I think 20 posts is very reasonable. If I remember correctly we were at 10 posts and a minimum of 10 days registered on the site to gain access to the Sales section. Why did we have the 10 days?
I think I made 20 posts in the first hour that I was on the forum when I joined 😂🤣
To stop new members like Jedzed accessing the sales section within an hour. :ROFLMAO:
It also give us 10 days to try convince them that they might actually want to keep their doll. It did actually work a few times with members that had the instant buyers remorse and wanted to sell the doll the moment she arrived.
Anyhow, Freebies are only free if they are actually free and no money changed hands. Sending a doll up and down the country can be expective if you need to use a delivery service like UPS etc. Money would need to change hands, you would have similar risks to those in the sales section, it would just be a smaller amount.
We had a very active sales section, It caused us over 70% of our site problems, obviously we didn't get to hear about things unless it was reported to us or they came to us when it was too late, everything gets hidden in DM's, including all the undesirables that go around sneaking in the background upsetting members and asking if they can meet up and have a free go with their doll.
