I believe people should have to be registered to have the right to post in these Forums.
Although I dont believe that users should have to have posted a minimum amount of Posts in the Forums in order to have the right to respond or Post in the classifieds Forums like some lame Forums Web site we all may have come across.
I understand that on that site it is meant to discourage Trollers (Rip of artists) from posting or responding to posts in the classifieds Forums to search for thier next victom to rip off.
But at the same time it also is a inconvienance to the honest guys out there who want to just sell there unwanted hardware.
So those measures are more of an inconvienance to members than they are to the potential Trolls.
