Few week ago maybe a month or so. Lots of people were getting PMs replying to WTB adds in the classifieds by people that had just signed up and had 0 posts and had just happened to have exactly what the looker wanted. All you had to do was send him or his friend an email with your payment info and he would get it right out to you. So somebody suggested a 50 post minimum before you could PM and I think Rick Bin decided the number should be 20.

Might have the specifics all mixed up but that is the premise of what precipitated the new minimum post/pm rule

Edit: My own personal rule is that I will not send anybody any money that hasn't posted 1000 times. Never been burned.
