Nah 50k now I'm afraid!
No way, when did this change?

I have to say I'm split on this one, I think having a minimum post count and time on the forum is useful, but perhaps the minimums are a little on the harsh side, myself as an example just over 5 years and I don't qualify which does seem a tad restrictive. If I may make a suggestion, it might be worth reviewing transactions on the MM that didn't go well and seeing if the number of posts / length of being a member directly correlates - it might be for example that lower minimums might have the same effect as the 180 days + 1000 posts - just a thought.
Without spending weeks producing a dissertation my spidy senses say the majority of the disputes ( of which there are very little, if any ) are between buyers and sellers just over the post count threshold.
For the amount bought and sold the ratio of satisfaction / dispute is tiny.

I would say from my experience using the MM, there wouldn't be enough data to conduct that experiment. I've only had 2 bad experiences:
- A guy returned stuff claiming it was faulty when I believe they just changed their mind. They expected a refund before I had received the return, which I refused to do. I honestly think they started to panic that I wouldn't refund the money.
- I got banned for accidentally doing a price drop around 10 minutes before the 24hrs were up. It really annoyed me, it just felt totally harsh as ****. Especially annoying when others were breaking rules and continuing to post, but hey ho on balance I can't complain (genuinely).
Is that 2 out of 130 transactions though? If that's the case then that is not bad at all
@String no your ban was because you bumped your thread, not for an early price drop.
The entry criteria won’t be changing, and if it keeps getting brought up then I’ll up the criteria to 2000 posts and 6 months membership.
I'm looking forward to entry to MM in 2036. 465 post's in 16 years.
If you reply to this it should knock a few weeks off
You remember wrong, you only got an infraction for that - I can see your notes.Infraction led to a ban if I remember right (it was years ago). I think the infraction itself was harsh considering I had only started using the MM.

Any way, thanks for steaming in MM mod style and reminding me how Draconian you all get when the mere whiff of criticism is headed your way. It really adds to the experience.
And you think this is draconian? Bend over...

I only asked! Didn't realise it was a regular occurrence
It isn't, the MM Mods are a bit heavy handed but you get used to it; all for the right reasons.
