I have cut a few cabochons, it takes a good polish.

Actually she wants to put up a wanted to buy but the classifieds doesn't distinguish between buy or sell. So 50 post is now required. This new member chose to make dozens of one letter posts in old threads to boost point count. I would have e gone into he newbie section. Started my own thread and then said hi in 49 more. That's just me.

Sounds like it's actually 100 posts, which is fine by me since this forum is not meant to be a sales forum, and "new members" posting blasts of commentary that sounds more like grooming than participation is still a fairly regular occurrence even with the safeguards.
A little more patience and I bet she would have found her quartz.
Resurrecting dead threads to up your post count?

Then a yard sale section for non payers who post a few items a year.
