I've recently changed things on RCR.
I had it set up so you had to have a minimum of 20 posts before you could see the Trading section and also to be able to PM.
This has worked well for some time now, but i realised just how restrictive it is for the genuine person when i joined another forum and wanted to ask something through PM.
There's had a minimum on Trading section, but not on PM'ing. I found it so helpful, i changed RCR.
So we now have 20off min for trading and 0 for PMing. I think 99% of people know dodgy pm's when they get one from people who have just joined. They then either contact me or just plain ignore the PM.
