I think that is a wonderful idea for our Young Numismatists (if that even is a word)to have a place to call their own to post stuff they need help with specificially

Yes Mom I agree wholeheartedly! They can learn from one another also and will probably come up with some interesting and educational threads for their age levels and interests.

Indeed there might be a need for a YN section. But there is one major thing that I must point out, that is we cannot have too much handicaps / benefits in on a certain group of people.

Suppose if it takes 100 posts for YN to trade / buy etc, this will disencourage them to sign up as a YN, and hence completely backfire. On the other hand, supposely if we encourage them by giving some free cheap world coins by the end of 100 posts as an encouragement to see them learn and genuine comments about numismatics, perhaps that might work. But again, there are always advantages and disadvantages over any ideas.

YN's could still trade at 50 posts. I was looking at the security factor. I don't want new members to automatically be able to view the YN section and know who our young collectors are. I would like to see Adult members have 100 posts to be able to view and post in the YN section.

At 50 posts YN's have the same ability to trade in the B/S/T section anyway. I also think it's very important that YN's still be encouraged to post on the main forums for the benefit of all members. I do understand that YN's have questions and difficulties specific to the fact that they are young and mostly not working as they are still in school.

I am going to post a poll in the Main Forum to see how members feel about this. I hope our young collectors will also vote in the poll so I can determine the need for the section.

I hate to continue dragging off-topic, but a point needs to be made: A minor by definition cannot enter into a legal contract and can therefore welsh on any deal made online without fear of retribution. That is why all the sale/trade forums I keep contact with (numbering over two dozen) prohibit minors from participating. Trust me on this one - I've been down that road.

Also, consideration needs to be given to the inevitable bad apple. I don't believe we have one yet, but there will be. Does one ban an IP, or an entire subnet?
