Minumum number of posts for Classified section
How about implementing a policy that you cannot start a FOR SALE thread unless you have a minimum number of posts? I have no idea what that number should be. Say 50 or 75? This will keep spammers from being able to spam the classified section and it will most likely cut down on the amount of scams since most scammers are new members.
Yes? No? Maybe?

Problem with that idea is that a spammer could care less where they post. They won't necessarily post in the Classifieds, but they will spam ANY forum they can. So if we limit posting in the Classifieds to users with certain amount of posts, the spammer will just post it in another forum.

A lot of boards do have minimum posts anywhere from 10-100. I don't think it makes a difference except for making the people who TRULY have something to sell go out and make a bunch of useless posts to be able to post in the classifieds section.
