Nursery for New Members

How many people are likely to be put off, do you think? I asking out of interest. I have never used the classifieds section of the site, but the point you raise is worth considering - but only if we can get some sort of estimate of the numbers of people likely to be put off.

I have no real way of telling, but my guess would be that it is not uncommon for people to be put off by filtering of any kind when there are places, like singletrackword, where they can sign up and post their crankset, two frames and headset in the cassifieds without having to wait for 48 hours or throw up a few arbitrary posts (let alone getting called a cunt and told to fuck off).

Unless this new system is pointed out to people, they might just sign up, find that they cannot post the stuff they thought we might be keen to look over and simply close the page and go elsewhere.

This is all guess work on my behalf, but not an unreasoned guess.
