not assume any liability for bad sellers. You will not find that on the internet anywhere except maybe Ebay. It is MC policy to not delete old threads just because they are old. Threads can be locked or noted with a SOLD designation.
