Seems you didn't
get it right.
None of what you're saying has anything to do with Joel's post. Joel_Jantsen was stating that it would be negatively affecting the few newbies that actually do provide proper collaterals and get loans passed.
Reason is simple :Maybe out of the blue a newbie will happen to the forum with a valid collateral.It has happened before,I have seen newbies getting loans worth over 2+btc with their solid collaterals.Would be unfair to them although the chances of them asking loans here is once in a blue moon.
For a band new user, He only requires 14-15 activity to get promoted to Jr Member due to advantage of their starting activity boost.
Anyone can get to Jr Member account easily with their brand new account by making only 15 posts.
And can easily abuse this forum with it.
For a brand new user, it takes at least 2 weeks to get to Jr Member (should they sign up right before the activity increase). You can't become a Jr. Member with only 15 posts.
Where are you getting your information from? As well, "abuse this forum with it"? How can they do that? By asking for loans? Negative feedback. Nobody's stupid enough to offer loans to anybody that doesn't provide valid collateral at that stage. Unless they're an alt*
When i had opened a thread for my lending service many newbie and brand new users asked me to fund them.
Actually it is so annoying. Also i knew they all are alts but i can't do anything except refusing them and wasting my time
Simply ignore the newbies that don't have collateral. It's as easy as that. If you run a loaning service, you should be aware that you'll be getting requests from people who are bound to be scammers.
Also if they are legit then they can wait for a month to get 30 activity and get promoted to Member, which will only take a month.
Members are not at 30 activity.
That would be a Jr. Member.
P.S.
