MM access is removed if you fall outside of the 90 days 15 posts boundary.
Yes, when you come back into the 15 posts over 90 days, its restored
Yes, they do, if they stop, they lose it, if they resume to the required level, they get it back.
Yes, this statement is accurate
Yes, this is a first for us, I cannot speak for anywhere else.

I think @Feek, or another admin team has mentioned before that a significant number (paraphrasing here) of bad sales are from members who have not participated/contributed to the forum sufficiently.
Hence by automatically revoking their access, they hope to reduce the number of these users selling items.
Some, of course, will post more regularly, but this may also reduce the likelihood of them scamming/poor comms.
I am getting fed up with this entitlement and whingey attitude though (not aimed at you).
The mods are being pro active and trying something. If you don’t like it, tough.
It is literally 15 posts every 90 days for goodness sake.
This probably makes the most sense. Cutting out scallywags who are only here for the MM access.

It took a good while for this requirement to be decided on (there were thoughts of it being higher!), but judging by some of the reactions here, even if we'd set it at 1 post a year it would still be too high a bar

Moaners will moan
It wasn't a senseless move.
Your last post outside of the MM was in 2015, 9 years ago. Why should you continue to enjoy the benefits of a community resource?
Soldato
There are a lot of posts I'm not going to shift through, so I'll just ask: why are you restricting MM in this fashion now? Were inactives generally causing more problems? Do you just not like the feeling of someone who used to be active continuing to use a community resource?

Victim mindset. It's a personal attack on them.

Isn't spam also moderated anyway?
Shock as forum that offers a service to members requires members to participate...

Well, lets spoon feed it for you
Yes, we found inactive members were more likely to be involved in problematic transactions. We are also simply automating the existing rules in a new way to reduce the burden of, increase efficiency of, and consistency of moderation actions.

How many people who are upset about this also voted to change the Christmas pud? There must be a link.

Is there a quality bar on the 15 posts? Does this post meet that bar?

Got it, fair enough.

That gives zero reason why they're changing anything, just that they are.
