Re: after so many years, why still penalise newbies ?

im nt sure who started this system, but i guess d bro had in mind to give out contacts to bros who could supposedly be 'trusted'. other bros seem to like d system which had its fair share of success ... a trend started n stuck on til today.

i do emphatise with d TS. yes, what if a bro has 1000 pts? does it make him more 'trusted' than 1 with 10 pts? we r living in a cyber world in SB, there r all sorts of characters ard. i dun thk we can fully verify who can b trusted unless we knw d samster personally. i had read in prev posts hw a 'senior bro' cheated d PRC of her $. Yr pt abt AV is valid - whthr it's 10 pts or 1000 pts, both could still be an AV. however i thk psychologically, bros still pref to trust some1 who put in hard wk n earn their rep thru pts over d yrs rather than a newbie who just joined 3 mths ago with 10 rep pts n asking for contacts.

on FRs, i cant agree more tt some bros juz conveniently copied, altered n pasted n made it their own. again it's hard to verify d authenticity, so i guess it's best to leave it to d perogative of d contact giver to decide.

seriously, i oso cant thk of any better resolution to yr issue. Like some bros mentioned, it's oso a gd way to sieve out d contacts given out so tt at least some qty ctl is there. imagine if it's a free for all, d bro wd b a busy man giving out contacts everyday. n if d contact is posted openly, it may lead to lots of prob, eg d gal may get lots of prank calls, sabotage fr rivals, n easier access by AVs. any1 got better sugg???
