i don't know if you've noticed, but we've made a change. as of last week. it's this: previously, you had to wait until you could sell on slowtwitch. you had to wait a month or some such thing. second, you had to wait in order to PM.
the first wait period was to make sure newbies understood what it is we do around here, and to become in some way a part of the community first, and then you could participate in the classifieds.
the second wait period is because we were getting a bit of PM spam.
we're trying out the idea of no wait periods. let me know if you get any spam in the form of a PM. in terms of classifieds buyers and sellers who are new to slowtwitch, just, look at somebody's user profile. you'll see if they're new. if they are, then, whatever it is that this means to you in terms of extra vigilance, now you know that these new folks are tabula rasa. forewarned is forearmed.
let me know how this goes.
