It's settled then, I've created a new usergroup that all Registered Users will auto-promote to when they have made a certain number of posts. I'll do a bit of testing tonight before running the automated routine.
On the previous Rat.Net, there were some users who would make 10 worthless posts. It did make things frustrating. I may increase that to 15 posts.
Today, If a new user comes along and does 15 worthless posts it is easier for the Moderators to deal with. I've given them the power to execute a routine that will wipes a new user's history, PM's, posts, other data - and Bans them - in one click. I implemented it after the stereo/tv spammers started posting here.
When the change is done, newly Registered users will be able to see the ads and post responses/questions to them, but won't be able to create classified ads of their own until they "meet the criteria" for a Contributing Rat.Net Member.
This will not change the picture rule. When the Classifieds System is upgraded, I will implement a function that requires the picture before the ad is posted. I would have done it already, but there is going to be a lot of changes Classifieds supporting platform. It wouldn't have made sense for me to code something that couldn't migrate.
