We actually haven’t voted on you yet

Why are people posting in this thread? All you need is one post anywhere on the site, it doesn't have to be here. I can access the ticket forum and I never posted here. Did you guys really not have access? OK, I guess I have posted here now but I had access before this.

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 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.

I'm all for adding protection to the site. However, I'm still not quite sure how it works. For instance, I see lots of people posting here in order to be eligible to sell tickets. Is that only necessary if you haven't posted somewhere else on the site? I had not yet posted in this thread, but I had access to the Ticket Exchange forum.

Good post. I just posted about the exact same thing.

I saw posting here more as a place to reference check than a requirement to gain access

I was a long-time lurker and needed to post somewhere...thought here would be as good of a place as any.

Posting to meet requirement

Currently, you just need to have posted one or more posts at any time, anywhere on CF. That requirement will likely move from 1 to 5 or 10 at some point, but I wanted people that lurk but not post a chance to meet eligibility of at least 1 post historically.
