Need at least 10 posts, apparently in the New Member section first. I know this is a few months late, but I've been a long time lurker and didn't realize this until recently. Hopefully other new members will see this note too.

Yeah I missed this too. I do think its kinda negative Nancy, I feel at least a non member should be able to see the classifieds. obviously not post.
Example: I was merely looking for housings and rotors on ebay, and wanted to check street price for these and come to find that the classifieds are completely hidden.
I own an rx-8 and am slowly building a REW block for a swap. I dont spend much time on here. Yet at least.

For all concerned, the key things to remember about classified restrictions are:
1. The classified area is a privilege to forum members who are active in the community.
2. The current post restriction prevents scammers, abusers, outsiders from either dumping parts onto unwitting members or taking parts away from active members.
3. The forum is a community; it is important that both parties establish a rapport and have a sense of belonging; a member would know a specific part is passed down to another member who needed it.
4. Not being able to view the classifieds avoids its circumvention. The purpose of the classifieds are to link member buyers to member sellers. The forum is not a second-hand marketplace for the general public. That's what ebay and similar online outlets are for.
5. A simple way for a new member to gain trust and respect of other members, and reduce scammers from preying upon the forum membership is to impose a 10-post restriction.
6. If someone just wants to hit and run for parts then a punishment would be awarded according to the forum rules.

This thread isn't ten years old! Although it is still a fairly old thread.
The first post looks to be from approximately one year ago, May 2018, if i've read it correctly.
For those that Terrh are referring to though, make sure you scroll back up and find Gen2n3 's post on the reason why.
I'm curious, even though its totally useless information, but does anyone know when the post requirement was implemented? ( ̄▽ ̄*)ゞ
