On another forum to which I belong, when a reputable, senior member conducts a trade with a new or unestablished member, it is expected that the unestablished member ships the merchandise or makes a payment prior to the senior member fulfilling his/her portion of the transaction. Like this forum now has, there is a feedback system in place whereby you can track the number of positive/negative transactions all members have, and you can read comments posted by the members who've traded with that member before. This seems to consistently work. In the rare case that an unestablished member is unwilling to send first, the two parties have agreed to ship the items to a neutral third party, usually a moderator, who completes the transaction by shipping the items to their appropriate destinations (without receiving monetary compensation). This is a lot to ask of a moderator, but thankfully it is rarely requested. I'd say that about 40-50 transactions for gold and silver bullion are completed daily on the other forum I'm referring to. Just some thoughts . . .

EDIT: I like the new rules put in place, and I very much support the feedback tracking system. Thank you Snowball.

I would like to purpose amending the seller's 25 posts must be valid meaningful contribution.  None of the one word or short phrase replies to every postings to bypass the intent of the rules.

Can you link to eBay auctions if you have less than 25 posts?

Also, I feel dumb but I can't figure out how you give or receive karma. Are there links under each post somewhere or something?

The short answer is no.

You may want to read this discussion about badges and karma: http://china-mint.info/forum/index.php?topic=7463.0
We decided not to have the badge feature.  You may receive karma but You need to post 163+ messages to give karma.  A "applaud" will increase your karma and a "smite" will decrease your karma.   Applaud or smite (or most likely no reaction) is based on what you wrote and is purely subjective from the giver's perspective.  We are a friendly community and we generally refrain from giving newbie (up to 50 posts) negative karma with one exception: bland, or "ditto-like" answers in rapid succession just to boost your message counts to 25 will definitely get you negative karma.

snowball looks like chinese right?
cos u r very care someone call u sb,  haaaaa

I would like to purpose the BST rules 1 be amended from one month membership and 25 postings to two months membership and 50 postings. This will provide extra time to assess the credibility of the new seller by forum members.

In addition, if it is possible, the reading and acknowledgement of forum rules be a part of process during the registration as a new member. This may require the change of software.

[Mirkkanen]

The second paragraph is especially worthy. I am in agreement with this idea.
