I like this idea. Over the last couple of weeks I have seen a couple of people posting in the classified area as their first post. Those people are just scum looking for a quick sale or scammers.

If I remember correctly, the idea of letting new members post in the For Sale area was because we wanted it to be open to new people looking to rehome their snakes.

If a minimum number of posts is required to post in the for sale area, I would suggest creating a seperate "Adoption" area to cover that circumstance.
