I’ve been a new member since April of 24 and I still see “new members” on my profile still and was wondering if there’s a rank that pass “new members “ also what does “think twice “ mean when I see on my profile and many others? Thank you
 
More precisely it means they are not verified, to use caution, possibly try to verify them in additional ways. (other sites, other forums, speak on the phone, etc)

This applies to Buyers or Sellers
 
Would you guys rather the term Use Caution? I'm busting my balls trying to make it so people don't send to new accounts or low usage accounts.
 
You need to upgrade your account which is essentially a verification.

Thank you I appreciate it

I do appreciate for the work you put for the website, I just got confused and want to question the community about it when I fist saw when I logged in. The low usage make since since I don’t log in a lot

How about another 2-3 public posts/messages and see if that changes anything; add that to your 8? 😉

It's kind of like a gun forums version of look both ways before crossing the street.

No wonder I was confused by your thread title. It should be, "How does one rank past New Member?". Usage of the word "rank" as a verb would have made more sense with the correct preposition.

I assumed it’s based on the amount of posts a while back. I’ve done a bunch of PPTs and purchases here but mainly lurk myself and barely engage 🥸
That’s right, if it was by feedback that would encourage fake feedback. The thought was if you got more than 3 real feedback you probably got a good deal and it’s worth a donation to upgrade to get rid of it or encourage people to voluntarily verify their account.

People keep sending money to fresh accounts though. New member was always there but added some visual cues
 
Throw out a few controversial opinions, as long as their genuine. Like how striker fired polymer pistols suck. Message alot of members trying to make some deals and trades happen.. Ignore idiots who post statements in the question area of your posts of low-ball offers that should have been a direct message. Ask for crazy prices on your high end items and reasonable prices on your reasonable items as is the custom here.

Low ball offers and DM don’t count towards message count. Low ball offers will be removed and if consistently egregiously low across multiple people, will get a warning.
