If a users first posts are high quality, he might get whitelisted fast. I do this in my local board since I became moderator.
My first posts are all high quality. The posts of my main account are high quality.

I don't participate in any of the local subs from my main account though.

You are a selling an account on DT, thats not high quality, thats just a regular ass trading thread. By that logic any trader that paid a few satoshi should be whitelisted.
I paid ~.003 BTC which is no small amount if you ask people in third world countries.

Yes, some people have to make a living off of 60 cents, but I dont see how this is applicable here. You try to sell an DT account for 1000 USD, I dont think you have a problem with a few cents.

I highly doubt that my main account is on anyone's ignore list, at least not anyone reputable.

But you are not asking about your main account to be whitelisted. You said your posts are high quality, my response is: nope they are regular sale posts. Besides, "not beeing on someones ignore list" does not make your posts high(!) quality. It might make them not(!) low quality, but thats true for almost anyone here. So why do you deserve special treatment?
Try to ingore the fact that I am trying to sell something that you probably don't want me selling. Also please try to ignore my asking price, I will most likely receive significiently less then my asking price.

Even though I bring it up constantly I dont have a problem with it. Im actually very glad that you do the deal here and not elsewhere. It shows how good ratings from DT are, that every feedback has to be questioned and that everyone has to make up their own mind.

My point is that me paying the .003 BTC is an anti-spam measure. The 360 jail is also an anti-spam measure. Why should I have to be subject to 2 anti-spam measures (both the tax and the 360 second jail) when others are only subject to one anti-spam measures.

The .003 is that you are allowed to use the account. You registered it with an IP that was heavily used for spam in the past, thus you have to pay for the spammers that came before you. I know it sucks that spammers use Tor (I assume you use Tor), but there is little one can do it about it. Either the anonymity service is good or not. If its good it will be used not only to protect the privacy of those with good intentions, but also the privacy of those with malicious intentions (I dont see you in this category btw).

I am paying to keep my identity anon, so I don't see why I should also have to wait a long time between my posts. If I end up breaking the forum rules then I will end up banned and the .003 BTC that I spent will go to waist (plus the various tx fees that I paid and the fees associated with mixing the coins)

Correct, you paid for your anonymity not for special privileges.
