The mods who have graciously volunteered to help out on here have enough work to do besides evaluating new members on a case by case basis as to whether they are "worthy" to post.

Personally, I think someone should be a member for 60 days and have at least 50 posts before they can post in that forum. That's less than 1 post per day, but is enough of a deterrent and forces them to contribute in order to use this site for their own benefit as a sales tool.

BO does not benefit, financially or otherwise, from someone who registers and just wants to sell their stuff (unless they are posting eBay links which become BO affiliate links). This way they might actually increase the usefulness of the site by posting over a couple months in exchange for the right to spam. Plus it's really easy to tell who is posting just to reach the limit, and they can be taken care of in other ways...
