Ticket Exchange Forum - Some Safeguard Changes...

In order to better reduce the potential for scammers or spammers, the below changes are being implemented to who will have access to view or post in the Ticket Exchange Forum going forward.
  1. Added a new secondary user group of "Ticket Exchange Access"
  2. Added a user promotion process/cron job
    1. Runs every 2 hours to evaluate criteria
    2. User gets promoted to the new secondary user group after they have been a member for;
      1. At least 10 30 days
      2. AND have at least 1 or more posts
  3. Changed Ticket Exchange Forum viewing/posting requirement to;
    1. Logged In User
    2. Valid Status (i.e. not banned user)
    3. Secondary usergroup includes "Ticket Exchange Access"
For now, viewing is still allowed, but posting new threads or replies is not allowed until the above is met.

9/29/24 Update:
I edited the above after doing some thinking. I'm not even going to show the Ticket Exchange Thread unless you meet the requirements. Better to be safe with scam buyers as well.

These changes are a first attempt. If we find we need to further restrict to those either longer term or more required post counts, we can adjust.

11/10/24 Update:
Requirement for number of days registered has been increased from 10 days to 30 days. Further changes will be made if/when deemed necessary.

Note that I have a bunch of scripts running right now to finalize the user promotions, cache, etc so give it until say 5pm today for changes to be reflected for all.

I think there needs to be some safeguards around people talking about other people's moms. That **** has gotten way out of hand.....
Oh, I so wanted to make a joke about people's moms and hands, but I will resist :jimlad:

To those wondering how to gain access...

1 - You must be a member for 10 days or longer (will increase in future)
2 - You must have at least 1 post (will increase in future).
3 - You must wait for various scripts and cron jobs to run - meaning there are system events that are schedule for various frequencies, days, etc and those will grant you access (the new usergroup, you don't need to worry about it). It's possible it may take up to 48 hours for the right sequence of the jobs to happen to make the magic happen, please be patient.
