are there any cut and clear rules to the different member ranks of the site?
First, more buyers (however new) only helps those members who are trying to sell things, its basic economics.
Second, if someone has never personally heard any decent headphones then how can they honestly "contribute," are we trying to add to the already horrendous problem of people adding their unfounded opinions on items that they have never actually thoroughly experienced?
Third, who really cares?
The whole point is to stop people from registering just to use the F/S section
God forbid they want to sell something nice for a decent price ...
I am also knee deep in this new member pm cap thing. I have read in other discussion forums here at Head-Fi the tactic used by elsdon and many others does seem to help. As I understand it, if you make your initial contact ( general questions to the seller ) via open thread and in then your first PM include all your info at once + your email address ( to be used for other nagging questions back and forth ) you should be able to comfortably commit to the seller in your one remaining reply. Take the time to mention you are under a PM limit. Most members will sympathize with your frustration and work with you. Some will not.
Very annoying that the rules for PM'ing aren't spelled out clearly. How can a rule have any validity if it isn't clear?
