One thing I would change is the 50 post limit to get to buy and sell. I understand why it's there, but newbies are some of the people who would benefit most from 2nd hand gear. If I want to go there I'm left with the options of waiting until I hit 50 posts organically, or shamelessly spamming to get to my 50.

I totally agree, as a beginner I need all the help I can get in getting equipment. Also there is so much info already it’s hard to ask original questions. This site is just far too good! I think I might understand why there is a 50 post min, but aren’t new people to astronomy more likely to want to buy equipment?

This is a fantastic site and I’ve not been able to take my eyes off it for at least a week. This is my 3rd post and I don’t want to sound like a moaner (sorry).

I’ll get there in the end I know, less searching for answers and more posting!
