I like the idea behind Keyhotee and some of the DAC(s). Thanks for the efforts to everyone involved. I hope I^3 will reach at least some of the objectives it has. I'd be happy to help if I have opportunity and ability.

However I'd like to express my doubts that 20 posts will stop scammers (perhaps this will filter only the more devious part of them).
The main reason scammers are successful is that there are people who fail to recognize a scam and/or use insecure ways to trade. (I see some efforts in the direction of creating better/safer exchanges.)

My opinion is that hiding these subforums creates some frustration for new users (or these who only watch the forum like me) and the scam prevention may not be as effective as desired.
Anyway this is just my opinion and it may not be close to the real situation.

Thanks for clearing this up!

And how is the sanity of my posts controlled ?
Cant I just post useless information all over the forum this way?
Isnt this encouraging of "not so useful" posts just for the sake of trading?

I just registered this account to initiate a trade.
However the Sell PTS/Buy PTS boards are restricted for me (I can access them without logging in).
I couldnt find explanation about this.
What should I do in order to read/post in Buy PTS subforum?

PS: if anyone is interested in selling pts for ~100 ltc pm me offers.
