Title: New Idea. Only forum members can use SR.
Post by: jackofspades on April 03, 2013, 07:36 pm
What would you guys think if SR made it mandatory to have a SR forum account?
Make it mandatory to have at least 50 posts or JR member status in order to make purchases
or conduct any business on SR. (this could go for sellers too)

This would make sure people know what they're doing before they actually DO IT.
It would cut down on scammers who are just looking for a quick pay day, of a one time buy and not pay or create a new account.
I believe it would also cut down on LE trying to attack us.
Even the FBI DEA CIA have better stuff to do than reach 50-100 posts on the forums.

Maybe even different variations such as minimal purchases ( 1BTC or less) for anyone with less than
a SR member rank. And anyone with a SR rank or higher has no restrictions for buying.

Just some thoughts, and i believe these can be expanded on greatly, with the help of you guys!
I think it would add some more security to SR and despite the fact that
it is supposed to be a free market, we have to realize that anyone with an Internet connection can basically find there way here.

Lets work together and fight back against LE and thieves!

Hoping to hear from a lot of people on this!

I'd prefer to see it invite only.

Yeah I doubt SR would ever put that into action, considering it would limit their income. it's like turning on the metering lights to get onto the freeway. If the point is to have as many people using the road as possible, then you don't want to deter the influx. freeway/ silkroad pun not intended, but applicable

Most SR newbies like to be able to log-on to SR and have a look around before making orders or getting too involved. I personally made an order from a local vendor to test the sites legitimacy before I really started researching on the forum. The Road is open and libertarian, not a secret cabal.
