Simply because of a few reasons.
1. This is not a democracy.
2. All it takes is some one with some pull on the forum to start a poll for just about anyone and they will get banned.
3. This is still not a democracy.

I don't understand why this can't be peoples Personal policy to not trade with those who have 0 refs/feedback.
Ive had a couple good and one bad transaction with newbs but I made all of them ship first. I received good equipment twice and once I received 2 bxi2608's which both were stuck in protect which I sent back on the buyers dime and never shipped out my gear.

Meh. I've seen plenty of people here with only a few dozen posts buy and sell stuff just fine. 200 posts is a lot for someone that is busy and doesn't care about being involved in a forum. They just want to sell. I had like 1,000 posts before my first sale, that doesn't make me any more qualified though. Yes, I do feel more comfortable if someone has a greater post count, but if they only have 80 posts and have 7 positive feedback, that will make me feel a lot more comfortable. If someone only has a couple posts and no feedback.... why WOULDN'T you be skeptical? No one is forcing you to buy from them, but you should know you're taking a big risk. Personally I'd ask if they have feedback from selling anywhere else. I get an address and a phone number. I take every protection to try to ensure my safety. Also, I'd ask if they could ship first, since I have established feedback, and they have none. I'd even be willing to pay another $10 for them to ship first.
Maybe that'd be a good "rule". People with under 200 posts have to ship first?
CACO has a rule that you can't post in classifieds unless you have 100 NON-TROLL posts elsewhere in the forum. So, that forced me to get involved in the forum if I wanted to sell there. Now of course you have to pay a subscription skam fee thing, so it doesn't really matter if you're a good or bad seller as long as they get their money.
I really don't see what is so difficult for you to take it upon your self as a buyer, to make sure the person you're buying from is reputable. Post count is the worst way to go about that. If they've been here for 2 months and don't have any positive feedback, you should KNOW the risk you're taking. NO FEEDBACK, IT'S A RISK. It's up to you to take that risk, NO ONE is forcing you to buy it. If you have some positive feedback, maybe you could talk them into shipping first. I developed some buying feedback before I made my first sale. And I also had some people that I've met personally vouch for me. I did everything I could in my power, to help a potential buyer feel comfortable. I took detailed pictures of everything, took videos, and so on. Be a good judge of who you're buying from.

Or have several thousand posts and plenty of positive feedback and think that there's a better way to go about it.
