Or if you wanna do it even quicker, then head in to football section.
DM will be your best friend. Just argue anything about Arsenal ...
Come work for OcUK and do support posts I can assure you they will bulster your count.
got a 150 reply thread with one customer. He's not come back so i think I finally fixed it
That's an advertisement for quality service right there. Sticking with someone for so long!

Post count doesn't mean someone is going to use it as intended, as evident by people complaining about feedback in this thread.
I don't post a lot on forums and I have 100% feedback with over 1000 auctions on a popular auction site, but because of some ridiculous arbitrary rule I can't sell my stuff here just because some spammers or scammers might try it on.
But yeah you don't care about me because I haven't spammed enough **** like Magnolia to get access to it.

The fact that you and everyone else knowing who Magnolia is shows he's contributed and is a well established member of the community
Opening it up to everyone would be a terrible idea as there's nothing to stop people setting up multiple accounts and scamming people repeatedly. There's always a chance of something going wrong even with 1000 posts needed, but I'm willing to bet it happens less since they upped the limit.

Good god you're right. COMPLAIN COMPLAIN COMPLAIN

lol did you type that with a straight face?
I guess it is a fine balance between protecting MM users (high post count) and those members that are honest but maybe don't have as much to say/help out with (low post count with a looong period to get to 1,000)
Saying that, I don't think it should be any higher than 1,000

The irony is, the more you post to complain, the more posts you get out of it. So keep going!
Waits for Gilly to step in and deduct posts from all members post count from this thread
anyways.. as the op.. I don't really want to spam the forums, but as is been made plain to me that is the way to go.. as I originally said, if you have been here 3 or 5 or even 8 years.. surely you aren't here to spam or annoy? You are actually here to be part of this community.. be it 10k posts or 3 posts, if you have been here that long, you certainly aren't suddenly going to become a dick no? Getting older you are less likely to become a nobber of a forum, sorry statistics say most forum dicks are under 20. Anyways glad this made a few pages of interest.. good luck folks.

If you make three posts in three (or more) years then you're not really engaging with the community - you might even read the forums every day but just reading forums doesn't give other people who don't know you in real life anything to go on. You might be utterly fantastic in every way but unless you actually comment on things and try to give some input then there's no way for other forum members to make any kind of judgement - "ah, they've been here a long time but said nothing until they want to sell something, they must be a top geezer" isn't a judgement that's entirely supportable.
Yes, post count as a measure of "contribution" is a crude measure and even linked up to amount of time on the forums doesn't necessarily give absolute assurance but based on experience with these requirements in place it's not a bad proxy.
Spamming is not the way to go, if it's noticed then you will have your post count reduced. I've got few doubts that there will be some people who would be excellent users of the Member's Market and that would be true the instant they joined up irrespective of their post count or time here but we want to try and make the MM as safe as we reasonably can so there are some requirements in place which are clear and straightforward - you may not like them but they're there for a reason which many users can appreciate.
