30 Posts and 30 days
Admins-While I understand control measures are required to mitigate nonsense posts and classified ads, I think the 30 day and 30 post restriction is somewhat unnecessary.
I have a 2004 IS300 with 49K miles that I think would be great car for someone but I cannot share it with the members of clublexus in the marketplace due to the 30/30 restriction. I believe you should implement something less restrictive.
Thanks!

There is something less restrictive for folks like you who are members that browse more than post. And you'd meet it if you posted 4 more times in the main forums 
Explained right at the top of the marketplace in the rules sticky:

If you knew about the large number of ripoff artists we get who want to join and immediately scam our members with fake sale ads, I'd hope you would have a different opinion about this for the good of the CL community - this simple rule keeps many of them out, despite its inconvenience for you posting your car for sale.

When can I start a new thread in the Marketplace?
Creation of marketplace threads in our Classified forums is free, but is a benefit for our active forum members only.
This means new members must contribute to the discussion forum for a minimum of 30 days AND 30 posts before they can post any items for sale or post want to buy threads. Or for those members who read more than they post, we give access after 6 months membership and 5 productive posts. In the interim, they can still respond to existing threads to ask questions and purchase items from qualified members.
This restriction is due to a significant increase of zero-history members posting high dollar items for sale without vouches and having problem sales.
Once members meet both the minimum post-count and time criteria, they will be automatically promoted to the group that can post items for sale. If members meet these criteria but have not been active on Club Lexus for some time, they must make a post in the discussion forums before being promoted.

We have no way to restrict marketplace ads for want to buy vs for sale posts, so they are restricted to the same 30 day and 30 post minimum. That promotion is all automated and triggers once you hit that criteria
you can still View and search member for sale threads, respond to them to ask questions.
