We do not allow new accounts to trade for many reasons, mainly to protect our less intelligent members from getting scammed. One reason you newbies don't realize is this:

People looking to scam, will do an infinite amount of good transactions with the community, then scam a newcomer like you. Believe it or not, scammers go through topics looking for people who are selling items, just to scam them if they have a low post count. Why? Because<span style="color:#48D1CC"> it's easier to get away with. Many of you newcomers wouldn't think to send me or another mod/admin a PM or even materialize a legitimate accusation, complete with proof such as:
a. chat logs,
b. ingame screenshots, or
c. paypal screenshots.
d. incriminating info on ko4life
Accusing someone of scamming with all four and having a low post count is like standing outside of your home with a sign saying "The World is Going to End." Do I believe you? Yeah, in a few million/billion years. Could I believe you? Maybe, but you could spark my interest if I had been an acquaintance or friend of yours. The same works on a forum like this, but instead of the "world ending for everyone", it would be for that one accused scammer, and by "acquaintance or friend," I'm looking for intelligent posts made by you, as I do look back on old posts.
