I get that CC requires a certain amount of trust, and that there should be some sort of barrier to entry (else the drive-by issue would probably make it a fairly difficult site to use).
I do not, however, think that new users, and users with smaller post counts need to be repeatedly given the message that their posts aren't good enough for the 'club'. Whether intentional or not, repeatedly raising the requirements, and suggesting they should be even higher does exactly that.
I wouldn't mind seeing 'oldtimers' grandfathered in. @:-)
I know of many
club members that have been
taken by other club members. High post count isn't a guarantee of a successful trade.

Agreed.
My opinion is 180 days/90 posts. I read a lot but there are too many experts here thus I usually don't want to post a potential wrong anwser for the question.
Compromise. @:-)
Lots of longtime posters here who do contribute, but have low post counts.
